Nicole Kidman Flaunts Her Figure In A Fitted Gold Balenciaga Outfit For AFI Award Gala

Nicole Kidman dazzled in a gold Balenciaga outfit for an impromptu photoshoot ahead of being honored at Saturday's AFI Life Achievement Award Gala.

She later attended the ceremony with her husband, daughters, and relatives. The actress also took to Instagram to thank her fans and the award organizers for their support.

Kidman enjoyed a delightful personal photo session ahead of her recognition at the AFI Life Achievement Award gala.

The 56-year-old blonde beauty posed for a spontaneous photo shoot in what seems to be a backyard setting, standing amid well-tended grass, with a swimming pool, shrubbery, and trees providing a picturesque backdrop.

The actress' attire was breathtaking, a dazzling long sleeveless gold gown adorned with shimmering sequins that caught the sunlight. The dress cascaded past Kidman's feet, forming a five-foot train that elegantly trailed behind her.

To complete the look, she wore a matching gold watch, rings, and earrings and heightened her stature with a pair of pointed black heels, most of which were discreetly concealed beneath the outfit's train.

Kidman also wore her hair loose, styled in a manner that artfully framed a part of her face as it cascaded down to her shoulders.

Fans of the movie star were left in awe of her beauty as they took to the comment section of her post to praise her for her fashion.

One person wrote, "You are beautiful, and congratulations on your AFI Lifetime Achievement honor."

Another said, "Quite possibly one of your most stunning looks ever!"

"Stunning! Love this look, Nicole! a third person commented.

Another fan noted, "What a beautiful celebration of you and all your brilliance!! You looked absolutely radiant."

On her Instagram page, Kidman expressed her gratitude to her supporters and organizers for all their support.

She shared a picture of the stage with a massive screen emblazoned with the words "AFI Life Achievement Award….A tribute to Nicole Kidman" written in all caps.

The actress added the caption, "Deeply moved by all of the support around the world that I've been seeing and hearing. Thank you to all of you and to the @AmericanFilmInstitute for including me in this illustrious group of honorees - now let's have some fun!"

In the comment section, she received a barrage of "congratulations" from her followers, who were happy to see her join the likes of Orson Welles, Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, Alfred Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor, Steven Spielberg, and Meryl Streep,  who all previously received the Life Achievement Award.

One person commented, "What an incredible and inspiring woman, a truly beautiful human being who has transformed and a generation. Thank you for your years of hardworking Nicole! I have enjoyed watching your work immensely over the years and I look forward to more."

Another fan remarked, "Thank you for your entire body of work! I think you save every movie."

Kidman's husband, Keith Urban, who she has been married to since 2006, stood by her on one of the most memorable nights of her life.

The duo looked like the ideal Hollywood couple as they posed together on the red carpet: Kidman looked radiant in her gold ensemble, while Urban looked dapper in a classic black suit paired with a white long-sleeved shirt and a black tie, elegantly topped off with matching shoes that added to his stature.

Kidman's daughters, Sunday Rose, 15, and Faith Margaret, 13, whom she shares with the country music star, also graced the ceremony to show their support for their mother. Both girls looked elegant in frock-styled attire from renowned designer Monique Lhuillier.

The actress was also joined by her relatives, including her sister Antonia, her brother-in-law Craig Marran, and their family.

Kidman gave a very touching speech while receiving her award, emphasizing that this was the first time she was letting her teenage daughters join her on the red carpet.

According to ABC News, the talented actress thanked the long list of directors she has worked with over the course of her career, such as Jane Campion, Baz Luhrmann, Sofia Coppola, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Sydney Pollack.

"It is a privilege to make films. And glorious to have made films and television with these storytellers who allowed me to run wild and be free and play all of these unconventional women," Kidman said during the speech after receiving the award from former honoree Meryl Streep.

She added, "Thank you for making me better at my craft and giving me a place, however temporary, in this world."

Kidman's selection for the award was announced in November 2022. Initially slated for June 2023, the ceremony was postponed due to Hollywood's strikes.
