German actress, former fashion model, and fashion icon Diane Kruger attended the ceremony, where she presented the Fashion Star award to her date, Jason Wu.

“We first met in 2009. I was looking for a dress for Cannes, and I always watched the up-and-coming designers. I asked if I could try on a dress, and he showed up at a photoshoot I was doing to fit it himself. To be honest, I didn’t know right away that he was actually the designer, because he looked about 12 years old,” Diane Kruger told Instyle about meeting the Taiwanese-Canadian artist and fashion designer for the first time.

Diane, who played Helen in the epic war film Troy (2004), added a hint of edge to the dramatic yet modern outfit with a pair of bizarre earrings and black lace-up heels. She rounded out her look with side-parted, slicked-back hair and bold red lipstick.
