"Personal style is best kind of style there is, and no one did personal style better than Diane Keaton. Her signature look was shirts and ties, snappy waistcoats and baggy trousers, an idiosyncratic version of menswear that was somehow both elegant and goofy. It was part Beau Brummell and part Charlie Chaplin. Borrowed from the boys does not do it justice; she made it entirely her own. The charm of her wardrobe was that it was exactly her."
"She was a world-class beauty who didn't lead with her looks. A quiet subversive who, in the most cookie-cutter of Hollywood eras, dodged the stamp of the machine and chose to live her life her own way. It was never about menswear as power dressing. With a sunny smile, she broke all the rules of celebrity dressing with the disarming sweetness and quiet intelligence that she brought to her screen personas."
Diane Keaton's signature look combined shirts, ties, snappy waistcoats and baggy trousers into an idiosyncratic menswear-inspired aesthetic that balanced elegance and goofiness. Influences ranged from Beau Brummell to Charlie Chaplin, but the result remained unmistakably her own, grounded in personal authenticity. Keaton projected quiet subversion and avoided centering her beauty, choosing individuality during a homogenized Hollywood era. Much of the Annie Hall wardrobe originated from Keaton's own clothes and thrift-store finds, and director intervention preserved her choices. Ralph Lauren supplied a blazer and tie but Keaton's personal sensibility defined the overall look.
