Nicole Kidman radiated elegance as she graced the premiere of her latest film, Babygirl, in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The Oscar-winning actress, 57, stepped onto the pink carpet at the DGA Theater, dazzling fans with her ethereal beauty and bold fashion statement.
Nicole, who recently secured a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Romy in the sultry thriller, stunned in a strapless gown adorned with delicate pastel floral embellishments.
The custom A24 gown flowed effortlessly into a dramatic train, perfectly complemented by a sleek black belt tied into a bow at her waist, accentuating her enviable figure.
Her signature strawberry-blonde locks were styled into a chic updo, with soft tendrils framing her flawless features.

So it was really beautiful to be seen in this way.” She continued: “From the minute I read it, I was like, ‘Yeah, this is a voice I haven’t seen, this is a place I haven’t been, and I don’t think audiences have been.'”
Nicole described her character Romy as a woman grappling with her desires and identity. “She’s reached a stage where she’s got all this power, but she’s not sure who she is, what she wants, what she desires, even though she seems to have it all,” the actress shared.

While Nicole admitted the role was emotionally and physically demanding, she praised the film for its raw, unfiltered exploration of sexuality and power dynamics. “The sexuality of this role was what interested me—it felt raw and dangerous,” she said. “It wasn’t written for a 20- or 30-year-old, and I love that it challenges conventional storytelling.”
