While the German beauty's co-stars are fetching actors in their own right, Diane stole the fashion show with her daring red leather standout - demonstrating just why she's such a high-in-demand performer in Hollywood.
Before Diane's rise to fame as an actress she studied ballet at the Royal Ballet in London before an injury ended her career.
She then moved onto professional modeling in Germany until she transplanted to Paris to pursue both the French language and acting.
