She may be known for her glamorous ball gowns and stylish dresses on any number of red carpets over the years, but Nicole Kidman opted for classic elegance at her latest premiere.
The 51-year-old actress proved to be the leading lady once again as she posed for a series of stunning photos in front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to celebrate her new movie Destroyer.
Showing off her age-defying figure, the star wore a tailored white suit with a plunging neckline and over-sized jacket, coupling it with some studded silver glittery stilettos to add some edgy glamour.
Wearing her hair tied tightly back in a ponytail, Nicole kept up with her business chic look and added some simple silver earrings and a matching silver necklace to complete the look.
She was all smiles on the red carpet and even took along her lookalike niece Lucia Hawley, 19, whose outfit complimented Nicole’s perfectly. The teen opted for a pretty black dress with lace tiers and strappy black heels as she arrived hand in hand with her famous aunt.

Speaking to the Mail Online outside, Nicole admitted she’s not allowing young daughters Faith, 8, and Sunday, 10, to watch the movie yet, as it’s R-rated.
“They’re not seeing this film right now because it’s an R-rated film, they don’t see anything R rated,” she explained, before adding: “They see the PG, they saw Aquaman and they loved it.”
The movie certainly proved gritty to film too and Nicole recently revealed her dedication to it ended up impacting her marriage to beloved husband Keith Urban. In fact, appearing on the UK’s Graham Norton Show, the Hollywood star admitted Destroyer has been one of her most gruelling films to date.
“It’s really a tough, gritty film, which is something I’d never done and I am always looking for new territory to explore,” she told the show’s host.
“And, when you are cast to play the older character you don’t usually get to play the younger, but a great thing as an actor is when you get to play both. It was a gift to be able to arc out the whole story for the character.”
Nicole plays a police detective, Erin Bell, who is reconnecting with people from a past undercover assignment while battling a dark mindset. However, she admitted she struggled to leave the character behind when she returned home after filming – making Keith concerned.

“My husband was like, ‘When is this going to end?’ As an actor, you take on things and some you can shed and walk away from and others you can’t,” she explained.
“The character had to seep out of my pores and I didn’t know how to perform that, so I just had to live it. I was a bit of a nightmare!”
