Actress Diane Kruger feels her modelling background allows her to experiment with fashion.
“I don’t have my own stylist. And I like to be a little different. Sure, I’ve worn dresses people didn’t like, but I enjoy the expression of clothes. What you wear is one of the only things about yourself you can manipulate,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Kruger as saying. “I think my background as a model helps, because I like experimenting and I’m not afraid of fashion or what other people think of me.”
Thursday night, the always stunning Diane attended the 2011 UNICEF Ball which was presented by Baccarat. Wearing a black sheer Emilio Pucci gown, Diane dazzled on the red carpet! Head over to the gallery for the latest additions.

Hello everyone!
Just a quick webmaster note, there will be no site updates for two weeks as I will be away. I want to thank everyone for your continued support of this site and look forward to bringing you all the latest Diane news and images when I get back!
Diane Kruger thought Calvin Klein bosses were “kidding” when they asked her to be the face of their Beauty fragrance.
The 35-year-old actress – who began her modelling career in Paris at the age of 15 – believed the public would adopt a, “Who does she think she is?” attitude if she fronted the brand.
She explained: “It’s very cool to be the face of a perfume, that’s a very flattering thing. When Calvin Klein asked me to be the face of a perfume called ‘Beauty’ I was like, ‘Who are you kidding?’ when they told me the name.
“I was thinking people are going to say, ‘Who does she think she is from Helen of Troy to ‘Beauty’?’ Then with all the work I’ve done for cosmetics companies too it becomes very global.”
The German-born beauty admitted she is pleased to now have more of a say in which campaigns she fronts, as she likes the idea of making products “accessible to all women over the world”.
Diane added to The Independent newspaper: “From my modelling days, I have relationships with all these people and it’s kind of a cool thing that I still do that as well. It’s better these days as I now have more of say in what I do and so I don’t sign with people that I don’t stand behind.
“I like the idea of accessibility, coming from a lower-middle-class background myself, I feel like beauty and products should be accessible to women all over the world.”
The official trailer for Diane’s latest film, Special Forces has been released. In the film, Diane plays a French journalist kidnapped by the kidnapped by the Taliban in Afghanistan. No US release date has yet been set.
In Special Forces Diane Kruger plays a French journalist kidnapped by the Taliban in Afghanistan. Shot in Tajikistan, the French-language role is another that displays the German-born star’s penchant for changing nationalities, accents and languages. Last time out, in the action thriller Unknown, the 35-year-old played a Bosnian taxi driver. Also on her increasingly illustrious CV are turns as a German actress spying for the British in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, and speaking German in the 2005 First World War hit Joyeux Noel She played a Chicago resident in Wicker Park and got her big break playing Helen opposite Brad Pitt in Troy.
“I always said that was my big dream as an actor, to be between two chairs,” she says about her jump from studio films to more independent fare. “I never wanted to be typecast as a nationality. This does have the result of consistently having to do more work for a role, to be able to speak without an accent in English, to be able to speak with all different kinds of accents playing other nationalities or when I speak in French or German.”
There is though, one accent the actress admits that she is afraid to try: “Scottish, oh my god, that would be hard.” She adds, in English that betrays no hint of her German roots: “It’s all a matter of rehearsal. You can learn any accent you want. It’s a fascinating thing.” Her skill with accents doesn’t extend to impressions, though. “I’m not a very good impersonator, my friends maybe, but not famous people. I can do Karl very well, Karl Lagerfeld, because he speaks the same in every language.”
She doesn’t give a rendition of her Lagerfeld, sadly but adds: “He’s like my stepfather, I love Karl. He’s the funniest person I know. He’s a big inspiration actually.”
Kruger got to know Lagerfeld after she began modelling in Paris, aged 15. Her move to the French capital as a teenager came after a tumultuous couple of years. Born in the tiny hamlet of Algermissen, near Hanover, her parents divorced when she was 13. Her father worked as a cinema projectionist and her mother in a bank. She stayed with her mother, pursuing a career in ballet, but after auditioning for the Royal Ballet in London an injury put paid to her dancing dreams.
“From my modelling days, I have relationships with all these people and it’s kind of a cool thing that I still do that as well. It’s better these days as I now have more of a say in what I do and so I don’t sign with people that I don’t stand behind… It’s very cool to be the face of a perfume, that’s a very flattering thing. When Calvin Klein asked me to be the face of a perfume called Beauty I was like, ‘who are you kidding?’ when they told me the name. I was thinking people are going to say, ‘who does she think she is from Helen of Troy to Beauty?’ Then with all the work I’ve done for cosmetics companies too it becomes very global.”
She prefers to work on campaigns for products that are aimed at the High Street: “I like the idea of accessibility, coming from a lower-middle-class background myself, I feel like beauty and products should be accessible to all women over the world.”
This seems to sum up Kruger. From afar and in magazines, she seems to belong to a high-end glamorous, unobtainable world, but she really is just one of the girls. (Source)
Horizons, a scifi tale taking place in a post-apocalyptic world, is having no trouble getting actors interested. Tom Cruise is already attached and Jessica Chastain of The Help has been cast, but there is still one other major part to be filled.
They need someone for the other female lead, and according to Deadline, it’s down to Hayley Atwell, Diane Kruger and Kate Beckinsale. Apparently the three headlining actresses will be reading this weekend, after which one will have to be chosen.
The three female contenders are: Hayley Atwell from Captain America: The First Avenger, Diane Kruger from Inglourious Basterds and Kate Beckinsale from Underworld. So in other words, all three actresses have impressive film credits.
The role to be filled is of a woman who crashes on earth and meets with Tom Cruise’s character. In this world people typically live in the clouds — as earth is no longer welcoming to life — and there ought to be some alien fun as well.
Director Joseph Kosinski is the originator of the idea for Horizons, previously titled Oblivion. He had it published first as a graphic novel, but with the hope that it would be made into a movie down the line when he was no longer caught up in other projects. (Source)
