As the closest thing Australia has to royalty, Nicole Kidman was the obvious choice to grace the cover of Vogue’ Australia’s special 60th anniversary collector’s edition.
The Academy Award-winning actor has a long and storied history with the fashion bible, having appeared on the cover eight times throughout her journey to becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest hitters.
But it was Kidman’s ability to remain completely grounded at every stage of her stellar career, together with an unyielding love for Australia, that made the decision an easy one for Vogue Australia’s editor-in-chief Edwina McCann.

“Nicole really is world class with her craft and she takes on challenging films and challenging roles and she seems to do it in a really ego-less way,” McCann said.
“I really feel that Nicole is as close as we get to royalty — but in all the best ways.”
Of all the covers Kidman has done with Vogue over the years, one stands out.
Not long after the death of her dad Antony, the magazine asked the actor to go to Uluru for a photo shoot with her children and mum Janelle.
The trip to the Red Centre was life-changing.
“We had just lost my father and the idea of my mother and my daughters and me going to that place — it just seemed to come like a gift from the heavens,” Kidman said in Vogue Australia: Sixty Years Through The Lens, a one-hour documentary special examining the evolution of Vogue in Australia.
“It was just an incredibly profound experience. Uluru is also deeply spiritual and I think you leave the place changed. I now have all these photos that will probably be some of my favourite ever taken of me and my children.”
