With killer cheekbones, ice blue eyes and gorgeous blonde hair, Diane Kruger can work a thousand looks. And we've noticed that since she hit our screens in Helen Of Troy in 2000, Diane has shown that she can be a subtle chameleon queen, working effortless curls, neat updos and elegant hair accessories. Here are Diane Kruger's best hair moments...

How stunning is Diane's makeup here? And the cute hairstyle works so well, too.

Back to her golden blonde hue, Diane rocked a retro-inspired updo at the 2017 CDFA's. Brilliant.

We think this may be the best we have ever seen Ms. Kruger's locks. Short, sharp and sophisticated, she continues to dazzle in 2017 with bright blonde hair.

Diane proves that even if you have super short hair, you can still pull off a side-swept look with ease. She paired this style with a sharp navy suit - genius.

She's a big fan of curls, and we adore this 20s-inspired look which is finished off with another retro detail: a choker.

Bronde was made for Diane. It's not blonde, it's not brunette, it's just something (really pretty) in-between.

Woah - this style is incredibly intricate and pretty. We're guessing we'd need a friend to help create Diane's gorgeous plait-meets-ponytail.

Glossy boho waves to rival even Sienna Miller and Jennifer Aniston, Diane Kruger works a tousled ‘do and natural make-up at the 36th Annual People’s Choice Awards in LA.

Perfect retro Marcel waves and a deep centre parting suit Diane’s strong features – a tricky hairstyle for most of us to pull off. A strong-hold hairspray and some shine serum are essential.
This is so pretty it could almost be a wedding hairstyle. A deep side parting with a curled-under bun brings out the highlights in Diane's hair.

Totally on-trend, but thankfully lacking the fashion victim attitude, this long, half slicked back hairstyle is simple and sophisticated. The trick is to ensure the ends are smooth and in good condition and the top is slicked back with just a touch of serum – too much and it looks greasy.

Want a cute up-do but without the fusty prim and proper-ness? Take a leaf out of Diane’s book with this loose, easy up-do. The ends have been curled under and pinned, a few strands at the front have been teased out and hair from the crown twisted into a little ponytail and worked into the hair at the back – brilliant!

We're loving this luxe side ponytail: Diane works a deep side parting with the lengths lightly curled and then twisted into a low, side pony. The dark eyes and nude lips vamp-up what would otherwise be a daytime look.

A messy, loose up-do like this would just look wrong on the red carpet. But add a big, dramatic hair accessory that works with the couture gown and you have a hairstyle fit for an A-lister.

See how a centre parting can take centre stage? If you’re bored with your hair make like Diane at the Venice Film Festival and work a centre parting accentuated by taking the side sections of hair and tying back into ponytail.
Diane Kruger was debuting the braid trend way before anyone else! At the 45th Goldene Kamera Awards Ceremony in Berlin, DK worked her fringe and side sections into mini plaits and then into a curled ponytail at the back – gorgeous!

Now, all you ladies who despair at your thin hair, take heart. Diane Kruger doesn't have thick, voluminous hair but a good blow-dry, volumising mousse and some bouncy waves et voilá – glamorous, voluminous locks.

At the Screen Actors Guild Awards 2010, Diane goes for a more grown-up and sophisticated look with a low ponytail at the nape of the neck and a soft fringe. This would be super-boring if it wasn’t for the curls at the ends and the velvet red lippy – bravo!

OK, so maybe this is a little princess-y but Diane still pulls it off – and it was the Golden Globes, after all. The glossy ringlets don’t look too OTT thanks to the bold earrings and matching barrette.
Think ponytails are boring? Think again! A centre parting that shows off some rock ‘n' roll dark roots, a little texture and a twisted pony pulled to one side and you have one cool ‘do! Plus it totally works with the structured, sheer-panelled shift dress. Big fashion points to Kruger.

The perfect silver screen goddess look. Swept over hair with a little volume and sleek waves created by large barrelled tongs. The gold eye shadow and red lips perfect this classic Hollywood style.
With such strong features, scraped back hair could look too severe on Miss Kruger, but with the tousled tendrils at the sides and the rolled-up, soft bun at the back Diane keeps this style pretty and ultra-flattering.

Another award ceremony, another gorgeous red carpet hairstyle. This time Diane goes for a soft retro style with a bun that’s been curled under and into itself, then lightly mussed up for a bit of modern texture, finished off with a glam diamantée hair clip.
The perfect summer plait. Sun-lightened blonde locks and a twisted fishtail worn to one side. The detail we love the most? The little section of hair that’s tied around the base of the plait to hide the ponytail band – a true pro move!
