Just no.

Yeah, no. Too messy.

Except for the last outfit all her candids looks have been on point lately. Reminds me of her old style, effortless with a refreshing european flair.

Suzy Menkes: Nature Takes Geometric Wing

Suzy Menkes, Vogue international editor, says H Stern and Diane Kruger give butterflies an edge.

For jewellery, I like the idea of nature hot and strong - especially during the burning summer months.

Brazil is always hot - in colour and in spirit. So H Stern, the international jewellery house with roots in Rio, has made its new collection glow. Butterflies and birds, moulded from rose gold and set with cognac-coloured diamonds, create a fierce vision of natural creatures.

Link them to the pale, princess beauty of film star Diane Kruger and you have an intriguing meld of raw and refined.

I saw the jewels first - not on the actress nor in the midsummer fields where she was photographed - but close up on display. The effect of the pink-tinged, pavé-set diamonds on a rose-gold framework has inspired the jeweller to define the collection as a "punk rock" look.

I am not convinced that these jewels "rock". That makes the effect sound urban and tough, while I would see it more as nature showing its true colours. It is not quite "red in tooth and claw". But the butterflies especially - for example on a deep cuff - are geometrically curved rather than suggesting a delicate flutter.

Making the wings graphic, for birds or butterflies, gives a harder, modern edge to a familar jewellery design. Add other stones such as morganite and smoky quartz, and there is a fiery quality to this vision of nature.

The most dramatic piece is a smoky quartz necklace decorated with birds, butterflies and a bee at the nape of the neck. This bold design gives a sense of nature's abundance. But there is also a chillier feel to birds winging away at the onset of winter - interpreted by their wings being reduced to abstract geometric objects.

Where does Diane Kruger fit into this vision? In her role as filmstar spy in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, the actress - formerly a model and ballet dancer - showed her tougher side. And even her version of Marie Antoinette in the French film Les Adieux à la Reine was not the usual Versailles frippery.

So jewels with a tough, modern edge seem just the thing when designer and managing director Roberto Stern decided to give a hard edge to his rocks.

That is a bad mix..

 

[Wolkfolk]

I need an explanation for the hat...

 

[kokobombon]

I actually like this outfit for the only reason that she´s going to the gym... so what if the items don´t match? it doesn´t look like a thought outfit, as if the grab what she had in hand and went out the door... you know, like normal people sometimes do?

 

[gossiping]

i love that she doesn't care, styles herself for the day, she always looks natural never overdone!

 

[girlyevil]

I think it was in InStyle where she said she loves hats because she has a lot of bad hair days.

Unfortunately this means she wears too many ugly fedoras.
