Beautifully worded.I swooned.
The dress is like a sugary confection, the color of cake icing or cotton candy. I wanted to eat it all up. Plus, the neckline was reminiscent of an abstract rose. In the sea of beiges and blacks, that pink popped THE most. You can always count on Lacroix to bring on the color.
Someone I know described it as an orchid. In fact, I know that Lacroix based that dressed on a pink orchid, for sure. I definitely don't see the 'tacky 80s prom' comparisons'. I mean Lacroix is called prom dress-material and not the boring array of pageant gowns by J. Mendel, Marchesa, Monique Lhullier, Elie Saab and all of those other boring designers? The horror.

I know; it's like comparing Monet to Thomas Kinkade. The horror.I mean Lacroix is called prom dress-material and not the boring array of pageant gowns by J. Mendel, Marchesa, Monique Lhullier, Elie Saab and all of those other boring designers? The horror.
Oh I was just making a hyperbolic assumption.Where'd you read that?

You can glimpse the back in these pictures, looks really interesting:
she did it herself?Diane said she did her own makeup and hair.



^I did enjoy all the men holding umbrellas for their wives/girlfriends though. I guess chivalry isn't dead after all.
she did it herself?
wow she's got the guts and is very capable since this is the result.
so from top to toe it's free choice, a rare one nowadays.![]()
Diane and Josh are def the new King & Queen of the red carpet.
Also, during the show, I remember noticing the camera panning to them a lot of times.
LOL I remember Josh laughing his **** off at Gervais' "Angelina Jolie" joke.

Next stop - SAG Awards on Saturday. I don't think she can top the Lacroix dress, but evidently, a lot of people disagree. I thought people would be swooning on this thread!
Yeah well in the Aug/Sept/or Oct issue of UK Glamour there was a mini interview with her hairdresser and he explained what he did to her hair for each of her IB premiere's and Cannes. There was a pic of them together too so he wasn't lying. I don't think she does her own hair all the time like she makes out.
