Diane Kruger lights up the Champs-Elysees in an opulent Lanvin dress with milkmaid braids

Diane Kruger opted for a gold gown as she turned on the Christmas lights in Paris

Diane Kruger proved her fashion powers once again last night as she switched on the Christmas lights along the Champs-Elysees in Paris in a brocade dress by Lanvin.

The model-turned-actress glowed in a burnt gold A-line shaped number but added a new edge with a brass tiger belt worked with Brian Atwood, over-the-knee boots.

DIANE KRUGER HITS LOUIS VUITTON PARTY

As Diane flicked the festive switch she kept off the chill with a black roll neck worn under her dress, once again nailing effortless glamour. To add new direction to her look, the 36-year-old wore her hair in pretty milkmaid-style braids - a look we'll all want to copy this party season!

She kept her make-up simple with a gloss over her lips and a few false eyelashes to frame her piercing blue peepers. While her boyfriend Joshua Jackson failed to make an appearance, Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe was by the star’s side.

The lights were a pretty affair and wrapped around the trees that line the famous avenue, and it seemed to receive Diane’s approval as she smiled throughout the event and appeared delighted to be there.

And this won’t be all we’ll be seeing of the star, she’s nabbed the lead role in new American TV series, The Bridge, which will air next year.
