Weekend Recap: Diane Kruger for Chanel and More

Diane Kruger will be the new face of Chanel's skin care line to be released later this year. The fashion brand selected Kruger because of her "natural elegance and beauty," and her "cosmopolitan spirit." But Kruger is no rookie when it comes to Chanel campaigns -- she first represented the brand's Allure perfume in 1996 and also appeared in ads for the Paris-Biarritz line in 2007. Source: StyleList

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a bill into law that bans children under 17 from using commercial tanning beds. This new law stemmed from the "Tanning Mom" case, in which a New Jersey woman allegedly sent her 5-year-old daughter in a tanning booth. It's a surprising move from the state that popularized "Gym, Tan, Laundry," but we're thrilled. Source: NY Post
