Leave it to Nicole Kidman to leave us speechless.

After debuting a Brat-inspired motocore ensemble this weekend—which featured a black leather jacket and pants—the Babygirl actress reverted back to her red-carpet glam ways for an awards event where she was honored.

The Academy Award-winning actress blessed us with a jaw-dropping red hot look on Sunday at the 2025 Kering Women in Motion Awards in Cannes. It was a sleeveless, turtleneck, floral lace dress—her second Balenciaga outfit since arriving at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Ahead of the Sunday evening event, Kidman shared a preview of the conservative, yet hot high-neck gown on Instagram. “I just love it when you call me baby,” the actress captioned the dreamy photo of herself from behind overlooking the Cannes ocean sunset in the classic column gown.

The cheeky post garnered responses from Moulin Rouge! and Babygirl fans everywhere who commented everything from “SATINE” to “MY BABYGIRL.” (In Moulin Rouge!, Kidman is striking as Satine in a silky red gown.) The star’s longtime stylist, Jason Bolden, also slipped into the comments section, praising her with a simple “Swoon,” and a flood of heart emojis.

Inside the A-list event, Kidman was joined by event hosts Salma Hayek and her husband, Kering CEO François-Henri Pinault, alongside Hollywood favorites like Paul Mescal, Dakota Johnson, Halle Berry, Charli XCX, Edgar Daisy Jones, and more.
