Looking back, the 2014 Chrysalis Butterfly Ball delivered one of the decade’s most memorable dual style moments. Diane Kruger turned heads in a black velvet-and-lace Nina Ricci dress paired with what might be the skinniest-strap Dior sandals ever to grace the red carpet.

At the same time, Fast & Furious star Jordana Brewster offered a softer, romantic counterpoint in an embroidered floral-lace silk dress by Peter Pilotto.
Together, their looks captured the elegance and contrasts that defined early-2010s Hollywood glamour — minimalist edge meeting modern femininity.
Diane Kruger Redefines Minimalist Glamour in Nina Ricci & Dior

They’re so skinny that they seem to threaten to break at any step. We bet our entire shoe collections that they offer no support whatsoever and that all that’s keeping them together is Diane’s iron foot grip and prayers.

Style Details: Diane’s Ultra-Slim Dior Sandals & Vintage-Modern Finishing Touches
Ankle-strap sandals seem to get skinnier and skinnier each year. At this rate, straps will be as wide as dental floss by next spring/summer.
That said, we love the little details of Diane’s ensemble at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball. The lace godet at the side of her Nina Ricci dress’s skirt is actually a sexy sheer thigh slit.
Her Anya Hindmarch “Crisp Packet” clutch added a modern touch to her look’s romantic vintage vibe, and we love how she matched her lipstick to her shoes.

How do you think Diane Kruger’s Dior sandals compare with Saint Laurent’s “Jane” sandals spotted on Nicole Richie, the Giuseppe Zanotti “Coline” sandals spotted on Adriana Lima, and the celebrity-favorite Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” sandals?
The Dior sandals have skinnier straps than the other barely-there shoes but have thicker, flared heels. Imagine how much more fragile they would look if they came with stiletto heels!
Jordana Brewster’s Romantic Take in Peter Pilotto & Jimmy Choo

How do you like Jordana’s outfit? In May 2014, Rita Ora wore the same sandals at the 3rd Annual Gabrielle’s Gala fundraiser.
