The 40-year-old actress and former model definitely saved her best look for last, as she sashayed down the red carpet in a custom Jonathan Simkhai creation. Accompanied by director Fatih Akin, Diane navigated the iconic steps of the Palais des Festivals in her floor-length gown, which featured an off-the-shoulder design, puffed sleeves with ruched detailing and a short train detail. She styled it with side-swept waves, minimal makeup and a metallic silver clutch.

A stunning assortment of Chopard jewels, which include a gorgeous diamond necklace, provided the finishing touches to her winning look.
