Vogue World took center stage in Hollywood this past weekend to honor some of showtime’s greatest legends with a grand runway show at the Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, CA. Amid the event, a heartfelt tribute was paid to the late Diane Keaton, whose untimely passing over the past two weeks has left the world in mourning. There was no more fitting place to celebrate her iconic style than in the heart of Hollywood itself.
Model Betsy Gaghan was specially chosen to embody Diane Keaton, walking the runway dressed in a Ralph Lauren recreation of the actress’s legendary “Annie Hall” look. For the show, Gaghan wore a white button-down shirt paired with oversized khaki pants and a polka dot tie around her neck. This was layered beneath a dark suit vest, with a single button fastened. As she moved down the runway, her starry-eyed gaze channeled the spirit of Annie Hall herself. The outfit was completed with a wide-brimmed hat and a raffia tote bag, with a tennis racket playfully poking out from inside.
Ralph Lauren is often credited with creating Keaton’s on-screen wardrobe, though the designer himself is quick to clarify that the style was truly Diane’s own. In Keaton’s book *Fashion First*, Lauren wrote, “I’m often credited with dressing Diane in her Oscar-winning role in ‘Annie Hall.’ That’s not true. Annie’s style was Diane’s style.”
A look through Keaton’s wardrobe throughout her life supports this assertion — her personal style heavily influenced not only “Annie Hall” but many of her other on-screen personas as well. Keaton was a true style icon whose wardrobe permeated almost everything she touched.
Director Woody Allen recognized this unique fashion genius and asked Keaton to dress herself for “Annie Hall.” However, The Hollywood Reporter notes this creative freedom sometimes caused friction with Costume Director Ruth Morley, who “initially envisioned a character who wasn’t so fully formed from a style perspective.”
In an interview with *People Magazine* last summer, Diane Keaton credited her mother for fostering her creativity through fashion, saying, “She was my biggest supporter and manifester of my creativity.”
Bringing the tribute full circle in a true “life imitating art imitating life” moment on the Vogue World stage, Keaton also shared, “Later in life, my inspiration came from countless hours of cutting and pasting my way through magazines like *Vogue Magazine*.”
Through this celebration, Diane Keaton’s enduring influence on fashion and film was beautifully honored — a testament to her timeless style and creative spirit.
