Fashionista Faceoff: January Jones vs. Diane Kruger at the premiere of ‘Unknown’

fp_6781299_rij_unknown_31_60

Last night was the big premiere of Unknown in Hollywood. That’s the film starring Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger and January Jones, amongst others. It didn’t occur to me before now, but Diane and January are both trying to be big high-fashion girls. Both have contracts with big fashion houses, both will wear “difficult” dresses, both regularly make the best and worst dressed lists. So… let’s start with Diane and her barely covered biscuits. Her biscuits must have still been tingling after that fur-covered GQ shoot, because she’s coming dangerously close to Full Biscuit Reveal Code RED in this Dolce & Gabbana mini-dress. If it had just a few more inches, I would love it. As is, she’s making me really nervous. But I will say this… Diane was impeccably accessorized: Joshua Jackson is adorable.

Next up: January Jones in Alexander McQueen. I thought January looked like ten kinds of hell, and it wasn’t even the awkward McQueen dress. She just looked drawn and exhausted, and the hair looks like mine after I’ve been working out for an hour. Dirty, sweaty, unwashed, gross. But yeah, I don’t care for the dress. It seems like every ugly dress gets labeled “high fashion” these days.

Kim Kardashian in maternity wear, for some reason. If I was six months pregnant, I would adore this coat.

Lovely Liam Neeson. I’m not a huge fan of the scruffy facial hair, but Liam gets a pass. I still want to hug him.

Ooooh… Adian Quinn is in the movie too. God, I love him. I would do him even if he was wearing that funky necklace.

And RDJ! And Susan. They were at the premiere too. So cute.

    Diane’s dress is RI-DI-CU-LOUS! Is she going to head to the ice rink after the premiere?

  2. Cherry Rose says:

    Actually, I liked January’s dress much better than Diane’s. But you’re right, January’s hair is a f*cking mess.

    And Liam Neeson is one of my favorite actors. And it was nice seeing RDJ there.

  3. jen says:

    Icecapades!!

  4. EdithP says:

    Is yellow eyeshadow (January) ever a good idea? And it just looks like Diane forgot her pants.

  5. brin says:

    @devilgirl…lol, true!

  6. Melissa says:

    What was Kim K doing there? She can’t be in this movie right?!??

  7. Canuck says:

    Both dresses are awful, but Kruger’s looks like an expensive playsuit… NOT in a good way 🙁

  8. Roma says:

    Yellow/gold eyeshadow looks cute sometimes but never, and I mean never, photographs well. Bronze yes, light gold no.

    I get it – the stylist was trying to punk up her image to match the dress. Well, the dress sucks and the makeup sucks harder.

    Can simply anyone call themselves a stylist these days?

    I’ve made out with Joshua Jackson. I’ve mentioned it a bazillion times and I’ll keep mentioning until I die. Swoon.

  9. Praise St. Angie! says:

    and WHY was Kat-faced Kim there?

    I would have liked Kruger’s dress with a couple more inches, too, but it’s pretty.

    Jones’ dress is too much and it winds up looking a bit uggo. It would look much better without those button things and the flap. And not only is her hair terrible, her make up makes her look “flu-ish”.

  10. Stubbylove says:

    So agree – just want to hug Liam. Thank God for RDJ too – love that man! I don’t hate JJ’s hair or dress.

  11. Quest says:

    I like January’s dress, but not on her and not with that hair-do. I am not liking Diane’s dress, she does not have the legs to pull that one off – it looks like something is missing but a great come-back with her male-dong accessory.

    ITA with Melissa: Why is Kim even there?

  12. Kaye says:

    With that yellow eyeshadow, January Jones looks like she’s in end-stage liver failure.

  13. Arianna says:

    i fucking love kruger’s dress
    everything she is wearing ahhhh she’s just good at clothes.

    and RDJ and Susan i love them! and of course Liam

    but this yellow eyeshadow trend better die now..i’m boycotting that shit

  14. Green Is Good says:

    Best dressed at this premiere: Liam Neeson, Aidan Quinn and Robert Downey, Jr.

  15. Saskia says:

    I seriously think January Jones might be developmentally delayed. It would explain so, so much about her.

  16. sasa says:

    I adore January’s dress but her makeup is bad. Diane looks really awkward in that cut and lenght. Usualy she’s elegant but not this time.

  17. NancyMan says:

    I think that Kruger and Jones both got so caught in ‘fashion’ that they forgot to wear something that looked good on them. Also, I didn’t realize how unattractive really jacked up heels can be to woman’s legs and ankles.

  18. rkintn says:

    Kruger looked extremely uncomfortable in that dress. I didn’t really like JJ’s dress either,but at least she didn’t look like she was wishing she had worn something else.

  19. Solveig says:

    I like January Jone’s dress, but I don’t like her (in general) on it. I can see Angelina in a dress like that, if only she’d dare to wear something other than glitter-ugly sacks.
    Diane’s dress top half is cute, but it’s too short, even for a person who has nice legs, but who cares when there’s Joshua Jackson around?

  20. gobo says:

    Kruger’s dress is not only too short but also robs her of any waist. My main problem with Jones’ get up is the eye makeup, it makes her look quite mannish. She has such a delicate face that the makeup totally takes over.

  21. normades says:

    ugh, I take back what I said about Jan Jones looking good on the red carpet. She looks like hell warmed over here.

    RDJ wife is pretty tho

  22. anti says:

    diane’s dress is beautiful and suits her too. the first thing you notice on january is the lipstick, then the horrible dress. her hair also reminds me of the bad haircut i had in high school.

    not to pick on her more… but when she was being interviewed on the daily show, she was wearing a dress that she didn’t want to put her arms down (like a barbie). it looked painful and was awkward to watch.

  23. Laura says:

    Dianne’s “dress” seems more like a shirt and looks pretty inappropriate. I LOVE January’s dress, but that makeup is awful and f’s up her face. They should have picked a different eyeshadow and lipstick color for sure.

  24. mia girl says:

    Diane Kruger is so beautiful it hurts to look at her. Jan Jones… not so much.

    Best dressed of the night – RDJ! That vest and suit combo is awesome.

  25. Judy says:

    SO SICK of seeing women in dresses that look like tops and not dresses. That dress is so short it’s just stupid.

  26. kathug says:

    The worst part of January’s outfit is her make-up….horrendous!

  27. Oi says:

    Who in hell put that makeup on January? They must hate her. I’m gonna have to say no and no to these two.

  28. aenflex says:

    shit the makeup on jones is awful. she was on DS the other night in black mini and looked gorgeous. but kruger is vixen, she’s so hot it doesnt matter what she wears. i especially love this dress on her.

  29. whitedaisy says:

    @Roma

    details, please.

  30. poppy says:

    it isn’t sanitary to wear a dress that short. it looks like a leotard.

    the funky mcqueen didn’t need funked up makeup. she looks like a mouth breather on dialysis in the one shot.

    and who doesn’t love a candy necklace on a man?

  31. jenna says:

    I think January looks super funky and cool.

  32. dahlia1947 says:

    I love everything about January’s dress, except the two tone thing going on there! The skirt part is beautiful and I love the length of it!

  33. Gwen says:

    Ugh, I vote for RDJ and Liam.

  34. GeekChic says:

    I liked the top of Diane’s dress, but actually physically flinched when I scrolled down and saw the rest of it — or, rather, the lack of the rest of it. It looks like she’s wearing a napkin as a skirt. How in the world did she put this on and think it was a good thing to wear to a premiere? Good grief!

  35. gee says:

    I actually love Kim K’s coat!

  36. Chicoulina says:

    Wow!!Diane Kruger has amazing legs!!I would kill for those legs!!I don’t care about the dress,I was staring at her legs!She should always wear short dresses!

  37. WOM says:

    You have GOT to HGF Liam Neeson. He makes me feel all tingly. Down. There.

    January Jones’ dress was kinda cool. But Kruger needs to learn how to dress for the season. RDJ was wearing a jacket AND sweater, while Kruger wore a bedazzled doily. Brrrrr.

  38. Cleo says:

    I love January Jones. She has that secretly dangerous and disturbing thing in her eyes like Jennifer Garner and Paz de la Huerta.

  39. Cha Cha Loca says:

    Why is it January Jones and Christina Hendricks look so good on Mad Men and like shit everywhere else?! They seriously need a stylist.

  40. StraightfromA says:

    January Jones is waaaaaay too thin. Do DESIGNERS find it impossible to sew a dress above sample size or what?

  41. Roma says:

    @whitedaisy: My girlfriend worked on the Dawson’s Creek set for years and years. I partied kissed him on more than one occasion… swoon. It should be noted that he was a bit of a drinker back in the day and I may have taken advantage of him. And I’m okay with that.

    Sometimes I miss my whoreish ways.

    Random, low-med level Canadian actors and musicians? I have stories.

  42. jane16 says:

    I would love Krugers dress if it were longer.

  43. Dani says:

    January’s dress is wearing her and the makeup is too severe for her coloring. It overwhelms her features. She is a pretty woman. Just not liking this look on her.

    Diane’s dress sort of reminds me of a mother of the bride dress if it was knee length and you added a little bolero. Anyone else get that vibe?

    RDJ looks great here as do all the guys. I guess I just comment on him in light of how he turned his life around and so glad to see him looking so healthy.

  44. Henriette says:

    Diane needs some Crest Whitestrips to clean up that Smoker’s Smile.

  45. S says:

    DIANE. THOSE LEGS. KILL ME. Also, Kim’s coat is lush. I want!
    But oh, poor January. I hate it when I get my hair caught in the pool filter, too, so I know how she must be feeling.

  46. Katie says:

    That is the worst I have ever seen January Jones look. The hair and makeup are awful and the dress is ugly.

    I would KILL for Diane’s legs. And her boyfriend.

  47. Fire says:

    Oh man…I clicked on this story and started seeing the first pic as it downloaded….the top part looks awesome…and then…..there is no bottom! Seriously, very pretty but needs at least 4 or 5 inches. WAY TOO SHORT, especially with those skinny thighs of hers!

  48. Sheila says:

    What’s up with the gross yellow eyeshadow on January Jones. Ew

  49. Usually I don’t learn article on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very forced me to take a look at and do so! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, quite great post.
