IT’S official - Nicole Kidman is the Queen of the Cannes Film Festival.
The jury is still days away from announcing which flicks have scored the major prizes but the Australian megastar has already cleaned up on the red carpet.
With a whopping four films premiering at the festival over four days, Kidman has been literally everywhere - and she’s slayed while doing it.
Her latest couture stand-out at the glitzy event in the south of France was on the carpet for The Beguiled, in which she stunned in a Michael Kors gown.
Backstage, Kidman shared a video clip of herself shimmying in the sparkling frock.
It’s not the only candid moment the 49-year-old actress has shared with her fans on social media, posting an intimate selfie of her and husband Keith Urban relaxing in bed.
It followed an earlier picture in which the couple’s two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith, wrapping their arms around her huge tutu skirt of hert Calvin Klein gown.
Festival-goers have been keeping a keen eye on Kidman’s fashion, given she has so many premieres and parties to attend.
At the photo call for Top of the Lake: China Girl, Kidman embodied effortless chic in an asymmetric little black dress from Versace’s autumn/winter 2017 collection.
Meanwhile, she wore a geometrically patterned floor length gown to the special presentation screening of the sequel to Jane Campion’s acclaimed 2013 TV crime drama.
The previous day, Kidman nailed a contemporary Cinderella look at the premiere of The Killing of A Sacred Deer, a disturbing thriller about a charismatic surgeon (Colin Farrell) who is forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice.
The Calvin Klein by Appointment white tulle tutu, topped by a bias-cut black bustier, was a firm favourite with fashionistas.
Red lips, black Calvin Klein pumps and Harry Winston Diamonds jewellery completed the look.
The actress opted for more natural tones at an earlier photo call for Sacred Deer, one of two films she has screening in the main competition. The textured Dior Haute Couture dress with raffia, thread and embroideries was simply beautiful.
Kidman kicked off the festival earlier in the week with a bit of old school retro glamour.
The shimmering silver/gold Rodarte gown, with plunging keyhole neckline and netted trim, was a far cry from the look she sports in the sci-fi romance she was promoting.
Kidman’s character in How To Talk To Girls at Parties, which also stars Elle Fanning, has been described as a cross between Siouxie Sioux and Cruella de Ville.
Reviews for her on-screen performances have been just as enthusiastic.
IndieWire praised How To Talk To Girls At Parties’ “wonderfully wacky, rage-filled” punk matriarch.
The Hollywood Reporter said she had never been better than in The Killing of A Sacred Deer.
Kidman has one more film left to promote.
The Beguiled, Sofia Coppola’s remake of the 1971 Clint Eastwood film, is Kidman and Farrell’s second film screening as part of the main competition. It also stars Fanning and Kirsten Dunst.
