Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson are one stylish duo.

Kruger, a former model and new face of the Calvin Klein perfume Beauty, has become one to watch for her effortlessly chic ensemble choices on and off the red crapet. And Jackson, a perfect compliment to her fashionable sense, certainly holds his own by often demonstrating how a man can dress with a classic yet modern sensability. This stylish couple reign supreme on how to jetset in style. Hope your taking notes, both ladies and gentlemen.

Whether its for your wardrobe or your interior, you can never wrong with a certain bit of je ne sais quoi.
