- On Good Morning America this week, Beyonce “wore a perforated long-sleeved bright yellow leotard with a fringed skirt” that would be questionable on anyone but her, and a look that may have coerced me into saying anything nice about the outfit. [The Cut]

Glamour is Condé Nast‘s top newsstand seller, averaging 550,900 copies per month last year, though this year that number is down to 459,000. Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive, however, is keeping a cool head for these numbers, claiming that it’s “no secret” sales have been falling off:

“It’s the classic thing. A girl has 1.7 seconds at the newsstand to make her decision about your magazine. Are we using that 1.7 seconds as well as we should? If we need to do that more ferociously and with different people and different topics, then we will.”

Glamour‘s array of different people this year have included Reese Witherspoon, Kim Kardashian, Diane Kruger, Kate Winslet, Emma Stone and Olivia Wilde with Blake Lively covering July’s issue. Leive hopes Lively will turn things around, especially in light of recent alleged events:

“My top seller this year is Kim Kardashian. Although I have hopes that Blake Lively’s nude picture scandal will put her over the edge. Just kidding, Blake.”

Totes kids…but honestly, Blake, if you could leak some other “fake” nudes, Glamour would seriously appreciate it. [WWD]

Armani Exchange Neon Carnival: Armani Exchange and 944 Magazine took over a private airport on the outskirts of the festival and built a fully-functioning, Armani Exchange-branded carnival. In addition to the ferris wheel, giant slide and carnival games, they managed to build an outdoor club in the middle of the venue, complete with celebrities and bottle service. DJs Devin Lucien, Jesse Marco, and DJ Politik kept the energy high while young Hollywood danced the night away. Josh Hartnett, Paris and Nicki Hilton, Camilla Belle, Kellen Lutz, Penn Badgley, Tara Reid, Jamie Chung and Elijah Wood were just a few of our celeb spottings.

Heather and Jessica from GoFugYourself replied sincerely to our questions. They frankly chatted about diva celebrities, the bashing that they love and the occasional death threats! Surprisingly, their dream shoot would feature plus size actress Gabby Sidibe. Keep reading…

Who are your 3 worst dressed celebrities?

JESSICA: It really varies. Sometimes even people who look terrible most of the time can pull it together, and vice versa. I’d say poor Britney Spears is reliably disastrous.

HEATHER: For me, right now, Taylor Momsen and Leighton Meester are knocking it out of the park when it comes to making my head spin.

Who is the best dressed celebrity?

JESSICA: I am loathe to pick a best-dressed — EVERYONE looks crazy on occasion. I would say that there are some celebs who are consistently interesting though, good or bad. I always look forward to seeing Diane Kruger and Zoe Saldana.

HEATHER: Among more casual celebs, I like seeing what Rachel Bilson pulls out — sometimes it’s gold lame shorts and matching blazers, but often, it’s really cute-with-an-edge cocktail dresses.

Which is the hottest diva mess? Kate Moss, Courtney Love, Naomi Campbell

JESSICA: Courtney, hands down. Although even if I thought it was Naomi, I’d never say so. Never enrage a rageaholic. But Courtney takes it easily.

HEATHER: Yeah, Naomi is a diva mess in a whole different way than Kate and Courtney. I think Courtney wins it on a technicality, since it’s hard to be as much of a disaster as she is, but I’ll say this about Kate Moss: She definitely acts like she thinks anything she puts on her body is instant genius, and I think she’s wrong about that 99 percent of the time. So as far as people who think they’re fashion icons go, or people the fashionistas want me to believe are icons, Kate’s diva mess is industry-leading.

Fuck Marry or Kill and why: Taylor Momsen, Kesha, Chloé Sevigny

JESSICA: That’s a tough one! I’d marry Chloe…and flip a coin for the other two.

HEATHER: I would marry Taylor Momsen, because her age makes one option illegal and the other option (while also illegal) kind of more tragic, because she can’t die before she has a chance to pull it together. So I’ll kill Kesha, I guess, because the world needs Chloe Sevigny’s crazy clothes and awesome, awesome acting. Sorry Kesha. It’s nothing personal. Maybe I can kill her… WITH KINDNESS. Except no.

Why do you love bashing?

JESSICA: Well, I don’t really think of it as bashing as much as I like to think of it as being hopefully humorous constructive criticism! Maybe that’s just spin! But I think it’s important for there to be places where people pierce the PR bubble that surrounds a lot of celebrities: I can think someone like Leighton Meester is fantastic on Gossip Girl, and still dislike her pants. And I think everyone likes to critique celebrity outfits — for the good or the bad. Who hasn’t sat on the sofa, watching the Oscars and thought to herself, “Whoa, that person has all the resources in the world and they STILL look terrible? How is that possible?”

HEATHER: I don’t think of it as bashing, either. I think of it as humor writing, and for me, that’s the key because I just love to write, period. And if I get to write about something that’s fun to talk about, even better. For me we’re not really a fashion blog so much as we are the online experience of goofing off with your girlfriends on a Saturday, watching cheesy movies and flipping through whatever magazines are on the coffee table. We used to get occasionally about how cruel we are (thought not in years, thank God), and I have to say, I really don’t believe that if you read our site you will come away thinking we are being cruel. There’s a real undercurrent of affection for these wackadoo celebrities and their terrible clothing choices, and that’s genuine. We love what we do, and we love them for giving us the fuel to do it.

Have you ever received hate mail or death threats?

JESSICA: Death threats over a celebrity fashion blog would be so extreme! YEARS ago someone said she’d smash our skulls if we ever said another mean thing about…it might have been Mary J Blige? I can’t remember. You’d think she would have known that Mary J had no room for any hateration in our dancerie. We get hate mail every now and then, but we’ve been doing this since 2004. By this point, most of the people who think we’re assholes have already written in.

HEATHER: It was Lil’ Kim! She was in prison at the time, too. As for hate mail, we have a feature where Intern George answers our mail, and those are all real letters. People don’t believe that even though it says so at the top of every post, but it’s true — none of those are made up. But it’s definitely tapered off.

Would you want your own reality tv show?

JESSICA:  I used to work in reality TV and I can think of nothing more horrifying than being the focus of one. Besides, a reality TV show about us would be PARALYZINGLY DULL. It would just be typing.

HEATHER: Yeah, I cannot imagine that being a good idea for me OR for the viewing public. Yikes. I have a hard enough time looking at photos of myself.

Which publication would you want to contribute to?

JESSICA: We’ve been so lucky to contribute to a lot of great publications in our career. I think if I had to pick one, I’d say the New Yorker. My parents would be so thrilled! (Plus, it would be so classy to mention at cocktail parties.)

HEATHER: The New Yorker is a good one. But a huge part of me would love, love, love to write for Sports Illustrated.

If you were to style an editorial shoot, paint us a pic of who you’d use, the clothes you’d pick, and anything else relevant:

JESSICA: You know, that’s not really my area of expertise. We don’t even feature editorial shoots on GFY. They’re so fantastical that they don’t really play into what we talk about — which is basically what celebrities are trying to tell us about themselves based on what they wear out and about. I’m perfectly happy looking at editorial shoots in my magazines and not worrying about all the creative work that goes into creating them. I would not even know where to start!

HEATHER: Nor would I — that’s pretty far out of my purview. Actually, never mind: I’d kind of love to give Gabby Sidibe in some of the best of Alexander McQueen. She is so fabulous, and I feel like during the run-up to awards season she didn’t get access to as many imaginative outfits as she deserved. She’d have SO MUCH FUN romping around in his confections. Making that happen would rule.

#1. Sophia Loren in Armani Prive. So bad I don’t even have words.

Another award show, another bash offered by André Leon Talley! Although I agree with him mostly, his naming of Penélope Cruz (she looked like an old lady) as best dressed really made me question his other decisions. I agreed on Drew Barrymore (my worst dressed of the evening) yet completely disagreed on Diane Kruger (who looked gorgeous in a mustard colored dress). Read his article here.

In no particular order, here is our list of the best dressed celebrities from last nights Golden Globes.

1. Olivia Wilde in Gucci

My second fave look of the evening, a perfectly fitted dress to go with a perfect face!

2. Diane Kruger in Christian Lacroix

Love her and everything she wears, how can you not love this dress? The color is amazing and the white bow is perfect.

3. Kate Hudson in Marchesa

Kate wears white soo well, I love everything about this look, including the perfectly matched shoes!

4. Drew Barrimore in Atelier Versace

Was not loving the hair, but the dress is pretty amazing! Glad she (or her stylist) picked something so distinct!

5. Tina Fey in Zac Posen

Perfect perfect perfect! The length is great, the shoes are adorable, and it fits her like it was made for her!

6. Chloe Sevigny in Valentino

Amazing, gorgeous, fabulous, stunning, perfect! My favorite look of the evening hands down!

7.  Zoe Saldana in Louis Vuitton

At first I didn’t like it, but the more I look at it the more I like it, especially the color.

8. Cameron Diaz  in Alexander McQueen

Cameron looks stunning in red, and she’s probably the only person who can pull off shoulder pads on the red carpet.

9. January Jones in Lanvin

Even though she wore all black, the satin accents, including the headband are fabulous!

10. Maggie Gyllenhall in RM by Roland Mouret

Love the color, and the cut is perfect on her figure!

“I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesn’t mean being pretty.” -Diane Kruger

Famed fashion photog and frequent French Vogue contributor Patrick Demarchelier shot actress Diane Kruger for French Vogue Oct 09. Styled by Vogue Paris Editor-in-Chief Carine Roitfeld, Diane goes from fresh-faced blond to a black lace clad minx…and it’s ultra fabulous. I am sooooo loving this lace trend.

Written on Cult Indie

Diane Kruger spills about inspiration for her role in Inglorious Bastards, her German roots and her knack for portraying a glamorous image in a time of panty flashing starlets. Tim Blanks, a contributing editor at Style.com, is the perfect match to interview Diane, a modern fashion icon.

A New York Times critic once described Diane Kruger as “too beautiful to play a role of any substance.” Cast your eye over her career as, first, a successful model in Paris, and—since her film debut in 2002—an up-and-coming actress, and the beauty part is irrefutable. As for the second half of that critical appraisal? Well, Kruger, now 33, is fortunate that her latest director is Quentin Tarantino, who likes nothing more than a kick-*** glamourpuss with acting chops. As the enigmatic Bridget von Hammersmark in Tarantino’s World War II epic Inglourious Basterds, she gets to challenge preconceptions about glacially gorgeous blondes. If the movie is a twisted once-upon-a-time fairy tale (crammed with more sadistic gore than even the Brothers Grimm could muster), the German-born Kruger makes a suitably steely princess—with a sense of humor. She even has her own real-lifeprince: Fringe actor Joshua Jackson.

TIM BLANKS: So who is Bridget von Hammersmark?

DIANE KRUGER: [laughs] Well, she’s a German movie star of the time, and she’s also a double agent for the British. But she’s not 007—not the supersleek killing machine. Bridget is sort of like Mata Hari. Because of her status, she knows Hitler and Goebbels and really high-placed people, so she relays information.

BLANKS: Did you have anyone in mind when you were conceiving her?

KRUGER: Yes. I immediately thought about a German actress who was very famous around that time called Hildegard Knef, who not a lot of people are really, truly familiar with. And, obviously, there’s Marlene Dietrich, but I didn’t want it to be too obvious. Quentin could cite you 58,000 people he was influenced by, especially a Hungarian actress called Ilona Massey, who played a femme fatale in a couple of movies. I must have seen at least 20 or 25 movies that he was influenced by and that he wanted me to watch.

BLANKS: Filming in the Babelsberg studio where Hildegard Knef and Marlene Dietrich made movies must have been a rather remarkable experience.

KRUGER: Yes, I have to say those studios are very, very cool. You do feel the spirit. We worked on the Marlene Dietrich soundstage a couple times. And the costumes were great. Also, I have to say that what Quentin does best is write for women. All the female characters in his movies are very powerful, very smart. He really wants women to come through as these fierce creatures.

BLANKS: What do you think it is about him that responds to women in that way?

KRUGER: I don’t know. A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty. But for Quentin, it’s not about that. He really elevates you, but not in the sense of how well you’re lit or how well you’re dressed—it seems sometimes like he doesn’t really care about that stuff; he’s someone who looks at women much more as part of his creation. I feel like I’ve never been looked at by a director in quite the way Quentin looks at me. He and I really clicked. He loved Bridget. For example, one thing that is very little known is that I get strangled in the movie and he insisted on doing it himself. So in the actual close-up of my death scene, those are his hands. It’s like, “Okay, are you trying to tell me something?” [laughs] Quentin gets really obsessed with these female characters! My death scene was scheduled for one day, and we ended up shooting it for three. He didn’t want to let go of Bridget.

BLANKS: I think that’s what Alfred Hitchcock used to do with Tippi Hedren. If she ever was under attack in one of his movies, he would be the one who showed the actor exactly how to do something weird to her. I bet Tarantino knows that.

KRUGER: I don’t know about that, but while we were shooting he was definitely reading up a lot on Josef von Sternberg [the Austrian-born filmmaker who worked with Dietrich and Charlie Chaplin]and his direction. There’s actually one shot that was sort of his von Sternberg moment, which is in the tavern scene.

BLANKS: How is it for you going back to your home country, particularly a country that is so completely saturated with that period of its history—World War II—when you’re playing in a movie that’s bringing back a lot of the issues that existed around that time?

KRUGER: It’s a very different time . . . I don’t think my generation carries that weight anymore. But I’ve got to tell you, even if we don’t really talk about it, we get reminded constantly by other people or other countries. I get offered a World War II movie at least once a week just because I speak German and was born there. I have always stayed away from it because I didn’t want to be put into that box. What brought me to this one is that it’s not historically correct, it’s a very different take on World War II. And I love the idea that I personally, through Bridget von Hammersmark, could have helped bring down the Third Reich.

BLANKS: I guess it’s a variant on Helen of Troy in a way. She brought down an empire as well. You’re the destroyer of worlds . . . But a common theme in everything I’ve read about you is that your star has been steadily rising, and now you’re on the brink of something big. Do you have that feeling yourself?

KRUGER: To be honest, I’m not sure what that means exactly. I think that I’ve followed my little path slowly and steadily, and it’s not been an easy journey. When you think of Troy [2004], my third or fourth film, and how overexposed I was for the little experience that I had, it was kind of an exciting place but also uncomfortable because I felt like I was just starting out. I didn’t even know what I was doing. So over the years I’ve made a point to take smaller films and work a lot in Europe and just focus on my craft. I’ve worked with actors who were very helpful and a lot better than I was. For example, I made a film that nobody saw called Copying Beethoven [2006], with Ed Harris. That was a revelation to me because he really took me under his wing. But I definitely feel very good about Inglourious Basterds. I play a very powerful character. She’s definitely the leader of the pack. And that’s not easy to convey on-screen. I don’t think I tend to look that way. I feel it’s a side of me that nobody would have expected to see.

BLANKS: Bridget is also very glamorous, though.

KRUGER: That’s just her outer aspect. That’s not what this character’s all about.

BLANKS: Presumably, as a famous actress who is also a spy, she’s using her natural assets to get what she wants. She uses her glamour to further her cause. One thing I’ve always noticed about you, at the Met Ball or wherever, is how comfortable you are with being glamorous. It’s a lot more complex than being pretty or even beautiful.

KRUGER: I grew up loving actresses or actors who were very classy but who seemed a little bit mysterious because you couldn’t grasp what they’re really thinking. I mean, Grace Kelly always looked impossibly glamorous, yet you could always see there was something behind her eyes. And I’m not saying I’m trying to emulate that, but I want to be seen as, if not glamorous, then definitely as someone who has a certain . . . class, I guess. You would never see a picture of me coming out of a club without my panties on.

BLANKS: Also, the fact that you wanted to be a ballet dancer and an injury stopped that. I imagine that must have been pretty traumatic for a young girl.

KRUGER: Yes and no. I think what was more traumatic was I had realized that I didn’t have the talent to be a prima ballerina. It was getting harder and harder for me to keep up with the other girls, no matter how hard I worked. That’s a pretty sucky thing to find out after 11 years. [laughs] But it was also a blessing in disguise because that was the first time I felt like I stepped into adulthood. I realized, Okay, this is not going to work out. It was frustrating for about a year because I didn’t know what to do with the creativity and the discipline that dancing had instilled in me from a very young age. But then I moved to Paris to model, and that was my cultural awakening. Now, I think dancing has been the biggest thing in my life, much more so than modeling, and it still helps me enormously in my work.

BLANKS: Are you happy with the way things worked out?

KRUGER: Um, I have no choice. Yes, of course! I think I’ve been lucky! Of course, it’s always a fight to get better parts. I’m intrigued more and more by complex female characters because I’m more in touch with myself. I realize how screwed up or complex I am. And I’m flattered that, little by little, more and more directors want to meet me.

BLANKS: I always feel like an interview situation is a perfect opportunity for you to tell the world what it is you want to do. What kind of part would you ideally gravitate toward?

KRUGER: Toward either really screwball comedy, which I haven’t gotten to do a lot—though I get to do quite a bit in this movie—or toward really dramatic and complex roles. I would love to work with Darren Aronofsky.

BLANKS: The fact that you can dub yourself in three languages must make you a real director’s darling, surely.

KRUGER: They like that, yes—and I love it, too. It’s very gratifying because I know it’s my performance. I’ve been away from Germany for over half of my life yet I obviously have very deep German roots and speak fluent German. I’ve also lived in London and in Paris, so I feel very much at ease with those cultures. But I truly feel like I’m half American. I’ve lived in New York for years and years. So I think it helps certain characters to be more complex and deep because there is an international understanding of things.

BLANKS: So that’s how multilingualism builds character. What about clothing? You have a very interesting relationship with fashion.

KRUGER: Especially in period films, I think it helps you completely change the way you hold yourself, or even approach a character, for sure.

BLANKS: And then in real life, wearing Louis Vuitton or Chanel?

KRUGER: I feel the same way. Because I worked in fashion, I know that I like fashion. Haute couture is a form of art that I can appreciate. I’m definitely not someone who wakes up every day and thinks about what I’m going to wear, but on the red carpet, it’s reflective of the mood I’m in, or the movie I’m going to represent. I wouldn’t dress the same for the premiere of National Treasure [2004] as for the premiere of Inglourious Basterds.

BLANKS: And when you’re being fitted for your couture gown in a Parisian atelier, do you think about the little girl from Catholic school in a small town in Germany?

KRUGER: [laughs] Oh, trust me, I certainly do. Don’t think for one second that I don’t go through life thinking that.

I’m usually not a fan of super-red lips, but it works for her and the pale dress color. Keeping the hair tidy also balances out the heavy hem.

Karl Lagerfeld has done it again. The man of all trades photographed Diane Kruger for a spread in the January issue of German Amica. The editorial, titled “Lady D”, shows Kruger in sophosticated looks from Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, Prada and Lanvin. For some reason, the glamorous black and white photos make me want to live in Paris circa 1945.

Thanks to Fashionchips for the photos.

I hardly recognize her in the cover shot, but Diane Kruger looks pretty classy in Karl Lagerfeld’s Amica photoshoot. Check out the shoot after the jump.

The German magazine features the retro-style spread in their January 2009 issue.

Diane Kruger wore a Chloe Fall 2008 dress to the NYC premier of Filth and Wisdom, which she attended with longtime boyfriend Joshua Jackson. The navy dress has lace, ruffles and rosette detailing and she wore this dress with the same pointy booties as seen on the runway.

Thanks Fabulousness

Before

Diane Kruger’s stylist is definitely doing a good job. It was actually really hard to find photos before she had a stylist. Here she is wearing a stunning Dior Couture dress right off the Fall 08 runway. And again, a gorgeous white Grecian style dress. One of the best examples of a girl next door turned Hollywood sex kitten, Diane Kruger is a inspiration and a force to be reckoned with.
