Diane Kruger kicked off the holiday season in style, appearing in a bold red-and-black Patou outfit for the unveiling of Printemps Haussmann’s 2025 Christmas window display.

This year, the iconic Parisian department store is celebrating the opening of its first American store in Manhattan, and its window displays serve as a playful tribute to New York. The 2025 concept features a pack of dogs roaming famous Manhattan landmarks, including the MET steps, the Rockefeller Center ice rink, and Times Square. The displays will run through January 4, 2026.
And what better way to welcome the season than with red? Diane clearly nailed it. Let’s take a closer look at her festive look.
🎄 Festive Parisian Flair: Diane Kruger Dazzles in Red and Black Patou
Diane Kruger arrived in a striking red-and-black Patou ensemble, and I immediately felt the holiday energy in her look. It was festive, bold, and a little playful—precisely the kind of outfit that makes a window display unveil an event.
She wore an oversized, boxy red cargo shirt from Patou’s Fall 2025 collection, available for $800 at Farfetch.
Made in Madagascar from crisp organic cotton poplin with a sculptural structure that held its shape beautifully. It featured a pointy collar for a sharp touch and a concealed button placket that kept the front clean and modern.
The oversized chest flap pockets gave it a utilitarian edge, and the long, wide sleeves made it feel effortlessly cool. Even the buttoned cuffs featured a Patou logo, neatly embroidered on the left sleeve, for a hint of luxury.

Patou has become a red-carpet favorite for celebrities who appreciate modern tailoring with a playful, Parisian twist. Diane’s look continues this stylish legacy, as several other stars have also embraced the brand’s chic designs in recent seasons.

🖤 Chic Layers: A Croc-Belted Mini and Clever Styling Choices
Underneath, Diane layered a thick black choker and what appeared to be a red scarf, tucked into the neckline. I thought this was a wise choice, as it added dimension and kept the outfit seasonally appropriate.
Diane tucked the shirt into a black, belted mini-skirt, also from Patou. Made from boiled virgin wool, the skirt had a structured feel and sat low on her waist, giving the whole outfit a cool ’90s silhouette. It featured a back zip and front low pockets, adding a hint of practicality to the sleek design. You can get it for $880 at Farfetch.
This skirt originally came with a wide fabric belt, as seen on the runway, but Diane opted for a croc-embossed leather belt instead. And honestly, I loved this switch—it added texture and drama to the look. It actually seemed like the same belt Sydney Sweeney recently wore with her plum Patou ensemble during her Christy press tour.

💄 Soft Glam Meets Sharp Edges: Diane’s Beauty Look and Accessories
Diane kept her beauty look soft and naturally glowing, which balanced the boldness of her outfit. She wore her blonde hair in loose, tousled waves that framed her face and softened the sharper lines of her shirt and boots.
Her makeup stayed soft and natural, with a wash of nude-pink eyeshadow to brighten her eyes, soft mascara for definition, and a hint of rosy blush to warm her cheeks. A swipe of nude-pink lipstick completed her natural-looking glam.
For accessories, she opted for a minimalist approach, which I thought was the right move. She wore only a few delicate rings, adding a touch of sparkle to her ensemble.

👢 Glossy Over-the-Knee Patou Boots Steal the Spotlight
To finish the look, Diane stepped into a pair of thigh-high black boots—the same pair Sydney Sweeney wore recently, so it’s safe to say they’re also from Patou.
Made from glossy, pebbled leather, the boots added texture and shine to her look. They hugged her legs all the way up to her thighs and featured pointed square toes paired with high block heels for an elongating finish. Sleek and striking, they were the perfect final touch to her festive, fashion-forward look.

Diane Kruger has long been one of the most consistent red-carpet style icons, effortlessly blending French elegance with modern edge. From couture premieres to film festival juries, her fashion choices often showcase an impeccable eye for detail—especially when it comes to her shoes.
