Diane Kruger wore custom, bridal-white Givenchy to the NYC Ballet gala

Here are some photos from last night’s gala event for the New York City Ballet’s 75th Anniversary. Sarah Jessica Parker, a longtime supporter and patron of the NYC Ballet, was there with her husband Matthew Broderick. Interestingly enough, Diane Kruger also decided to come out for this event. Diane has attended NYC Ballet events in the past, but she’s not known as some kind of long-time supporter of the company. I find it fascinating that Diane made a point of stepping out with her partner/fiance (and father of her child) Norman Reedus this week, the week that Jodie Turner Smith filed for divorce from Joshua Jackson. I think she did it on purpose, that she was looking for a chance to send a signal that she and Norman are still together. Considering she’s given interviews for years now, taking swipes at Joshua, you can’t blame me for feeling like this was pointed. Diane wore a “bridal white” bespoke Givenchy to the gala. The sleeves are so bad, it looks like her arm is in a sling.

Here’s SJP and Matthew Broderick. Sarah Jessica always does tulle-intensive ballerina looks for NYC Ballet events. We don’t talk about that enough, that SJP is a theme-dresser. This dress is Carolina Herrera and she added a giant hair bow. I get what she was doing but this feels like mutton dressed as lamb. I know exactly how judgmental that sounds but I still say this look is way too “young.”

Molly Ringwald in Zac Posen! She looks great!

And finally, Justin Theroux in heels!

    Molly RIngwald really looks amazing. Not sure what else to say. Diane seems happy. They’ve been broken up for years.

    • Bee (not THAT Bee) says:

      Zac Posen is an underrated master of bespoke. His dresses always look amazing and are so well fitted! Molly looks fantastic and it’s great to see her out and about.

    • MoxyLady007 says:

      Did Diane steal Sophie Turner’s face? Also that dress is supremely unflattering. She’s a tiny human being. Why does it give her line backer shoulders. It’s bizarre.
      It does give 80’s dynasty vibes though.

  2. Lurker25 says:

    Why are SJP’s heels different colors?

    • Persephone says:

      Good question!
      She looks..umm..crazy.

    • SAS says:

      Frankly she is second to Kate for the amount I am CREEPED OUT by how much she seemingly lives as Carrie. Hate that I know this but one of her iconic pairs of shoes in the show were a mismatched colour pair of Manolos.

    • Tanguerita says:

      it’s an hommage to Carrie Bradshaw’s mismatched heels from an episode “escape from NY” in season 3 of “Sex and the city”. Because that’s SJP’s whole identity.

    • Lau says:

      At first I thought she had lost one ahah.

    • Kaye says:

      But at least this “pair” would last twice as long . . .

  3. HoofRat says:

    How does Molly Ringwald manage to make such an unforgiving fabric look so sleek. Just beautiful. SJP should have lost the bow, IMO.

  4. Kirsten says:

    Justin Theroux in a suit, all day, any day. I actually love Diane’s dress. SJP consistently wears clothes that don’t suit her.

    • Aurora says:

      I loved when she dyed her hair back to her og auburn and let it curl in the first SATC movie. It did highlight her beautiful eyes and fiery features. The straight-blonde mane does nothing for her complexion or her face.

  5. Ameerah M says:

    I LOVE Diane’s dress – even the sling sleeves lol. SJP looks twee as hell in that dress. It’s pretty but I’m kind of over this style of dressing on her.

  6. SAS says:

    I loveee the drama. Like old school Dynasty drag. So much cooler than SJPs twee nonsense. I can’t deal with Norman’s hair but his suit is gorgeous.

  7. Kitten says:

    Jesus Diane looks TERRIBLE. I don’t know if this outing has anything to do with JJ and Jodi but if it was, that’s petty AF. I don’t even mind SJP’s outfit. Is it young? Sure, but SJP DOES ten to wear quirky, fun outfits that we might associate with younger, less risk-averse people so this suits her style just fine.

  8. Mika says:

    Sjp nees to go back to curls. A bit of softness around her face, and wayyyy less bow, would have made this look much softer and more understated.

    • Fabiola says:

      SJP does look bette with curly hair

    • Jeanette says:

      I was thinking the same thing..down curly hair..no dumb bow..and same colored shoes and I would have been in love with this look.

    • Chrissy says:

      All I see is the Croydon Facelift and her daughter’s hair bow. Her husband still looks like Ferris Bueller to me.

  9. MF says:

    I actually love Diane’s dress except for the fact that the sleeves are too long. The rest of the dress is very precise; the sleeves look sloppy.

    I appreciate SJP as a fashion icon but I hate this look. It looks like something Ariana Grande would wear, and I mean that in a bad too. It’s way too girlish.

    Molly looks great. That color is brilliant on here! More redheads should wear pale green.

  10. Libra says:

    Satiny shiny fabrics have never pretended to hide a wee tummy bulge.

  11. tealily says:

    In the top photo, I actually find Diane’s dress interesting and thought you were being harsh. In the second photo, it is absolutely giving sling.

  12. girl_ninja says:

    Molly looks luminus and is just glowing. Diane has had a lot of misses in her red carpet looks of late. But she’s such a beauty. I really like Norman’s suit, if only he had just had it tailored to fit properly. I do like her dress but Sarah should leave that hair bow to Ariana Thumbelina Grande.

    • Sass says:

      @Girl_Ninja I’m so glad you said it bc I came here to say that SJP looks like she’s cosplaying Ariana.

      I actually like Diane’s dress, it’s not my personal style but on her it looks incredible. Molly looks beautiful.

  13. Barbara says:

    Nobody looks good in shiny satin/silk. That horrible dress makes Diane look like a linebacker. SJP would look better without the bow and girlish hairdo, maybe a low sleek bun or knot. Her shoes are cute but I wish she’d wear something less predictable. It’s always pointy toe spike heels or strappy sandals. The dress would have been cute with dressy boots.

    • Twin Falls says:

      Shiny satin does no woman any favors. I love seeing Molly Ringwald out and about and looking well, though.

      Diane seems to always being trying for fashion as art – I think she does it better than SJP who leans that same direction but more costume-y.

  14. Janie says:

    Diane could have stayed home in that awful dress, but yeah she seems petty and awful. Are they still in America? I was hoping they’d stay in France. Hopefully Joshua and Jodi co-parent well. That’s the important thing. I really like SJP’s dress. Lose the bow. Are those cutouts? Lose those and I would have loved it. Molly Ringwald’s dress not so much. A friend of mine loves Norman Reedus. If I didn’t know who he was I’d see him and mentally applaud his being upright. Matthew and Justin look much healthier. I believe Justin’s younger, but Matthew isn’t.

    • LoryD75 says:

      Diane has been to this event before and if the dress is bespoke, it was planned well in advance. I don’t think she’s just out to be petty. But the optics I guess say different.

  15. Flamingo says:

    I first thought SJP hair bow looked like Mickey Mouse ears and was like ewww. But then seeing it from the side and the long ribbons. I was like ooooooh now I get it. And thought it looked elevated and creative.

    I think Molly looks great, I am Gen X and I wanted to be Molly so much as a teenager. I would dye my hair red, and try to dress like her in the John Hughes movies. Try to find the same lipstick she wore in the Breakfast Club. She was the ‘it’ girl of our youth.

    I don’t love Diana’s dress looks like a wedding dress to me. Maybe she is trying to send a subliminal message to Norman to actually get down the aisle.

    • Flamingo says:

      To add, if anyone cares to know the lipstick Molly used in the Breakfast Club scene is Clinique Black Honey. I still wear it today, it’s iconic. I got so mad when it went viral on TikTok a year or two ago. It was sold out everywhere. Kids think they are discovering a new product. Those whipper snappers!

  16. Mireille says:

    Considering she’s given interviews for years now, taking swipes at Joshua, you can’t blame me for feeling like this was pointed. Diane wore a “bridal white” bespoke Givenchy to the gala..
    —And Joshua has never publicly spoke out against her or said anything about how the relationship ended. Diane is a beautiful woman but that dress is not a good look or fit for her. Too much fabric around the arms and Norman looks like he forgot to wake-up and bathe. He’s sleepy and she’s smiley. Also, I always get the sense that Diane is far more into him than he with her. I like Norman though. He’s been fighting zombies for over 10 years now. And when he’s clean cut, he’s gorgeous.

  17. HillaryIsAlwaysRight says:

    Diane K. is exhaustingly self centered and negative in every interview I’ve seen her give. I’m not surprised she would sh*t on her ex-boyfriend publicly, and he having been so supportive of her her on his social media after the split. Having said that, I think her coming out to an event the week Josh Jackson’s impending divorce was announced was a coincidence. She and Reedus would have been planning on attending this for a couple months ahead of time; she would have needed dress fittings, etc. These types of appearances are not planned on short notice.

  18. Pixiestyx says:

    It looks like Diane put her dress on backwards and got stuck in it. Molly Ringwald looks amazing!

    • SarahCS says:

      Yes! I was trying to figure out what was bugging me (aside from the arm sling) and in most of the pictures it definitely looks like that should be the back.

  19. blue says:

    Molly looks great. SJP’s bow & straight hair are the opposite of great.

  20. lamejudi says:

    I don’t love the harsh pulled back hair on SJP. but for me it’s the visible crease in the long ribbon that’s bad. Brings the look down to amateur hour.

  21. Satish More says:

    Was never a huge fan of SATC, and after Kim Cattrall went public with the literal YEARS of bullying that SJP inflicted on her, (even long after SATC concluded), that settled it for me!
    SJP is a jealous, malicious, vindictive HATER. I pity anyone who has to, for whatever reason, play nice with her.
    Oh, and look! She’s wearing two different colored shoes! SO “fashion”! 🙄
    Regarding Diane Kruger, the sleeves of her gown are awful. And her hair is really severe. From the neck up she reminds me of Tank Girl. IF she is flaunting her current intact relationship, then I’m not sure why she feels the need. Didn’t she cheat on JJ WITH Norman Reedus?
    Ah, Norman Reedus. You were such a hottie in the Boondock Saints! I remember when my bff got the DVD! We literally watched it over and over and over and over…………..what HAPPENED to you?? Hard living?? You look AWFUL. Get some sleep. SOMETHING.
    Also Norman’s suit is AWFUL. Velvet?? Yikes! I know it’s probably a black tie event, but his black tie looks terrible…

    • Rnot says:

      Norman Reedus is 54 years old. I think it’s a combo of natural aging and some hard living.

      • Bumblebee says:

        Uh, I know lots of 50+ year old men. His age is not the problem. I’m pretty sure it’s genetics.

      • Satish More says:

        Rnot & Bumblebee

        I think youre both right. I think its probably a combination of all three;

        Age, genetics, & def some hard living. He certainly seems to want to give the impression of hard living, anyway.

  22. Queen Meghan's Hand says:

    Gosh, Diane is so freaking desperate. Bridal white, really? What a miserable woman, obsessed with taking swipes at Joshua and Jodie since day one.
    Question: a friend told me she’s a high-key racist. Is that true???

    • KP says:

      Both her and Reedus got caught liking their co-stars Blue or All lives Matter (whatever one MAGA uses to mock BLM) post on IG (he later took it down). When called out on her insta-Diane doubled down with All lives matter post. Reedus has the sense to say nothing. Then a year later when unfortunately another terrible killing happened by Police she posted a Now I get it post with the picture of a little black girl.

      Reedus has his own issues. After the above incident with the first post; he made a point of during the pandemic of going out to a BLM protest with the paps in LA. Made sure to pull down the mask etc. He also has the stars and bars on his bike helmet. So you know.

      Some on Reddit did a whole NR is a creep thread. I think they might have taken the post down but the replies may be there.

      I take Reddit with a grain of salt but the picture of the helmet was there with him with it. Diane’s stuff was on ONTD if I remember.

      • Kitten says:

        The original tweets from Kruger were bad enough (“ALL LIVES MATTER IS NOT A SLOGAN! IT SIMPLY MEANS ALL LIVES MATTER!” and then @ing someone “Hey, all lives matter. Period.”) but for her to tweet after another senseless act of state-sanctioned violence against an innocent black person “I get it now” is just….whew. I don’t have the time nor the energy to get into how terrible she is.
        .
        Come to think of it, this hideous, unflattering dress is the one that she deserves.

        Reedus has always projected motorcycle dude to me, which makes me automatically think MAGA so I’m not surprised..

      • Satish More says:

        KP

        I did not know that about DK and NR!! How absolutely vile. Where was NR with his camera and the paps on 1/6??

        What a tool. Well, he certainly has the face he deserves.

      • Queen Meghan’s Hand says:

        Omg!!!! I am beyond appalled!
        It’s so much worse than I imagined.

        Well, karma is clearly doing her injectables….

  23. MsIam says:

    That bow on SJP is yikes! The dress isn’t bad but I think she needed to accessorize it differently, something more sophisticated than that bow. As for the rest, I don’t like the white dress at all, the beaded inset in the front looks cheap. Molly looks nice, I prefer a drapey satin over a stiff satin any day.

  24. tamsin says:

    Diane’s dress looked like someone just ripped out the front of the bodice and that piece over the left arm just looks extraneous, unless there is something about the design I can’t see. JSP’s dress is pretty, but that huge bow makes her look like she has Mickey Mouse ears on and I think she should have done something with her hair. If you’re going to wear a ballerina dress, perhaps go all the way and do ballerina hair.

    • Patricia says:

      There was some talk about Diane being a racist,so maybe that’s the attraction for Norman.He needs a haircut badly,a new style.He could wear extensions for WD.Don’t know if that could help change their inner ugly.

  25. Lens says:

    Has Diane ever been married? I wonder since that dress looks like a couture wedding dress – lately everyone is putting pearls on them. I don’t know if she’s clowning Joshua – didn’t they split in 2005? Hope she’s not dwelling on it that long. The only dress I like here is Molly’s and a lot of that is because she looks so good in it. I probably wouldn’t.

  26. Jennifer says:

    “And finally, Justin Theroux in heels!”

    LMAO

  27. Doris says:

    Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus look great and solid.

    Justin Theroux is so handsome in his tux.

  28. KP says:

    Hey Satish

    There was no reply in your post but the BLM pics hit all the pubs in 2020 like Daily mail etc. NR making sure to be there with his mask down looking at camera surrounded by protesters who think he is there to support them. Which maybe he was and changed his mind about the All Lives matter thing but a little sus given the fallout of the post liking.

    • Satish More says:

      KP

      “All Lives Matter” is 100% an attempt to skew & distort the REAL intentions of, and motivation for, BLM. You are absolutely right that ALM is sus. By countering BLM with ALM, ALM is making the erroneous insinuation that those involved in BLM don’t care about anyone else’s lives, and would happily watch non-POC get mass murdered. It is TOTAL BULLSHIT. After all, I fail to see what part of BLM states that other lives DON’T matter!
      I hope NR has opened his eyes since then, but I’m definitely not counting on it.

  29. Ann says:

    The dress and hair on Diane is awful, but she seems awful. I thought they were leaving New York for France. Was it the riots? Only Americans complain. I really like SJP’ s dress. If the top were plain I would love it. Matthew looks ten or fifteen years younger than Norman Reedus. Molly looks great, but I don’t love the dress. Diane’s face looks full or filled when she smiles, but whatever SJP does looks natural.

    • Haylie says:

      Lol, leaving America because of riots and moving to France…

      No one loves burning shit down more than Parisians who see their government parter with businesses to chip away at their employment benefits.

      Her problem is black people protedting. Full stop.

  30. LM says:

    From experience within close family: excessive alcohol consumption changes facial features in a fairly distinct way. Once you know, it’s super hard to unsee. I think it’s primarily the eyes, slightly squinty up top and with bags underneath.

    The ladies look lovely. I’m here for the satin and the bows. I love how satin feels (while not being too fond of how it looks on me).

  31. caris says:

    is Diane MAGA? She had an insta story about innocent until proven guilty when 45 was indicted. I immediately unfollowed but haven’t seen any other info about her politics.

    • KP says:

      When she was with Josh Jackson she would post progressive stuff. Though in all honesty she seems like one of those people who take on the views of their partners. I think she is a very beautiful women but I get the sense that she is not that curious about anything that does not involve her. As noted above she and Reedus liked a Blue Lives matter post so that may lean to yes for them.

      Didn’t she say something about NYC being dirty compared to Paris or something like that. Which given the current Bed bug issues there is kinda ironic.

      But back to the dress. I thought she looked fine but he looked miserable. Not a ballet fan I take it.

    • JustStop says:

      She’s not perfect, but she is quite loudly anti-MAGA on IG. She was there because she was on the planning committee for the event, not because of her ex, and the dress choice IMO is because of the beading. She trends toward styles with what this non-fashionista would call an almost a medieval element when she’s out with Norman.
