In the tradition of Marie Claire France, the holiday season will be golden or it won't be at all. I find the veiled effect quite annoying, but since it's not going anywhere, I have learned to live with it. Diane nails yet another cover (and editorial) because she is from another planet, but I prefer her colder, edgier side.
"Grand froid" is lovely. Intentionally awkward, deceptively naïve, so meta. Outstanding styling too.
