The snapshot was taken 23 years ago before Diane discovered fame in the acting and fashion world.

'This is me at 15, winning the "Look of the Year modeling award in Germany"...HOW you might ask ? I really don't know,' she wrote.

'Maybe that year baby face with too much make up and crooked teeth was in style? Maybe they were playing a cruel joke on me ?? 

'Whoever picked me...thanks for the Vespa I won and the life that opened up to me !!!! All you awkward looking girls out there !!!! SOMEONE thinks you're pretty !!!'
