Nicole Kidman joined the mass of gorgeous female celebrities proving that age is just a number as she strips down for her stunning new photoshoot.
The Big Little Lies star showed off her long legs and towering height while rocking a very real snake around her neck – when we say she’s an icon, we mean it.
Apparently the snake was brought into the shoot because Nicole simply thinks they’re ‘very beautiful’ and wanted to symbolise Australian ‘tenacity’ in her concept.
At 56, Nicole is entering a new and exciting era of style, posing on red carpets in cut-away gowns and now this nearly nude photoshoot for Vogue Australia.
She’s not using the term reinvention though, this is not a different woman emerging simply another side of the Others actress who has graced our screens for three decades.
‘It’s more like different facets that you discover that are in existence, but you are attuned to the discovery of them,’ she told the publication for her ninth cover issue.
Nicole continued: ‘Yes, I remain very open and still very passionate about what I do, and curious. And those elements haven’t been dampened.
‘You can either become more rigid as you become older, but you can also become more free.’
Free certainly applies to these photos, which see the Oscar winner rocking a long-sleeved lace body suit and very little else as she pulls on a garter.
The punk-meets-burlesque look is accentuated with a pale corset, which finishes under Nicole’s bust as her long blonde hair is wild around her face with piercing smokey eyes locked on the camera.
In another stunning picture, the Hours star poses in a nude latex skirt and leather-look strappy black bra, showing off her toned figure.
Vogue Australia editor-in-chief, Christine Centenera, said of the shoot: ‘This is Nicole’s ninth Vogue Australia cover and comes from a place of wanting to do things differently.
‘It was driven by the idea that when you have an established body of work, an expectation builds that you do things in a “certain way” – but we wanted to break free of that, to shake things up.’
Vogue highlighted Nicole’s consistent work and promotion of female directors, actresses, and filmmakers including Sofia Coppola, Jane Campion, and Andrea Arnold.
The decision came in the form of a serendipitous meeting with Meryl Streep in 2007, after which she began working on female led projects every 18 months.
Nicole added: ‘It’s a very, very powerful place of protection for me with women.’
