She recently said in an interview she couldn’t care less about what people thought about her fashion choices.
And Nicole Kidman certainly turned heads as she attended the New York premiere of her new Amazon Prime Video series Expats in New York on Sunday.
The Hollywood star, 56, dared to bare in the chilly weather, showing off her incredible figure in a racy backless black gown.
The flamed-haired beauty flaunted her very toned back and six-pack abs in the structured frock, which featured a cowl neck design on the bodice and high split in the skirt.
Nicole let her dress do the talking by accessorising with elegant but simple drop diamond earrings, a matching diamond bracelet and ring and a watch.
She wore her strawberry locks down and opted for a copper-toned eyeshadow palette and a rosy lip for makeup.
In Expats, Nicole plays Margaret, a well-off American woman living a seemingly idyllic life in Hong Kong with her family – until an unthinkable tragedy occurs and her son goes missing.
Her life becomes wrapped up with two other American women also undergoing their own ordeals, including a young woman struggling to let go of the past.
Nicole recently opened up about her experiences navigating Hollywood as a woman in her fifties.
The Australian star told Stellar’s Something To Talk About podcast that after kicking up a stir with her controversial 2022 Vanity Fair micro skirt photoshoot, she’s never let what other people think hold her back.
‘I make the most random, crazy choices. I call it “teenage choices” because I don’t ever think of the consequences,’ she admitted.
‘I have to be made to think of consequences half the time. Part of my brain just doesn’t think like that.’
The Nine Perfect Strangers favourite went on to say she makes all her fashion choices based on how she feels rather than what others say she should wear.
‘I just try to keep in that place, because otherwise I think you get scared or worried about what people think,’ she added.
‘In terms of people’s reactions, I say don’t tell me. I don’t really want to know. It’ll stop me from doing what I want to do.’
It comes as the renowned actor continues to film her latest Binge series, The Last Anniversary, produced by her company Blossom Films.
Following the success of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, Nicole will collaborate once more with fellow film producer Per Saari.
The Last Anniversary will be her latest adaptation of a novel written by Liane Moriarty, which was published in 2006.
It tells a story of intrigue about a woman who inherits a home on a mysterious island, and is being filmed in Sydney with Australian actors.
‘Australian accents, an Australian project with Australian accents for the world. This has been a long time in the making,’ Nicole said at the SXSW Festival last year.
She went on to say she was thrilled to be working on yet another production based on a story by Liane, as they have so much in common.
‘She is the same age, she has got kids, she has gone through similar things at different times. She has become a great friend,’ the movie star said of the author.
