Diane Kruger is having a red carpet moment. 

On Friday, the 44-year-old actress was back to work amid the pandemic, filming for her upcoming series Swimming With Sharks, where she was dressed to the nines for a mock red carpet scene. 

The Quibi x Lionsgate dramatic series, which is an adaptation of the 1994 George Huang film by the same name, also stars Kiernan Shipka and Donald Sutherland. 

Spotlight: Diane Kruger, 44, is ‘excited and grateful’ to be back to work on new show Swimming With Sharks as she and Kiernan Shipka, 20, are spotted filming a fake red carpet scene at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Friday evening

The German-born actress could be seen in a long black sequin gown as she walked the red carpet surrounded by crew and extras wearing face masks.  

The Bridge actress had her blonde locks tied back in a low glamorous bun and she sported a pair of black pumps. 

Keeping her accessories to a minimum, Diane’s character, Joyce, a female Hollywood studio head, wore a pair of drop earrings.

Filming on the Hollywood walk of fame outside the theatre, the Mad Men actress put her legs on display in a sequined gold mini dress. 

The plunging dress showed off Kiernan’s décolletage as she stood in a pair of matching gold metallic heels, with a pop of red lipstick for drama. 

For the scene Kiernan’s character had her blonde tresses tied back, as she made sure to keep herself protected with a pink face mask that she wore around her chin. 

Earlier in the evening, the budding starlet was filming another scene where she strutted down Hollywood Boulevard in an edgier display.

She kept her hair down and sported the same red lip as a camera crew on a dolly slowly followed behind her.

The short-form Quibi show will be under ten minutes an episode, and puts a female spin on the 1994 film that starred Frank Whaley and Kevin Spacey.  

This is the first major television role for Kruger since The Bridge, with Kiernan who shot to fame in Mad Men, currently playing the reprisal role of Sabrina in Netflix’s  Chilling Adventures of Sabrina which is a darker take on Sabrina The Teenage Witch.
