Diane Kruger In A Sheer Dress: Chic Or Shriek?

The German-born actress attended the Sidaction Gala Dinner in Paris on Thursday night, posing in an eye-catching dress made of icy blue tulle.The cut, with conservative three-quarter sleeves and a high, rounded neckline, was plain enough; the lining beneath her floor-length skirt, however, stopped at the top of the thigh, leaving her legs exposed beneath the completely sheer skirt.

In the days following the attacks, the strippers were roundly condemned--all the way from State House to the streets and even on holy ground. Fifteen suspects are reportedly up against the law in Lilongwe and the drums of war were being beaten by clergymen at rallies and women's rights organisations.
