Actress Diane Kruger, otherwise known as our new favourite person on Instagram, has been sharing amazing behind-the-scene pics as she preps for one of the hottest nights in New York.

Diane, known for her roles in Troy and National Treasure, has described the annual event as “one of the best parties of the year”.

She started today posting a throwback pic to last year’s event, before treating us to a selection of pictures of her getting ready for tonight’s event.

Her beauty regime started with her nails being painted in a red hue courtesy of Chanel “of course”, said Diane on Instagram.

Then she moved on to prepping her blonde locks with help from one of the best in the business.

Diane, who is in the US/Mexican version of The Tunnel/The Bridge, posted the above shot of her getting ready with help from hairdresser extraordinaire Perrine Rougemont.

The actress, the long-term partner of The Affair’s Joshua Jackson, wrote on Instagram: “Secondly…have the best hair stylist in the world fly to NY just for you and do her magic! No one can beat Perrine Rougemont! We’ve been working together for 20 years (I wish this was a joke) and I trust her with my eyes closed.”

Don’t worry DK, we can’t believe it’s 20 years either.

In her third behind-the-scenes pic she simply said: “make a make-up mess!!”.

Of course we’re all analysing the picture for go-to product tips.

When Diane was off on her way to the ball, she teased us with a final shot showing her heart-shaped red bag clutched in those polished nails.
