She turned men\u2019s tailoring into something playful, smart, and strangely tender. Her style was a mix of grace and awkwardness that made sense only on her frame. She was, as The Guardian put it, \u201ca quiet subversive,\u201d someone who ducked the Hollywood machine and walked her own path.<\/p>\n<p>When she played Annie Hall, Keaton did not need a stylist. Most of the film\u2019s wardrobe came straight from her closet. \u201cI look back on Annie Hall and can\u2019t talk about that movie without talking about the fashion. It was everything to me. I loved being able to dress like myself,\u201d she once said, reports The Guardian.<\/p>\n<p>Even Woody Allen saw it, as per the outlet. He reportedly told the costume team, \u201cLeave her. She\u2019s a genius. Let her wear what she wants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also read: Diane Keaton cause of death: How did Godfather, Annie Hall star die? Health &#8216;declined very suddenly&#8217;<\/p>\n<h2>Diane Keaton wore confidence like an accessory<\/h2>\n<p>Keaton\u2019s style, The Guardian noted, was not about power dressing or chasing trends; it was about comfort and even privacy. In her 2024 book Fashion First, Keaton wrote that men\u2019s clothing gave her \u201ca kind of armor,\u201d oversized coats, she said, were her \u201cballgowns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She wore tartan shirts on red carpets and mismatched socks to premieres. Critics sometimes mocked it, but she never cared. From pinstripe suits to bowler hats, she treated dressing as performance art. Ralph Lauren once clarified in Fashion First: \u201cI am often credited with dressing Diane in her Oscar-winning role as Annie Hall. Not so. Annie\u2019s style was Diane\u2019s style.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her influence still lingers. You can see traces of it in every woman who pairs a tailored blazer with sneakers or turns up to a gala in trousers. Like Cary Grant or Fred Astaire, she made structure look free.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\n<h2>How old was Diane Keaton when she died?<\/h2>\n<p>She was 79.<\/p>\n<h2>What was Diane Keaton\u2019s most iconic fashion look?<\/h2>\n<p>Her Annie Hall menswear &#8211; vests, wide trousers, and ties &#8211; became legendary.<\/p>\n<h2>What did Ralph Lauren say about her style?<\/h2>\n<p>He wrote that \u201cAnnie\u2019s style was Diane\u2019s style,\u201d crediting her originality.<\/p>\n<h2>What was Diane Keaton\u2019s approach to fashion?<\/h2>\n<p>She used clothes as self-expression, turning men\u2019s tailoring into something deeply personal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran actor Diane Keaton died on Saturday at 79, People first reported.
