She started her career as a model before venturing into the acting world ten years ago.

So it is no surprise Olga Kurylenko managed to work the red carpet with ease as she attended the closing ceremony of the 65th Berlin International Film Festival over the weekend.

The 35-year-old looked stunning in a black crepe back cutaway bustier gown which featured a white pleated chiffon underskirt.

Olga clearly enjoyed her time at the glamorous bash as she shared a picture with followers on Instagram captioned: ‘Dinner after the closing ceremony of #Berlinale I had a great time!’

Prior to the film festival, Olga had been busy promoting her new film, Russell Crowe's directorial debut The Water Diviner and she said she was 'worried' ahead of shooting with the first time director and Hollywood star.

'I was thinking, 'Oh my God, it's the first time he is directing, he's never directed before,' she told News Corp. 'I was worried, but there was nothing to worry about. Nothing.'

In fact the Bond girl says the Oscar winner, 50, was discerningly quick in his directorial approach, often capturing a scene in just two takes.

Olga plays Crowe's lover Ayshe, in the historical World War I drama that centres around a father, played by Crowe, who journeys to Turkey to discover the fate of his three sons who went missing during the Battle of Gallipoli.

The graphic battle field flashbacks are not for the faint-hearted with scenes depicting maimed soldiers in the trenches crying for their mothers and salvation.

Crowe has previously spoken of his casting decisions, saying he picked Olga, who is best known for her role in 2008's Quantum Of Solace, because she was from a 'like-minded tribe'.

Audrey Tautou prepares to kick off Cannes Film Festival as mistress of ceremonies

Audrey Tautou keeps it low key in pretty floral dress as she prepares to kick off Cannes Film Festival as mistress of ceremonies

She is famously not keen on being in the spotlight, but Audrey Tautou was the centre of attention on Tuesday.

The French actress looked picture perfect in a rather low key outfit as she began her duties as mistress of ceremonies at the Cannes Film Festival.

The 36-year-old did her best to appear plain, but even in a relatively simple dress her natural beauty shone through. 

Low key: Mistress of ceremonies, French actress Audrey Tautou poses for photographs on the eve of the 66th annual Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France on Tuesday

Pretty woman: Audrey's natural beauty shone through even though she chose to not go glamorous to the photocall in a floral dress

The beautiful brunette looked amazing in her white dress which was covered in a small daisy flower print.

With her pixie-like cropped hair contrasting well against her pale skin tone, the Amelie actress walked down the red carpet with class and grace.

Her diminutive frame was heightened slightly by her nude colour heels as she took centre stage in front of a large number of photographers.

Star power: The mistress of ceremonies will open and close the ceremony, despite not liking the spotlight

Stepping out: Audrey has a tough act to follow as last year's mistress of ceremonies was star of The Artist, Bérénice Béjo

Audrey's role at Wednesday's night's opening ceremony will require her to put on the glitz and set aside self-effacement as she welcomes some of the biggest names in the industry, from Steven Spielberg to Nicole Kidman.

She will again have to be centre of attention when she officially closes the ceremony on 26 May.

Just in: Actress Julianne Moore was seen on the balcony of her suite at Hotel Martinez in Cannes on Monday

Blending in: Julianne looked like a local as she walked around town without being noticed

Prepared: The Carlton Intercontinental already has Great Gatsby and After Earth poster hanging from the outside

Jurassic Park director Spielberg will serve as the president of this year's jury, and Palme d’Or winner Jane Campion will preside over the short film jury. 

No doubt one of the biggest and most anticipated films at this year's competition is Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, which will see heavyweight names such Leo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire pass through.

Being surrounded by such big movie stars and having the glare of the movie industry on her may be awkward for the shy Audrey.

A big deal: Lana Del Rey was surrounded by fans as she tried to exit Nice Airport on Tuesday

Soon to be star-studded: The Palais du Festival will become a hub of A-listers and industry execs in just a few days

Amelie, in which a quirky Montmartre waitress played by Tautou decides to dedicate herself to helping others, took over $173 million worldwide and remains the highest-grossing French-language film ever released in the US.

One recent interviewer, Isabelle Girard, concluded that although famous everywhere from 'Hollywood to Kyrgyzstan', Tautou was a shrinking violet who took pleasure in making herself appear invisible.

After her role as mistress of ceremonies is over all eyes are certain to be on her once again as her latest film L'Ecume des Jours about a woman whose illness can only be treated surrounded by flowers has just been released in France to rave reviews.

Some celebrities that have already touched down in Cannes are Julianne Moore, Emma Watson and Lana Del Rey.
