Nicole Kidman has once again captivated audiences with her ageless appearance, this time gracing the cover of GQ magazine’s annual Men of the Year special edition.
The 57-year-old Hollywood icon posed in a series of elegant outfits for the photo shoot, including a striking blue skirt paired with a white cropped top and a gold gown with black ripped tights and heeled boots.
Kidman’s timeless beauty and grace continue to make her one of the industry’s most admired stars.
The Men of the Year event, which is set to take place this week in London, also features other notable cover stars, including actor Jude Law, footballers Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer, and rapper Central Cee.
In the accompanying interview, Kidman opened up about her role in the upcoming erotic thriller Babygirl. Directed by Halina Reijn, the film stars Kidman as Romy, an influential tech CEO who embarks on an affair with a young intern played by Harris Dickinson.
Antonio Banderas also stars as Romy’s husband. The film, set to release on Christmas Day in the U.S. and January 10 in the UK, has generated significant anticipation, partly due to its explicit content and bold performances.
Kidman described the filming of Babygirl as one of the most challenging of her career. “There are so many close-ups. It’s a full stripping of me,” she explained.
The actress reflected on the role’s intense emotional and physical demands, sharing that the process was sometimes frustrating and exhausting. “There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration,” she said. “At times, I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm anymore.’”
Despite the difficulties, Kidman’s performance has already garnered critical acclaim, with the actress receiving the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival.
In addition to discussing her latest project, Kidman also addressed the issue of gender representation in Hollywood.
She publicly commented about legendary director Martin Scorsese, saying she would love to work with him—“if he does a film with women.” This remark, which highlights the lack of female-driven stories in Scorsese’s work, sparked further discussion about gender diversity in the film industry.
Scorsese has previously dismissed similar criticisms, calling them “a waste of time” at a press conference for his 2019 film The Irishman.
Kidman’s performance and advocacy for female representation continue to make headlines as Babygirl prepares for its wide release. Her enduring presence in Hollywood and her willingness to take on bold and challenging roles cement her place as one of the most influential actresses of her generation.
