Nicole Kidman is proving that sometimes, all it takes for a full-on glam moment is a killer view, a blast of ocean breeze, and, apparently, no pants. The 57-year-old Oscar-winning actress and red carpet mainstay shared an impromptu seaside video to her Instagram on Monday, April 28, showing off her signature blend of elegance and edge.
Captioned "Love from France" and set to Lorde's haunting new track "What Was That," the video captures Kidman vibing solo on a balcony overlooking the sparkling French coast.
In the clip, Nicole Kidman rocks a sleek black bodysuit with a plunging neckline and ultra-high-cut hips that show off her statuesque figure. The top portion dips just enough to give a sultry peek at her décolletage, highlighted with a delicate gold pendant necklace.
Kidman skipped the pants, pairing the bodysuit with sheer black stockings, creating an effortlessly seamless, leg-for-days silhouette that looks part editorial shoot, part carefree European holiday.
Her platinum blonde hair is tasseled by the breeze as she flashes playful poses for the camera.
A Break Between Projects
The "Babygirl" star is currently enjoying a well-deserved breather after a busy press run promoting her latest film, "Holland," which had her popping up everywhere from Nashville to SXSW 2025 in March. With a bit of downtime before her next big appearance, Kidman seems to be soaking up the French vibes and clearly feeling herself while doing it.
Her flawless seaside slay is a welcome teaser of what's likely to come at this year's Cannes Film Festival, where Kidman is set to be honored with the prestigious Women in Motion Award, presented by luxury group Kering in collaboration with the festival.
On her Instagram Story, the actress reposted the announcement, celebrating her as "a major figure in cinema" whose career "has reshaped the representation of women on screen." The post praised her for everything from "Eyes Wide Shut" and "The Hours to Big Little Lies" and the recently acclaimed "Babygirl," noting her fearless dedication to bold, boundary-pushing storytelling.
From Balcony Babe to Cannes Royalty
While Kidman may be lounging seaside now, she's expected to bring her signature grace and daring to Cannes in the coming weeks, and if this video is any hint, she's already in full glam goddess mode.
Whether in a couture gown or a no-pants bodysuit moment, Nicole Kidman continues redefining what aging, artistry, and red carpet-ready beauty look like in 2025.
