Meanwhile, her co-star, 56-year-old Liev Schreiber looked dapper in a grey blazer and matching trousers, paired with a crisp white shirt.
The pair star as husband and wife in “The Perfect Couple,” a murder mystery. While Schreiber and Kidman appeared in high spirits on the red carpet, it was the Oscar-winning actress’s dress and facial look that captured the most attention from fans.

One fan who didn’t like the dress remarked, “What’s with all the bib-type dress fronts? Strange.” Another commented on the neckline, “I don’t think the neckline suits Nicole; otherwise, she’s looking good.”

A different observer added, “Nicole’s face is not the same—too much filler or Botox. She was already pretty. Hollywood really hurts women to meet its standards.”

On a brighter note, a fan praised her, saying, “Nicole is stunning, iconic, and so classy 🙌🔥.”ÂDespite the mixed reactions, Kidman’s presence during premieres has continued to draw attention, admiration, and criticism.
Kidman knows how to push boundaries to keep people talking, and her role in the upcoming movie, “Babygirl” is no exception. This time, it’s not just her talent that’s making waves, but her steamy scenes with Harris Dickinson—who just so happens to be 29 years her junior.

The film centers around a high-powered CEO, Romy (Kidman) who puts her career and family on the line when she begins a sultry affair with her much younger intern, Samuel (Dickinson).
A sneak peek of the scene shows Kidman and Dickinson in a close, intimate moment in a pool, which has sparked a hot debate online.
Following the post by Vanity Fair, fans are buzzing with reactions as spicy as the movie itself, with many sharing their diverse opinions about Kidman’s steamy performance with the younger co-star. One protective fan humorously cried, “GET MY BOYFRIEND AWAY FROM THAT OLD WOMAN!”
Others seemed to have picked up on a pattern in Kidman’s recent roles, with one person cheekily noting, “I’m starting to see a trend in Kidman’’ movies—affairs with younger men.” This same fan added a lighthearted jab, “I hope Keith Urban is still cool with it.”
Several other comments hinted at what might be Hollywood’s newest trend: older women being paired with younger men. “Old women with young guys is the latest trend in Hollywood,” they observed.

Another took it a step further, suggesting that these roles make “older lady audiences feel good about themselves and bring young guys’ cougar fantasies to life.”

Some reactions were a bit more pointed, with one person noting, “It’s pretty interesting that she still plays roles like that at almost 60[sic].” Another commenter even speculated about Kidman’s home life, “Maybe Keith Urban is into it?”

Still, some fans are fully embracing the heat, with one simply exclaiming, “Omg Steamy!!!!”ÂAnother person gushed, “I love Nicole too much! Best actress out there!” Still, the person dropped a bit of shade, “But the fact that she is paired with all young guys lately is a bit cringey! 🙃”ÂAnother suggested, “Oscar for Nicole.”

And then there were the reminders of her last daring role, with someone simply pleading, “Please no awkward scenes like the ones with Zac Efron!!” referring to Kidman’s previous rom-com, “A Family Affair,” which premiered in June.
In a recent interview, Kidman, 57, reflected on her role in “Babygirl,” describing it as more exposed than any project she has previously worked on. Despite her extensive film career, Kidman mentioned that “Babygirl” stands out for its raw intensity. “I’ve made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this,” she said.

Regarding the film’s intimate scenes, the actress emphasized the importance of safety and professionalism. The scenes, filmed in long takes by director Halina Reijn, were carefully choreographed with the help of intimacy coordinators.

Even though Kidman was deeply engaged in the work, she noted the process was demanding. She said it left her feeling emotionally drained and at times overwhelmed. She described feeling very exposed as an actress and a person and struggled with the notion of sharing her vulnerability with the world.
