Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s adopted daughter, Bella, shared a rare social media snap of herself this week.

The rarely-photographed artist, 30, showed off her nose ring as she smouldered at the camera while reflecting on the last few months of the year, reports Page Six.

“What a summer,” she captioned the photo, which was shared to her Instagram Story.

Bella, the eldest child of the Hollywood stars, wore a lacy sheer blouse over a black top and accessorised with a chic black beret.

She also rocked a fresh face of makeup, opting for just a light swipe of mascara on her eyelashes, a touch of blush on her cheeks, and bushy brushed-up brows.

Bella topped off her look with a red lip.

Bella also shared an Instagram video of an ocean sunset, captioning the post, “In my element.”

The illustrator, who often uses her social media account to share her abstract masterpieces, tends to keep a low profile – but does like to switch up her ‘do.

In March, she surprised followers when she debuted her new choppy haircut in another rare selfie on Instagram.

Bella is known for experimenting with different hairstyles, from dying her hair blond or red to rocking a chic bob or a short fringe.

The designer, who launched a clothing line in 2018 and lives in London with husband Max Parker, rarely shares glimpses of her personal life and steers clear of high-profile events.

Tom, 61, and Kidman, 56, adopted Bella and her brother Connor, 28, during their 11-year marriage. The Big Little Lies actor and Top Gun star divorced in 2001.

Kidman has previously addressed Bella and Connor’s decision to follow in their father’s footsteps and practice Scientology, sharing that she is supportive.

“They are adults,” the actress said in a 2018 interview with Who magazine.

“They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them. And I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe – that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I’m open here.”

Kidman and Cruise adopted Connor and Bella when the children were very young.

After her split from Tom, Kidman married Keith Urban, 55, in 2006 and the couple welcomed two daughters: Sunday, 15, and Faith, 12. Kidman gave birth to Sunday in 2008 and welcomed Faith via surrogate two years later.

Rumours have swirled for years that Bella is estranged from her parents, though she shut down the rumours in 2016.

“Of course [we talk], they’re my parents,” Bella told New Idea of her relationship with Tom and Kidman, adding that anyone who believes the gossip is “full of s**t.”

However, she added fuel to the fire when she only thanked her youngest daughters during her awards show acceptance speeches in 2017 and 2018.

But all seemed fine when Kidman thanked “all” her children while accepting her 2018 Critics’ Choice award.

Meanwhile, Tom seems to maintain a good relationship with Connor as the father-son duo joined forces at the actor’s New York City promotional event for Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning in July.

The Jerry Maguire actor also shares daughter Suri, 17, with ex-wife Katie Holmes, whom he was married to from 2006 to 2012.
