Nicole Kidman glams it up with very classy monochrome ensemble during premiere of her latest series Expats – after becoming the first Australian to receive AFI’s Life Achievement Award

Nicole Kidman made sure all eyes were on Sunday night when she stepped out in a classic monochrome ensemble for the premiere of her series Expats.

The Australian actor and producer, 56, wowed at the Emmy FYC event in Los Angeles wearing a Versace outfit that has yet to hit shelves.

Stepping out at NYA West, the Hollywood veteran, who recently received the AFI’s Life Achievement Award, looked like a classic beauty in a sheer button-down collar.

She put on a black shirt under the see-through dress, which she combined with very tight trousers for the occasion.

The Big Little Lies star threw her golden locks back into a loose bun before enhancing her age features with a natural lip and blush color.

Nicole seemed to be all smiles after receiving the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award the night before.

The Nine Perfect Strangers star looked statuesque in a sparkling gold Balenciaga dress as she received the prestigious award from 2004 winner Meryl Streep.

Accompanied by husband Keith Urban and their daughters, Sunday and Faith, Nicole became emotional during the ceremony and admitted she was “deeply moved.”

Taking to Instagram with a photo from the stage, she wrote: “Deeply moved by all the support around the world that I have seen and heard.

“Thank you to all of you and to the @AmericanFilmInstitute for including me in this illustrious group of honorees – now let’s have some fun!”

Nicole’s The Hours co-star Meryl, 74, brought her to tears as she praised the Moulin Rouge star’s talents and explained what she thought motivated her.

She said, “People call it courage when an actress bares it all and jumps into the unknown and dives deep into the dark parts of what it is to be human.” But I don’t think it’s courage. I think it’s love. I think she just loves it.”

Nicole broke down again when her husband took to the stage with a moving speech, saying she showed him “what love in action really looks like” when his substance abuse problems came to the fore after they tied the knot in 2006.

Looking at his wife as they sat with their two daughters and family, the 56-year-old singer recalled, “Four months after our wedding, I’m in rehab for three months.

“Nic has endured every negative voice, even her own, I’m sure, and she has chosen love. And here we are 18 years later,” causing Nicole to wipe a tear from her face.
