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. The award winning actress, 57, looked incredible in the corset style leather jacket which she teamed with coordinated low rise jeans '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.

Nicole Kidman is receiving an award from Salma Hayek's husband... after the bombshells seemed to 'feud' last year
Nicole Kidman is receiving yet another honor in her very long list of accolades. The Oscar winner, who shared a sultry video of herself dancing on a balcony in France, will be the recipient of the Woman In Motion at the Cannes Film Festival which kicks off May 13. In announcing the honor, the committee, sponsored by the the Kering Group - which owns luxury brands including Gucci, Saint Laurent, and many more - explained Kidman, 57, was this year's recipient for her 'artistic audacity' and 'transformative portrayals that have reshaped the representation of women on screen.' Kering is run by Salma Hayek 's husband François-Henri Pinault. Salma and Nicole seem to have a history. Last year a video surfaced of Salma and Nicole at the Balenciaga show in Paris, sparking speculation about a possible feud between the actresses. The video shows Hayek seemingly trying to pose with Kidman for photographers, but Kidman appears to brush her off and then turns to greet Katy Perry. However, a source confirmed that the incident was misconstrued and that the two actresses are on good terms. They were reportedly overwhelmed by the photographers and were simply trying to navigate the situation. Nicole was also praised for honoring her 2017 'pledge to work with a female director every 18 months.' The in-demand star exceeded that promise, collaborating with 19 women directors so far, and for using her production company Blossom films to 'elevate women's voices.' Kidman shared a copy of the announcement in her Instagram Stories along with her heartfelt thanks for the 'incredible recognition.' 'It's a true honor to receive this award from François, Thierry, Iris, my friends at the Kering Group as well as the Cannes Film Festival,' Nicole wrote, referring to Kering chairman and CEO François-Henri Pinault and festival leaders Thierry Fremaux and Iris Knobloch. 'I am proud to join this list of extraordinary women who've received this honor before me – artists and trailblazers I deeply admire,' she continued. '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,' she said. The award ceremony will be on May 18. 'When a great actress works with nearly twenty female directors in the space of a few years, she shows the world just how vibrant and alive the talent of women in cinema really is,' said Knobloch in a statement. 'Through all these projects, and of course through her production company, Nicole Kidman has given those who write, direct, and tell stories all the visibility they deserve,' per The Hollywood Reporter. Kidman worked with women directors on her upcoming projects Margo's Got Money Troubles and Scarpetta. Previous winners are: NBCUniversal chief Donna Langley, Jane Fonda, Isabelle Huppert, Patty Jenkins, Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon, Viola Davis, Michelle Yeoh, Gong Li and Salma Hayek.

'Queen of Australia': Fans go wild for Nicole Kidman as actress, 57, strips down to underwear while dancing to drug-fuelled party song
Nicole Kidman has sent social media wild as she stripped down to her underwear and danced to a drug-fuelled party song on a dreamy balcony in France. On Monday, the 57-year-old Australian actress took to Instagram to share the flirty new video of herself in a body-sculpting black leotard and sheer black tights. The sultry ensemble accentuated Kidman's statuesque frame as she moved to the tune of New Zealand star Lorde's What Was That. Lorde's lyrics in What Was That mention ecstasy, which has raised some eyebrows from fans who claim it glamorised the party drug. 'MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up / We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?' the 28-year-old sings. While the tune sounded, Kidman's signature blonde locks were windswept by the breeze at the picturesque French seaside. The actress is taking some time off in Europe in the wake of the success of her erotic film Babygirl and the psychological thriller Holland. Kidman appeared to be enjoying herself on holiday and looked relaxed and happy as she gave an elated expression to the camera in the clip to her more than 10 million followers, captioned 'Love from France.' About 2000 fans went wild for the A-lister, flooding the comments section with their support. 'The queen of Australia. Wonderful,' one person wrote. 'She's so crazy. I love her,' another person said, while a third fan wrote: 'Lorde summer'. American actress Vanessa Hudgens joined the trove of supporters and commented: 'Love you.' Another person said Kidman was 'such a beautiful, brilliant lady'. "Queen, beautiful queen," said one more person. It comes as Kidman is set to receive the Woman in Motion Award at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18 from Kering chairman and CEO François-Henri Pinault, Cannes president Iris Knobloch, and director Thierry Fremaux. The award champions the creativity and contribution women make on and off screen in the world of culture and the arts. The A-lister, who was last at Cannes in 2017 to receive the 70th Anniversary Prize, said she was honoured to be the recipient of the gong. '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,' she said in a statement. '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.' Meanwhile, Keith Urban's wife has appeared to walk back her statement about intermittently stepping back from acting following a busy workload. In March, Kidman told the Hollywood Reporter she was "off" for the remainder of the year after releasing Expats, A Family Affair, The Perfect Couple, Spellbound, Babygirl, and Lioness season two. However, just weeks later, she was spotted working on the set of the Apple TV+ series Margo's Got Money Troubles in Los Angeles. With no signs of slowing down, Kidman is this year set to star in and produce the Australian TV series adaptation of Liane Moriarty's novel The Last Anniversary, the Amazon Prime Video series Scarpetta, and Nine Perfect Strangers season two.
