The actress gazed at the camera as a light breeze blew her wavy blonde locks.
She then gave herself a tight hug before playfully rushing toward the camera with her mouth open.
'Love from France,' the Oscar winner captioned the video, which was paired with Lorde's new song What Was That.
Fans and celebrities swooned over Kidman's leggy display, including Vanessa Hudgens, who commented, 'Love you.'
'Queen beautiful queen,' one social media user gushed, while another added, 'She's everything.'
Kidman appeared to be enjoying her getaway to France following a busy start to the year.
The Big Little Lies star kicked off 2025 at the Palm Springs International Film Awards in January, where she accepted the international star award.
A few days later, she made an appearance at W Magazine 's annual pre-Golden Globes party with her and Keith Urban's 16-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose.
On January 5, Kidman turned heads at the 2025 Golden Globes in a backless Balenciaga gown.
She also attended the 2025 Time Women of the Year Gala in February wearing a custom Chloé dress.
More recently, the Moulin Rouge! star was spotted filming her forthcoming series Margo's Got Money Troubles earlier this month.

Channel 10's major unravel exposed
Once a ratings juggernaut and star-maker, DWTS had its heyday in the 2000s with memorable performances by stars like Bec Hewitt and Ada Nicodemou. Photo: Channel 7 When it returned in 2021, Seven leaned heavily into nostalgia, reviving hosts Sonia Kruger and Daryl Somers. But audiences had moved on, and despite some high-profile casting, including Courtney Act and Grant Denyer, viewership declined year-on-year. Production costs were high, and by 2025, it was quietly confirmed this season would be its last. Photo: Channel 7 This once-revered tribute show This Is Your Life made a comeback in 2022 with Melissa Doyle as host. It featured emotional episodes spotlighting the likes of Ian Thorpe and Shane Warne (posthumously). However, the format felt dated, struggling to connect with younger audiences. Ratings were inconsistent, and after a subdued 2023 run, it was shelved again. Photo: Channel 7 Balloon artistry competition Blow Up tried to emulate the feel-good magic of Lego Masters. Despite bright visuals and charming contestants, the show failed to land. Host Stephen Curry and judge Balloon artist Chris Adamo couldn't elevate it past its niche appeal. It vanished after its debut season. Photo: Channel 7 Marketed as a blockbuster survival epic, big-budget gamble The Million Dollar Island featured 100 contestants competing in a remote location for a million-dollar prize was riddled with logistic issues. Critics called the format chaotic, and the lack of clear storytelling hurt audience investment. The show failed to rate and was canned despite heavy promotion. Photo: Channel 7 Holey Moley was an ambitious minigolf meets Wipeout hybrid that hoped to be a family favourite. While Rob Riggle and Matt Shirvington brought energy to hosting duties, the concept wore thin quickly. Despite a flashy launch and US branding, ratings tanked after a few weeks. Photo: Channel 7 Ultimate Tag was a high-energy sport-meets-game-show format where contestants tried to outrun elite 'taggers'. The production was impressive, but the gameplay lacked tension. Even the presence of Olympian Liz Clay couldn't save it from cancellation. Photo: Channel 7 Wife Swap Australia 's 2021 reboot aimed for controversy but ultimately fell short, being more awkward than insightful. Families clashed over parenting and values, but the drama felt manufactured. Critics said the format hadn't evolved, and audiences didn't bite. Photo: Channel 7 Channel 7's House Rules was a strong contender to The Block, especially with memorable seasons like the 2017 showdown between Aaron and Daniella and Andrew and Jono. But fatigue set in by the later years, and ratings steadily declined. Seven pulled the plug in 2020 and struggled to replace it with a successful renovation show. Photo: Channel 7 Touted as 'the Olympics of food', this multicultural cooking contest Plate of Origin, brought together teams from various backgrounds. Despite heavy-hitter hosts Manu Feildel, Gary Mehigan, and Matt Preston, the show lacked cohesion. The pandemic-affected production didn't help, and viewership never took off. Photo: Channel 7 Pooch Perfect was a dog grooming competition hosted by Rebel Wilson charmed some viewers but confused others. Critics couldn't decide if it was a kids' show or adult reality TV. It gained some attention in the US but was never renewed in Australia. Photo: Channel 7 Launched with a bang, Ninja Warrior became a prime-time powerhouse thanks to its jaw-dropping stunts and everyday Aussie heroes like Ashlin Herbert and Ben Polson. The first few seasons drew millions, but interest began to wane as the format became predictable. Photo: Nine Network By 2022, key contestants had either moved on or lost their novelty, and new competitors struggled to match early fan favourites. Nine chose not to renew the show amid declining ratings and rising production costs. Photo: Nine Network Hosted by Scott Pickett and Poh Ling Yeow, Snackmasters was a unique culinary competition had chefs reverse-engineering iconic supermarket snacks. It was playful and different but didn't have the hook to retain long-term viewers. Although the early novelty worked, the second season suffered from repetition and audience fatigue. Nine quietly shelved it after two seasons. Photo: Nine Network Fronted by respected journalist Liz Hayes, investigative current affairs series Under Investigation aimed to dig deep into cold cases and social mysteries. While it was praised for its depth, it lacked the urgency of other news programs. Viewer numbers remained modest, and when Hayes departed Nine in 2023 to join Seven, the show was formally retired. Photo: Nine Network A daytime fixture for over a decade, Millionaire Hotseat was a rapid-fire quiz show hosted by Eddie McGuire kept Nine's afternoons humming along for years. But by the 2020s, its format felt tired and viewership dropped. The show quietly wrapped in 2023 as Nine refreshed its schedule with newer content aimed at younger demographics. Photo: Nine Network Marketed as a heartfelt alternative to fast-paced dating shows, My Mum Your Dad 's format saw adult children nominate their single parents to find love. It earned praise for its authenticity and warmth, but ratings never matched critical goodwill. Despite likeable cast members and emotional moments, Nine didn't renew it after two seasons. Photo: Nine Network Rush was a travel-adventure competition that tried to mimic The Amazing Race energy with a high-stakes format. Hosted by David Genat, the show placed contestants in remote destinations with limited resources. While visually engaging, the show lacked compelling contestants and storytelling, and Nine opted not to bring it back. Photo: Nine Network A cult hit in its first run, Beauty and the Geek paired shy, nerdy men with confident women for a reality makeover experience. In the 2021 reboot, Nine gave it a more emotional and wholesome tone, bringing in Sophie Monk as host. Photo: Nine Network However, long-time fans missed the chaos of earlier seasons, and the new format struggled to attract new viewers. It ended after two revival seasons. Photo: Nine Network Australia's version of Celebrity Apprentice Revived had four seasons with Mark Bouris at the helm before ending in 2016. However it was revived with Lord Alan Sugar as the headline act in 2021. The reboot pulled in influencers and entrepreneurs like Martha Kalifatidis and Scherri-Lee Biggs. While it delivered drama, critics called it hollow and repetitive. Despite some explosive boardroom clashes, it failed to capture the magic of the original and was axed after two seasons. Photo: Nine Network Hosted by Karl Stefanovic, This Time Next Year profiled Australians working towards life-changing personal goals. The time-jump format was novel, showing before and after moments within one episode. While emotional and well-meaning, it struggled to maintain ratings past the second season and was not renewed.

Laura Henshaw: Kic founder discusses misogyny, pregnancy
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. After years of uncertainty around her desire to have children, podcaster and Kic co-founder and CEO Laura Henshaw tells Stellar about the 'complete shock' of falling pregnant. Stellar: Laura, you have just announced you're expecting your first baby. Can you tell us about the moment you found out you were pregnant? Laura Henshaw: It was a very big shock. I'd been on a journey last year. I was feeling so overwhelmed by the thought of having children. I'd thought: By the time I'm 30, this light-bulb or switch will go off in my head and I'll feel maternal and know that I want kids. And between 30 and 32, I actually felt the opposite. The closer I got to the age I thought I should be having kids, the more I was questioning it. I used to think, what's wrong with me? I had all these fears that I was going to lose myself and my career, and that I'd really struggle. So I went on this journey [and released the podcast Do I Want Kids?] to work through it. And [my husband Dalton and I] came out the end of it, and decided that we did want to have children. But we weren't 100 per cent sure when. I was actually booked in for a laparoscopy [to investigate for endometriosis] in the middle of May. I was going to do the London Marathon, have the laparoscopy, and after that start thinking about kids. Kic co-founder Laura Henshaw has opened up about her 'shock' pregnancy in a new interview with Stellar. Picture: Steven Chee for Stellar Listen to the full interview with Laura Henshaw on the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About: Then, all of a sudden, I missed my period. We did a pregnancy test the next day. My husband was so funny. He was like, 'Laura, I think you're pregnant.' And I was like, 'We can't be.' We'd had sex once the month before – like, a morning quickie. I thought, there's no way… [Then] we did the test… and we are pregnant. I'd seen so many videos on Instagram where people have found out they're pregnant. They're crying, their partner's crying. And it wasn't that I wasn't grateful or happy. I was in complete shock. I actually didn't get emotional at all until I told Steph [Claire Smith, Henshaw's business partner and co-founder of their health and wellness company Kic] about five days later. Her reaction was so beautiful. She was sobbing, and then it kind of hit me. I had a fear that I didn't know how I would feel. But I do feel really happy. 'It's a question we shouldn't ask women!' Laura Henshaw on comments made to her before her pregnancy was revealed publicly. Picture: Steven Chee for Stellar Stellar: As part of the parasocial relationship you have with your audience, you've had to deal with people repeatedly asking, 'Oh, are you pregnant?' Stellar has had a policy for six years now not to ask high-profile celebrities – male or female – whether they want to have kids. But it's a question that gets asked of women much more often than it's asked of men. Laura Henshaw: In terms of the unsolicited stuff that comes through, people had said to me, 'Are you pregnant?' And that was actually to do with the way my body looked. I got a few messages saying, 'Oh, you've got a little pot belly and it just made me think, like, are you pregnant?' or, 'I probably shouldn't think this, but I wanted to send the message through...' I think if you're ever going to write to someone, 'I probably shouldn't think this, but I just wanted to send it through', it's probably a time not to send that through. It's a question we shouldn't ask women. We should never assume. You never know what anyone is going through behind the scenes. Listen to the full interview with Laura Henshaw on the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About: Stellar: Your husband Dalton (né Graham, founder and CEO of Melbourne creative agency Bullfrog) took your surname when you got married in 2021. Have you had any discussions about what the family name will be for your baby? Laura Henshaw: When we got married, I said to him, 'I don't really want to change my name. I've built my brand around my name, it means a lot to me. However, I don't expect you to change your name.' We had a really open conversation about it. There was no expectation that because I was female, I would change my name and because he was the man, I would take his. He said, 'Well, it makes sense for you to keep your name. And I want to have the same surname as our kids, so I'll change my name.' So that will mean our baby will have our shared surname: Henshaw. Laura Henshaw announced her pregnancy last week. Picture: Instagram Kic co-founders Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith. Picture: Supplied Stellar: Last month, Australian podcaster Chris Griffin made headlines with his views on gender roles in relationships, saying, 'I don't want my partner working unless she wants to work', adding he would prefer to come home to 'calm, harmony, peace and love that a man that's got a busy life, that's chasing his dreams, needs when he's trying to wind down'. You responded to his comments, with your remarks going viral. Did you ever hesitate about speaking up and taking on the manosphere? Laura Henshaw: I watched it and felt this combination of rage and also… what the heck is going on here? How is this content? In all the research I've done over the past few weeks, I've found that the 'manosphere' content is actually now mainstream. And that's really scary, but it hadn't hit my algorithm. The first thing you feel is defeat. We've come so far; we're not an equal society in any way from a gender perspective, but we're making progress. So when you see content like that – especially from a 23-year-old male that isn't in a relationship talking to another male of a similar age that also isn't in a relationship, hasn't experienced having children – I just felt defeated. There were no comments pushing back, [they were all], 'Wow, you're amazing.' I thought, this is insane. Picture: Ian Currie 'This limiting view of women is so dangerous.' Picture: Suppied Laura Henshaw (continued): As someone who grew up in a household where my parents separated when I was 12 – my mum wasn't working full-time, she didn't have super, and then had to go out and find a full-time job and be a single mum – I have experienced first-hand what happens when you have these traditional gender roles at home and you don't have conversations about finances. This [Griffin clip] was [filmed] in this beautifully lit studio, it had this violin music or piano behind it, and so it made it seem like it was motivational. Like: this is the life that you want to live, you need to follow this person. And I was like, you know what? That's it. I'm going to talk about this. This limiting view of women is so dangerous that I ended up doing a miniseries on it that we released last week called Am I Equal? It was really important for me to do because I think in a heterosexual relationship, if the wife does want to stay home, that's absolutely fine. But they need to have all of the information. They need to have conversations with their partner. They need to have financial control together. Not one person has financial control and then the other one is like, oh, it will be fine. Because you actually don't know if it's going to be fine. Stellar: The #TradWife and #stayathomegirlfriend TikTok trends made the notion of opting out of paid employment seem very appealing to young women. Have the young women in your audience been receptive to the cautionary messages in your commentary and this new miniseries? Laura Henshaw: TradWife content and stay-at-home girlfriends are trends I've struggled with so much. What's really scary with that content is it's so glamorised. It looks amazing. The thing with these content creators is, if you're creating content all day, you have a job, right? So they're showcasing that they don't work, but they really do. Because being a content creator is a job in itself. But you only see 1 per cent of someone's life on social media. This is why I wanted to call out [the Griffin clip], in terms of it being benevolent sexism. It's control disguised as care. They say they're doing it because it's loving, they want to look after you, they want you to 'be in your feminine' – whatever the heck that means – they want you to have freedom. There's no such thing as freedom if it's dictated how you need to be. That's not free. Listen to the full interview with Laura Henshaw on the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About: Laura Henshaw (continued): The amount of women that reached out to me and said 'Thank you for sharing', or devastatingly, that they had been through [that experience] because their partner said they cared about them and didn't want them to work, and now they're a single parent in a lot of debt, they're struggling, they're living on Centrelink and they wish they had known and had those conversations… That's been really nice to speak to them, and for them to feel empowered by these conversations now being more mainstream.

Romeo Beckham is 'so, so proud' of his dad David for receiving a knighthood
Romeo Beckham is "so, so proud" of his dad David for receiving a knighthood. The 50-year-old sports legend - who has been married to Spice Girl Victoria Beckham since 1999 and also has Brooklyn, 26, Cruz, 20, as well as 13-year-old Harper Seven with her - will now be known as Sir David Beckham after being named in the King's Birthday Honours list and Romeo, 22, was quick to praise his father over the news. Alongside a snap of himself and his dad, Romeo wrote on Instagram: "So so proud of you", and emblazoned his words with a string of white heart emojis. Shortly after that, musician Cruz also took to social media to congratulate his dad. He wrote: "I'm so proud dad I love you. "Sir David Beckham Has a nice ring to it." At the time of writing, David and Victoria's eldest child Brooklyn is yet to make any public statement on the news. But Victoria did acknowledge the "passion" has husband has that has led him to this point as she admitted she "couldn't be prouder" of him. She wrote on Instagram: "You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered. The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx" Along with the former Manchester United star's new title of Sir David Beckham, the fashion designer will become formally known as Lady Victoria. Upon receiving the honour, the sports star admitted that he found it all to be a "truly humbling" experience. He said: "Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. "To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career, and literally a boyhood dream come true." I've been so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I'm grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. "It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I'm immensely proud and it's such an emotional moment for me to share with my family." In 2003, he was given an OBE by the late Queen Elizabeth for services to football. The former England captain has a long history of carrying out charitable work, which Honours Committee officials will have considered before deciding to bestow him with the honour.
