The Diane Kruger ‘[Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care) Germany’ photo spread has the model turned actress donning a series of [retro men’s suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25). Photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, Diane Kruger still manages to sizzle in front of the lens although her lithe figure is hidden away in three pieces suits.

I especially like the picture with her and the [tube of lipstick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) placed between her fingers like a cigarette, since it’s a play on the classic posters of that time (and as I support the lipstick habit over the smoking habit).
