The Oscar winning actress looked stunning in the floor-length number as she worked the crowds in Berlin, despite the heavy rain.  

Scottish star Tilda received a Golden Bear for lifetime achievement during Wednesday’s opening gala, and made an impᴀssioned speech on stage.

Without ever using the words Gaza or Palestinian, Tilda gave her speech in support of ‘the great independent state of cinema,’ and what she called ‘an unlimited realm, innately inclusive, immune to efforts of occupation, colonization, takeover, ownership or the development of Riviera property.’ 

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Tilda also told the festival crowd: ‘Here’s one of the best things that can happen to young person curious about the world and how to live a life in it.’

‘They can find themselves here at the Berlinale. When I first came to this festival, I was 25 and looking for my life, looking for the world and signs of human life there, how I might take my place among it, on the hunt for amazement, for solidarity and connection, and I can say I found it all right here in one fell swoop.’ 

Tilda has been a regular at the Berlin Film Festival for 30 years, with 26 of her movies screened there, whilst she served as president of its jury in 2009. 

Toni has also been a long-time supporter of the festival. The German model rose to prominence in the fashion industry after signing an exclusive contract with Calvin Klein in 2008, having made her debut for the designer in their Spring/Summer 2008 runway show in New York at the age of 15.

She went on to feature in their advertising campaign before walking again exclusively for the brand the following year.

She ranked in 20th place in the Top 50 Models Women list on international modelling site models.com in 2012.

The fashionista released her own line of jeans after collaborating with German denim label Closed in 2014.
