'Elegant always': Nicole Kidman turns heads as she steps out in shirtless style at Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week
The 58-year-old Australian A-lister rocked a sultry all-black ensemble ahead of the Balenciaga Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show in France on Wednesday.
She channelled her character in the erotic thriller Babygirl through her latest attempt of the office siren aesthetic.
Kidman, who played a high-powered CEO who engages in an affair with her much younger intern in the A24 film, exposed her cleavage under an 80s-inspired boxy blazer fastened with a single button in the middle.
A few inches of The Nine Perfect Stranger's star's toned midriff also flashed through the jacket, which she paired with black low-rise slacks.
She accessorised the edgy look with a belt and clutch, as well as a pair of very pointed black Balenciaga Avenue pumps and black shades.
Kidman's 110mm glossy patent calfskin leather stilettos are currently valued at $1,190 on the luxury fashion house's website and served to highlight her role as a paid brand ambassador for Balenciaga since 2023.
It was the star's youthful appearance and glowing skin as she blew a kiss and made a heart sign to the press pack that caught the attention of fans.
"Exquisitely elegant always," one fan said of Kidman's outfit on social media.
"Nicole came in there with just a simple suit and shades and shut them all down," another person wrote.
One more fan said, "Nicole Kidman is absolutely stunning!" While another added "Woww Nicole".
The A Family Affair actress' glowing look comes after she denied having plastic surgery in 2007, attributing her radiant skin to a healthy lifestyle.
"To be honest, I am completely natural," she told Marie Claire at the time.
"I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke. I take care of myself. I'm very proud to say that."
Kidman then walked back her statement in 2011, saying she had had Botox but realised she didn't like the muscle relaxant and dissolved it.
"I've tried a lot of things, but aside from sports and good nutrition, most things don't make a difference," she told German magazine TV Movie.
"I even tried Botox, but I didn't like how my face looked afterwards.
"Now I don't use it any more, and I can move my forehead again."
In a 2018 interview with Harper's Bazaar, Kidman thanked her fair-toned skin for encouraging her to wear sunscreen since she was a child.
She mentioned the product in a list of her beauty rituals, which included beauty supplements, to maintain her signature youthful look.
"As a fair-skinned girl, I've worn sun cream since I was a kid," she said.
A slew of high-profile stars joined Kidman at the Balenciaga show, including Salma Hayek, Naomi Watts, Lori Harvey, and Cardi B.
It comes after Sunday Rose, the 16-year-old daughter of Nicole and her country singer husband Keith Urban, secured another modelling gig.
Sunday Rose was featured in luxury watch brand Omega's My Little Secret campaign in June, following her runway debut on the Miu Miu catwalk in October.

The Aussie teen handpicked by Tony Hawk to be in his new video game
At 15 years old, Chloe Covell is already a decorated skater, with an Olympic debut in Paris last year, five X Games gold medals and four Street League Skateboarding wins. But she admits her latest accolade is 'definitely a unique one'. The Gold Coast teenager has been handpicked by skateboarding legend Tony Hawk to be a playable character in the new Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 video game – the only female Australian skater to feature. 'I got invited to LA to do all the filming stuff and had all the green dots on me [for CGI]. It was pretty cool,' Covell said. 'Just to get all the shots of my face and stuff, I had to sit in this big octagon full of cameras. And I had to bring down a few outfits to wear so they could shoot them for when I'm on the game.' Covell wasn't even born when the original game came out in 1999. But, as her mum Julie said: '[Hawk] must have noticed or saw something unique about Chloe that would have been an asset to the game.' Covell is one of eight new characters in the game, along with Yuto Horigome, Jamie Foy, Zion Wright, Margie Didal, Rayssa Leal, Aurelien Giraud and Nora Vasconcellos. Australian skater Shane O'Neill also makes his return, having first appeared in the 2020 release. There are also a number of returning veterans, including Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Rune Glifberg and Kareem Campbell. One of Covell's latest victories was at the X Games in Osaka three weeks ago, where her final run was so perfect the commentators suggested she looked like she was in a video game.
