She arrives at the St. Regis Hotel dressed casually in white tee, jeans, Gabriela Hearst scarf and … silver Birkenstocks? Yes, actress Diane Lane is a Hollywood goddess in Gizehs, which she says she just learned were actually hip. She would have worn fancier footwear, she adds, but on this uncommonly warm fall Sunday in New York, there seems to be a street fair or parade on every other block, making cabs nearly impossible to find; walking shoes were the best costume for the day.
It’s hard to imagine her ruthless “House of Cards” character taking the same low-key attitude. Making her debut in the show’s final season as Annette Shepherd, half of a pair of wealthy DC siblings and an old frenemy of now-President Claire Underwood (Robin Wright), Lane seems capable of pirouetting on Frank’s (Kevin Spacey) grave in stilettos.
