Nastassja Kinski was spotted on a rare outing as she made an appearance at the 2026 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival on Thursday. 

The German-born actress is known for starring in a number of award-winning films such as Tess (1979) and Paris, Texas (1984). 

She kicked off her professional entertainment career by modeling as a teenager before soon stepping into the world of acting. 

Kinski has worked with other stars over the years including Malcolm McDowell, Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, Scarlett Johansson and Laura Dern.

The actress is still active in the industry and has two upcoming film projects under her belt. 

See her now at 65. 

Kinski glammed up as she made an appearance at the glitzy film festival in the Czech Republic on Thursday for the premiere of her latest movie titled Hijamat.

The star turned heads wearing a dark navy, satin gown that contained short draped sleeves. 

She additionally slipped into a pair of closed-toed, black heels and carried a stylish black purse in her hand. 

Kinski's locks were parted in the middle and flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. 

The actress opted for minimal accessories to allow the outfit to be the main focal point, and added a pair of dangly silver earrings. 

Kinski was seen making a grand arrival to the Thermal Hotel where the festivities took place and paused for a brief photo session. 

She mingled with other attendees before taking a seat inside a theater during the special screening. 

The premise of the drama film follows the character of Murad 'whose life is shaken when he learns his younger brother is gay, finding himself caught between supporting him and pressures from their traditional family,' per IMDB. 

The star was born in January 1961 in Germany and is the daughter of late actor Klaus Kinski. 

She had an estrangement from her father until his death in 1991. 

Kinski started modeling when she was a teenager and her first acting role was in the 1975 film Wrong Move directed by Wim Wenders. 

The following year, she appeared in the supernatural horror To The Devil A Daughter and took on a minor role in a 1977 episode of Tatort. 

She gained more recognition for her performance in the movie Stay As You Are (1978) which also starred Marcello Mastroianni. 

In 1979, Kinski took on a leading role in Roman Polanski's romantic drama film Tess at age 17, which is based on the novel Tess Of The d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. 

The actress gained wider recognition for her role and won the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year - Female. 

The project raked in six Oscar nominations and won for Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design and Best Cinematography. 

At the time, Kinski had been compared to other stars such as Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman. 

'I think it's unreal. I think it's crazy. I don't know how to react. That's the real truth. They seem like such goddesses,' she told the New York Times back in 1981. 

Kinski and Polanski were rumored to have had an affair, which she addressed while talking to The Guardian in 1999. 

'There was a flirtation. There could have been a seduction, but there was not. He had respect for me.' 

Kinski's acting career continued as she starred in Francis Ford Coppola's film One From The Heart (1981) and the supernatural horror film Cat People (1982). 

Two years later, she worked alongside Harry Dean Stanton and Dean Stockwell in the 1984 movie Paris, Texas which had also been directed by Wim Wenders. 

The project went on to win the Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and was also nominated for Best Foreign Film at the Golden Globe Awards in 1985. 

Also in 1984, she starred with Dudley Moore in the romantic comedy Unfaithfully Yours. 

Kinski worked with Al Pacino in Revolution (1985) as well as Charlie Sheen in Terminal Velocity (1994).

She additionally collaborated with other Hollywood stars such as Robin Williams and Billy Crystal in Father's Day (1997). 

Other movies the actress appeared in throughout the late 90s include One Night Stand, Savior and Your Friends & Neighbors. 

In 2001, she starred in the rom-com Town & Country alongside Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn and Andie MacDowell. 

She also appeared in An American Rhapsody (2001) and David Lynch's film Inland Empire (2006). 

Kinski recently voiced the character of Tera in the animated series Castlevania: Nocturne (2023-2025). 

Aside from her latest movie Hijamat, the mother-of-three has also taken on a role in another upcoming project titled Im Zeichen des Drachens.

'Acting is so easy; you learn it as you go along; you learn it by doing it,' Kinski reflected to the New York Times during her past interview. 

'If you do things right, they tell you; if you do things wrong, they correct it. It has a kick to it. I love it; I'm very happy right now.'
