Diane Kruger matched her outfit to the TV series she was promoting as she attended the premiere for Merteuil in Paris on Wednesday night.
The actress, 49, is returning to French screens for the HBO show which is titled The Seduction in all other countries.
Diane paid homage to 18th century France, in which the drama is set, in her white lace minidress which had a frilly neckline and structured skirt.
She teamed the look with black pop socks and heels as she posed for photos on the pink carpet with the rest of the cast.
This new series, which will be released on HBO on Friday, sees the actress play Madame De Rosemonde, a prominent figure in the French elite.
Set in 18th-century France, during the time of the Ancien Régime, the plot revolves around the schemes of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont (Vincent Lacoste).

It is a prequel to Dangerous Liaisons and follows the rise to power of the young Isabelle de Merteuil, played by Anamaria Vartolomei.
The synopsis reads: ‘To be the hero of your own story, you sometimes have to be the villain in others.
‘Marquise de Merteuil embarks on a daring journey to become Paris’ leading courtesan.’
Diane, who is German, is fluent in French. The last time she stared in a French film was Farewell, My Queen back in 2012.
The actress said she found it quite a challenge filming The Seduction because the language was historic to reflect the era in which it was set.
She told Tech Radar: ‘It was a hard muscle to flex because it’s old French.
‘I don’t know if you pick up on that if you don’t speak the language, but it was not easy.
‘I mean, I barely speak French, but this type of French is impossible, and my biggest preparation was just to be able to say it.

‘There was a lot of putting a pen in your mouth, and you have to talk like that and try to get your muscles relaxed enough to say things.
‘And because it’s a TV show, there’s a lot of rewrites constantly… so you couldn’t learn it beforehand. I was struggling, but I love it.’
Diane acting credits include war film Troy and National Treasure, which were both released in 2004.
