Patricia Arquette, 55, looks youthful in gold as she attends a festival in France... after sharing she was 'uncomfortable' going nude in a '90s film

Patricia Arquette stole the spotlight at the 15th edition of Series Mania in Lille, France on Friday.

The 55-year-old Oscar winner — who recently hit up an Emmy afterparty with her daughter Harlow — looked incredible in her sparkling ensemble for the event, which has become Europe's biggest television festival since its debut in 2010, per Variety.

Dressed in a fabulous gold coat and matching metallic skirt, the Boyhood actress arrived as the guest of honor and took over the red carpet. 

With her trademark blonde locks fashioned into a casual bun and minimal makeup enhancing her natural beauty, she effortlessly commanded attention.

The appearance came a day after the iconic star had led a discussion on various topics, including her rural Virginia childhood and her Academy Award-winning career, according to Deadline.

She also spoke openly about the challenges of filming her extended nude scene for director David Lynch in his 1997 psychological thriller Lost Highway. 

Patricia revealed that during that period, she had felt 'really uncomfortable with nudity,' per the outlet. 

Despite this, she persevered with the scene as a personal challenge as an artist.  Unfortunately, she found herself uncomfortable on set due to the behavior of certain crew members. 

'It was weird. It was hard for my own hang-ups. But also the guys were saying some crude things. I told David that I wasn’t comfortable,” she said.

Lynch requested her departure from the set, following which he proceeded to reprimand the crew members, according to the star. 

'By the time I came back in, they were all looking at their feet and apologizing. He made sure there were some boundaries for different things,' she added, according to the source. 

In regards to her experience with Martin Scorsese on his 1999 feature Bringing Out the Dead, Patricia told an anecdote about the director's near-instinctive mastery of filmmaking. 

'I remember one time the monitors went off when he was watching [a scene], and he said, "That’s good we’ve got it." And I said, how do you know Marty? The monitors went off. And he said, "I can hear it. You can hear it when it’s right."'

Patricia won Best Supporting Actress for 2014's Boyhood

She also talked about the late Tony Scott, who directed her in her breakout role as Alabama in 1993's True Romance. 

'What he taught me as an actor that changed my life is that I had good ideas and could insert myself. Because he was so consistent in that support, I really started to trust myself.'

Arquette's latest on-screen venture was in Apple's Severance. 

As a director, she recently unveiled Gonzo Girl, starring Willem Dafoe, at TIFF 2023.
