A trend refusing to die down is the ever-so-popular “rock chic“. Anything black, studded, buckled or wired fits perfectly into this category. Like these studded caged heels by Emilio Pucci for example. They might seem a little plain on their own, but look how amazing they look on Diane Kruger who paired them with a sexy white Hervé Léger number. Yummy!

If you’re not in a rockband and plan to wear these statement heels out every day, but still crave some Rock ‘n Roll on your feet, why not consider these budget-friendly heels by Promise? Apart from the price tag they’re practically twins. One major difference is that these are rhinestoned and not studded, but who doesn’t love a bit of bling? Available in a plethora of colors including black, gold, silver, white, yellow and fuchsia.

Let the sun shine! That’s exactly what Diane Kruger did 10 months ago at the Berlin photocall for Inglourious Basterds. Her itsy bitsy (that’s my speak for super short) dress by Louis Vuitton featured sailor-like buttons, side pockets and a bow across the chest which playfully complimented the color and cut. Though her outfit was accessorized with earrings, a watch and open toe shoes, they were all subdued to allow the dress to shine, almost literally, on its own.

Perhaps you’re not into the gladiator trend, but still like your sandals strappy? Then look no further! Chloé updated the the look by adding a small wedge and the overall effect is more relaxed and less Roman. The only problem is, they’re sold out. Fret not, fashion lovers…

Diane Kruger always looks amazing. She is one of my very favorite celebs-with-style, because she takes risks, but never takes a look to far. She knows how to push the sartorial envelope and still look sensational instead of like the clothes are wearing her. And the photo below is a fine example. Her LBD is no simple shift, but see how her spiked Louboutins cut the sweetness of that sweetheart neckline and ruffles? That is fashion brilliance.

Lipsy Chain Belt Velvet Cocktail Dress
You can recreate Diane’s look with the Lipsy Chain Belt Velvet Cocktail Dress—for less than $100, mind you. The Lipsy dress has all the details of the Balmain frock…sweetheart neckline, ruffles, chain belt…and at that price, why not give it a go?

Lovely People “Aziza” Studded Pumps
OK, we all die for those spiky Lous. They are almost unrivaled in their creativity and wow-factor. But since a pair of Louboutins is about the cost of a mortgage payment, maybe consider these Lovely People “Aziza” Studded Pumps instead. There are no spikes, but the hardware ensures this pair has the same maybe-I’m-a-good-girl-maybe-I’m-not feeling.

Diane Kruger is one of my absolute red carpet favorites. She’s always so flawless and on-point when attending public events. You’ll never catch her wearing some boring black dress or follow a trend blindly. She has impeccable taste and this reflects in her red carpet outings. Case in point: Diane wearing a black velvet jumpsuit (in fact, it’s a combination of matching blouse + pants, but it looks like a one-piece to me). Isn’t it just gorgeous on her? It’s not easy to pull off a velvet jumpsuit, but Diane masters it perfectly.

If you’re still looking for a holiday outfit and don’t want to wear what everyone else is going to wear, why don’t you opt for Diane’s look instead? I like that ASOS’ version is more snug and doesn’t have the exaggerated hips which can be quite hard to carry off if you’re not a runway model. Add a studded belt, statement shoes or a bright clutch to make your outfit pop and prevent it from looking dull. Also available in teal.

The colorblock tube dress below was one of my favorite pieces from Alexander Wang‘s Spring 2009 collection, but at one point the dress became so popular that I was sick of seeing it every second day on the red carpet. Now that the overexposure has stopped, my love returned, but unfortunately the dress has sold out since. Not that I could’ve afforded it when it was still available.

When I was younger I used to have a phase when I would refuse to wear anything else than jeans and a graphic tee. I remember how I thought I was so fab back then. Now that I’m older I fortunately am over that phase, but every once in a while I see my past obsession for graphic t-shirts rekindle. But who wouldn’t want to own the cute Lanvin bow tank below anyway?

Alice + Olivia Painted Face and Bow Tee
Alice + Olivia is usually not a brand associated with knockoffs, but the printed t-shirt below with the big black bow is obviously the original brainchild of Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz. I don’t know how I feel about upscale knockoffs to be honest. Take this tee for example: it’s not exactly a steal at $198. And it ain’t the real Lanvin either. If you’re willing to shell out almost $200 of your hard-earned money, do you want to run around in what’s just an expensive copy in the end? Knowing that for an additional $100 you could’ve owned the original? I don’t think so. However, if you’re not able to track the Lanvin down, you may be excused to go for this look-a-like.

Lindsay Lohan is a dedicated fan of Alexander Wang and has worn his designs several times. She was recently papped with Lily Allen at Chateau Marmont in LA wearing another Alexander Wang number from his awesome Spring 20009 collection. LiLo paired the colorblock dress with black tights, black patent booties and a black jacket.
Diane Kruger however is more of a Valentino and Valli girl, so imagine my surprise when I saw her wearing the same dress as Lindsay when she attended The Glamour Project Art Exhibit last month. Diane also opted for opaque tights and matching black heels to go with the strapless dress.
Although I do love, love Diane Kruger and her style, I can’t lose the feeling that the dress suits Lindsay better. Diane is and will always be a couture girl for me. She can work couture any time, but for some reason Diane seems to struggle when it comes to short and sexy dresses.
