She is up for Best Actress at this year’s Oscars for her role as Lucille Ball in Being The Ricardos, and Nicole Kidman was certainly best dressed at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The 54-year-old actress looked absolutely breathtaking in a custom Giorgio Armani Privé pale blue strapless bustier gown as she stepped on the red carpet at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood with her husband Keith Urban.
She teamed the form-fitting dress with stunning Harry Winston diamond jewels – including an intricate collar necklace with a rare yellow diamond.

Nicole’s glamorous long gown featured a peplum waist as well as a long train embellished with jewels.

Nicole tied her locks in a low bun and wore a dramatic face of makeup consisting of a red lip, blush, eyeliner and foundation.
Meanwhile, Keith looked dapper in a Emporio Armani black tuxedo, white buttoned shirt, black bow tie and shiny black shoes as he lovingly gazed into Nicole’s eyes on the red carpet.

Back in February, Nicole was in tears upon hearing the news of her Oscar nomination for portrayal of Lucille Ball in in Being the Ricardos.
But she revealed that not all of her family members were impressed by the news during an interview on the US talk show The View.
She recalled the moment she began crying after getting a Facetime call informing her of the award nomination before her daughters Sunday Rose, 13, and Faith Margaret, 11, gave a less enthusiastic response to the news.
‘I’m like, whaaaat? I mean it’s like there was so much emotion attached to it that I didn’t realise I was carrying, and I just looked around, tears are coming down,’ Nicole said.

‘And my kids looked at me like, ‘Wow, congrats mum, anyway we’re going to be late, we gotta get going’.’
She told The Daily Telegraph that she broke down in tears after receiving the news.
‘I literally cried. I just can’t believe it,’ she said.
‘This was the hardest thing I have ever done and so I didn’t realise how much emotion I was holding on to.’

She added that: ‘The older you get, the sweeter and the more intense it is… I don’t know about getting more mellow because that is so not the case. I am elated.’
Nicole also shared a lengthy Instagram post thanking the Academy for recognising her hard work.
Uploading a series of photos of herself in character as Lucille, Nicole wrote: ‘WOW! I’m so overwhelmed… What a beautiful way to find out.
‘This was the hardest role I’ve ever done and to be honoured this way is deeply appreciated.
‘Lucille Ball is one of Hollywood’s greatest icons. She was ahead of her time. From actress to producer to studio head, mother and wife, she’s an extraordinary inspiration! Thank you Lucille Ball.’
Nicole thanked the cast and crew on the film, as well as director Aaron Sorkin, and said they all deserve the Oscars recognition.
Nicole has previously won Best Actress for The Hours at the 2003 Academy Awards.
Meanwhile, Nicole and Keith married on June 25, 2006, after meeting at an event in LA the previous year.
The couple tied the knot at the Cardinal Cerretti Chapel, on the grounds of St Patrick’s College in Manly, Sydney.
Nicole’s two adopted children, Isabella, 27, and Connor, 25, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise, acted as bridesmaid and usher respectively.
She and Keith later welcomed daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
Last month, Nicole revealed the secret to her happy marriage with the country musician.
‘We’re a mix. We’re very suited [for each other]. I’m incredibly lucky to have met him,’ the Oscar winner told CBS Mornings.
Nicole went on to describe Keith as ‘the best thing that’s ever happened to me’.
‘I met him later in life and it’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. That man is the best thing that’s ever happened to me,’ she said.
