The dress stands out because of its unique keyhole cutouts, and the print is subtle and pretty enough to wear to prom.
Diane Kruger wore a grey and lemon halterneck dress which works in the recent color blocking trend. She decided to make her look stand out further by pairing the dress with a bright pink lipstick and a matching pink clutch bag, which works really well and gives the elegant dress a modern update too – this is another idea that you could easily apply to a prom outfit.
