Nicole Kidman illuminated the 81st Venice Film Festival this week, captivating onlookers in an elegant black midi dress by Bottega Veneta.
The outfit, highlighted by a plunging neckline and refined puffed short sleeves, boasted a timeless A-line shape that gracefully reached her ankles.
The dress’s bodice cinched flawlessly, cascading into a subtly pleated skirt that imparted both texture and fluidity.
Present at the festival to promote her newest erotic thriller, Babygirl, Kidman, 57, completed her sophisticated ensemble with white leather open-toed mule heels.
