She was a shimmering sight on Monday.

Diane Kruger glistened in a glamorous gold gown as she attended the InStyle Awards at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California.

The 39-year-old actress and all-around fashionista wore an ornate metallic midi dress detailed with cut-outs on the shoulders and waist.

The unique long-sleeved garment also featured a sheer thigh-high-slit skirt, as the rest of the bodice was subtly striped.

The top layer of the showstopping number was embroidered with a royal floral pattern.

Diane was also sporting fun strappy red and gold stiletto heals, and styled her golden locks in soft curls while pampering with a soft palette of make-up.

The Bridge star completed her look with a petite white and gold rectangular clutch.

While Diane may come across as confident, she recently revealed she had a hard time accepting her body as she was growing up.

Speaking to Italian magazine IO Donna, she said: 'When I was younger, being beautiful meant being skinny; I was a model, so you can imagine how hard it was to stay in shape.

'But when I turned 30, I realised how stupid I was for believing that. I think you're beautiful when you're smart and beauty is something you need to achieve.'

And Diane admitted it's her partner Joshua Jackson, 37, who keeps her self esteem up.

Asked when she feels beautiful, she revealed: 'When the person I love tells me, "I love you". I'm not joking, it's true.'

Meanwhile, Joshua - who is currently starring in The Affair with British actress Ruth Wilson - joked about his new role and the impact it had on his relationship with Diane.

He joked to hosts on the Today show that they don't watch the series together, the storyline of which revolves around cheating partners, as it could lead to 'awkward conversations.'
