Nicole Kidman: “Babygirl” star becomes a work of art

At the premiere of her new film “Babygirl”, Nicole Kidman (57) attracted all eyes on her on Friday evening at the Venice International Film Festival. The Hollywood star wore an ensemble by the haute couture house Schiaparelli that resembled a work of art: a shoulder-free, skin-colored corset with tulle draped in front of the décolleté and covered in black pearls. The corset formed a peplum on the thin hips that even seemed to imitate hip bones and finally flowed down in swinging pearl necklaces.

After this opening, the lower half of the body was more reserved: a long black velvet skirt and black pointed high heels left room for the impressive top. Kidman herself shone in the outfit: her eyes were accentuated with eyeliner and brown eye shadow, she wore her hair in loose, natural waves, and large earrings flashed underneath.

“Babygirl”: Erotic thriller makes Kidman vulnerable

In “Babygirl,” Kidman plays a New York businesswoman who begins a risky affair with her much younger intern, played by Harris Dickinson (28). “I think this film is clearly about sex, but it’s also about desire, about inner thoughts, about secrets, about marriage, about truth, power and consent,” Kidman explained during the festival.

The erotic thriller is currently presenting the actress with challenges, as she admitted. She feels “exposed and vulnerable” when the film is presented to the world, and that she is not sure whether she is brave enough to see the film on the big screen. The fears were apparently unfounded. As was reported by, among others, there was a seven-minute standing ovation at the world premiere, especially for Kidman’s performance.
