Diane von Furstenberg’s grand entrance to the West Coast was less of a glamorous strut and more of an unplanned faceplant, as the legendary fashion designer took a tumble in California—earning herself a gnarly black eye that even a pair of oversized sunglasses couldn’t hide.
DVF, ever the icon, took to Instagram to share her new look, posting two up-close shots of the shiner she received after an unexpected encounter with the pavement outside her daughter’s Los Angeles home. And let’s just say, the sidewalk did not hold back.
In her caption, Diane kept it real: “Does not look good for sure but grateful nothing more serious !!! I am owning it, applying lots of arnica gel and happy it was not worse !!” Translation? “Yes, I fell, yes, my face took the brunt of it, and yes, I am slathering myself in every healing ointment known to mankind.” She also added, “Owning it is the secret of survival!”—which honestly should be embroidered on a throw pillow.
Luckily, aside from the black eye that could rival a professional boxer’s, DVF seems to be in good shape. No broken bones, no bruised ego—just a little pavement couture.
Even singer Jewel chimed in with a relatable horror story, commenting, “You poor thing! I had a dog once jump up as I was going down to pet it—broke my orbital bone and gave me the worst black eye! But all you can do is own it! ❤️❤️🩹” Ah yes, nothing bonds people quite like unfortunate face injuries.
Sending healing vibes and an express delivery of concealer your way, DVF! Here’s hoping that bruise disappears faster than last season’s trends. Stay fabulous!
