Nicole Kidman stunned onlookers last night at the premiere of her highly anticipated murder mystery series, showcasing her timeless elegance in a sleek, black, figure-hugging dress.
The 57-year-old Oscar-winning actress graced the red carpet at the BFI Imax in London’s Waterloo, radiating confidence and sophistication.
Nicole’s look was completed with chic gold drop earrings and a bold black ring, while her signature golden locks were styled perfectly straight, enhancing her statuesque appearance.
She is currently promoting her movie The Perfect Couple while her husband Keith Urban is currently in Australia promoting his tour with their two daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 13.
Nicole takes on the role of renowned novelist Greer Garrison Winbury in Netflix’s new six-part series, The Perfect Couple, starring alongside Liev Schreiber, who plays her on-screen husband.
This thrilling series promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats as it unravels a complex web of secrets, lies, and deceit.
As the buzz around her latest work continues to grow, Nicole recently opened up about her apprehensions surrounding her most daring film to date, Babygirl. Despite her nerves, she needn’t have worried.
The film’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival was met with overwhelming acclaim, culminating in a nearly seven-minute standing ovation. Critics have praised Nicole’s performance as “delicate, intimate, and very, very deep,” a testament to her ability to captivate audiences with her nuanced portrayals.

The film explores complex themes of desire, power, and personal liberation, drawing comparisons to her iconic role in Eyes Wide Shut, the erotic thriller she starred in over 25 years ago alongside then-husband Tom Cruise.

“An intimacy coordinator and a closed set were crucial in creating a safe environment for everyone involved,” she shared during a press event at the Venice Film Festival. “This film is about much more than just sex; it’s about desire, inner thoughts, secrets, marriage, truth, power, and consent. It’s one woman’s story, and I hope it’s a liberating one.”
Working with writer and director Halina Reijn added another layer of significance to the project for Nicole. “It was very important to me that this story was told through a woman’s perspective,” she said. “Halina’s vision and script made this project feel incredibly special. Exploring the complexities of my character without judgment was central to my approach.”

Nicole has been open about the apprehension she feels regarding how audiences will react to the film. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she admitted that she’s uncertain whether she has the “bravery” to watch Babygirl during its premiere at the Venice Film Festival. “I’ve done films that are quite exposing before, but nothing like this,” she confessed, describing Babygirl as the most “exposing” film of her career.
As she prepares for the film’s release, Nicole has shared that the vulnerability she felt during the filming process has left her feeling “ragged.” “It’s like, wow, I’m doing this, and now the world is going to see it. That’s a very strange feeling,” she reflected.
