cut an edgy figure in a leather-cord as she was presented the 2025 Women In Motion Award during the 78th Cannes Film Festival on Sunday.
The award winning actress, 57, looked incredible in the corset style leather jacket which she teamed with coordinated low rise jeans.
Nicole added a chunky belt to cinch in her waist and elevated her frame in a pair of towering black stilettos.
Styling her long tresses straight, the Moulin Rouge star flashed her gorgeous smile as she posed on the red carpet.
The award, which has been presented in Cannes since 2015, recognises female artists who advance the place of women in cinema and in society.
Nicole said of the award: 'It's a true honour to receive this award from François, Thierry, Iris, my friends at the Kering Group as well as the Cannes Film Festival.

'I am proud to join this list of extraordinary women who've received this honour before me—artists and trailblazers I deeply admire.
'The Cannes Film Festival has been a part of my life for over 30 years and I am thrilled to add this incredible recognition to the many memories I've made here.'
It comes after Nicole revealed she's open to a project in which all the television characters she's ever played exist in a single extended TV universe.
'That's hilarious. I'd be up for it,' she said. 'As you know, I'm up for most things. I like to be able to say I'm game. So I'm always ready to try things.'
But, there is one person that the Eyes Wide Shut star never wants to work with under any circumstance.
And that's her husband country star Keith Urban, also 57.
'We're together in life, so we don't need to do our show together,' she told People at the season two premiere of Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers.
'Our life is a show,' she added.
Kidman and Urban married in 2006 and share daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Kidman also shares shares two children, Bella and Connor, with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
Back to the idea of all of Kidman's characters being in one show, the Family Affair star elaborated on why she'd like to do that.
'I have a huge passion for what I do. I love doing what I do, and I've been incredibly fortunate in my journey, and I'm just always a bit excited.
'I don't take any of it for granted. I'm like, "Okay, thank you. Thank you, universe,"' she added.
The Days of Thunder star also revealed why she was so keen to return to her role as the guru Masha on Nine Perfect Strangers.
'Because she's fun and powerful, and [castmate] Maisie [Richardson-Sellers] said something like, "Masha sharks it."
'So I was like, "What does that mean?" But I think that means she's a shark. She comes in, and I don't get to play sharks very often,' Kidman explained.
Nicole has been busy with a steady flow of work over the last two years, appearing in the seductive blockbuster Babygirl, Netflix's murder mystery The Perfect Couple, season two of Lioness, and the romcom A Family Affair to name a few.
While promoting her latest film, called Holland, at SXSW Film & TV Festival in March, Nicole said she's ready to take a step back from work.
'I was much more out there last year; this year I have Holland, I have Nine Perfect Strangers, and then I'm off for the rest of year. So, oh well!' she told The Hollywood Reporter.

Carlos Alcaraz wins epic five-hour French Open final from two sets down after saving THREE match points vs Jannik Sinner
WHAT A FINAL, what an outstanding comeback, what a fabulous sporting rivalry this is. Three times Carlos Alcaraz was a point away from surrendering his grip of the French Open to the world No.1 Jannik Sinner. 3 3 3 Three times he managed somehow, in thrilling, defiant fashion, to stay alive in this spell-binding contest. And to the great delight of the majority of the well-heeled Roland Garros crowd, who were all getting excellent value for their money, the Spaniard went on to retain his status as the King of Clay in an unforgettable, historic fifth-set tie-break. More than five hours and five sets of enthralling rallies saw Alcaraz drop to his knees and burst into tears, having done what he had never done before in eight previous attempts – win a tennis match having lost the opening two sets. No man before had faced THREE Championship points on Court Phillipe-Chatrier and then ended up lifting the Coupe des Mousquetaires a few hours later. A 4-6 6-7 6-4 7-6 7-6 triumph for the 22-year-old saw him bank £2.1million in prize money and lift a fifth major title, a feat only Bjorn Borg and Rafa Nadal had achieved earlier in their lives. After the longest final in the tournament's history – at five hours and 29 minutes – and second longest in the Open Era, Alcaraz became the third man this century to defend the French Open. And on his natural surface, this will go down as his hardest fought Slam success. It was gripping, edge-of-the-seat stuff, the best match so far in a Gen Z rivalry that will define men's tennis for the next 10-15 years. This was one of the greatest matches we had ever witnessed in tennis. It was exhausting to watch. Pity, too, the parents of both men who had to watch helplessly as their two sons knocked seven bells out of each other. Sinner, who drank pickle juice to avoid cramping in the fifth set, lost for the first time at a major since the 2024 Wimbledon quarter-finals. The US Open and Australian Open champion saw his 20-match winning streak come to an end as he once again lost a match that had gone past the four-hour mark. This final took place thirty-four days after his return to the sport following a controversial drugs ban. It was only on May 5 when he returned to full-time competition having served a three-month suspension for failing two doping tests in March 2024 in the United States. A shock deal was agreed with the World Anti-Doping Agency ahead of a proposed appearance at the Court of Arbitration for Sport but the settlement caused plenty of anger and furore. Sinner, 23, had been cleared of any wrongdoing by an independent panel after testing positive for the banned substance clostebol, which he claims entered his system via massages from his physiotherapist. This showpiece occasion will surely be the first of many occasions when Sinner and Alcaraz, both under the age of 24, will contest a Grand Slam final. Theirs is a rivalry that will define the next era of the sport – they already hold all of the four Slams – and this was the first men's major championship match between two stars born in the 2000s. The future is already here. Their head-to-head is also based on sportsmanship and respect – there were several moments when one of the aces swiftly conceded a point despite the officials calling the shot out. Neither warrior gave an inch in an opening set that took 65 minutes – the first game alone, which saw Jannik hold serve, lasted 12 minutes. Alcaraz was the clear favourite with the crowd and though Sinner was able to read his whipping and stinging forehand in set two, he never lost the faith that the fightback was possible. Sinner had not dropped a set at one of the four big tournaments since the fourth round of the Aussie Open – Holger Rune snatched one that day – but a sequence of 31 consecutive sets was broken in set three. Game nine of set four is one Sinner will remember for the rest of his life as he had three match points on the Alcaraz serve and yet he could not find a way past the Iberian matador. The lanky red-haired ace was being stretched to his physical capacity and it was evident he was tiring as he decided not to run for some drop shots coming his way. Commendably he remained competitive in the decisive set, breaking back when he was 5-4 down, Alcaraz's extra physicality proved crucial as he dominated the Championship tie-break. And a few metres from where there is a permanent plaque with Rafa Nadal's footprint, the current Spanish superstar was crowned clay champion once again, 90 minutes after he saved those match points. There was a lovely symmetry that the trophy was handed to him by former champion Andre Agassi, who himself had come from two sets down to shock Ukraine Andrei Medvedev in 1999. At some point, once the celebrations have stopped, Alcaraz will have to think about getting ready for his Wimbledon defence, which starts in three weeks. Because this was a bruising, physical heavyweight tie that pushed every sinew and muscle to his limits – and will live very long in the memory. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
