Nicole Kidman holds hands with husband Keith Urban at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Texas
Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban were a stylish duo when they arrived Thursday at the 58th Academy Of Country Music Awards in Frisco, Texas.
The Cold Mountain star, 55, went shirtless under a glittering beaded copper suit, which she paired with strappy black heels.
The actress wore her long strawberry locks that were parted to the side and fell over her shoulders in a straight style.
Meanwhile, the 55-year-old country crooner — to whom she’s been married for 17 years — also took the plunge and went shirtless in a black suit and matching cardigan.
The beloved duo tenderly held hands as they posed together on the red carpet at the event, which this year is hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks.

As far as glamour, Tom Cruise’s ex-wife opted to match her suit, sporting a light copper eyeshadow.
The star further accentuated her natural beauty with a touch of blush and pink lipstick on her pout.
She added a touch of bling to her look with a layer of gold chains.
Keith spoke about his marriage to Nicole ahead of the ACM Awards, saying that juggling his career with his personal life isn’t always easy.
The Blue Ain’t Your Color hitmaker said what works for them is making sure “it’s always family first.”
“It’s balanced, so it means sometimes it gets unbalanced, and we just balance it back.” It’s never perfectly balanced, but we’re getting it back on track,” he said Fox News digital.
Urban will open the country awards show with his hit Texas Time, and he told the publication his performance will feature a special instrument.
“So the guitar I have is a leather-bound 1950s Fender Broadcaster that used to belong to Waylon Jennings. He had it all through the ’70s and ’80s,’ he said.
“I ended up getting that guitar from my wife because I’m a huge Waylon fan, and this is the perfect place to get that guitar out and play.”

The ACMs will be broadcast from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, and viewers at home can watch it on Amazon Prime Video — even without a subscription — and on Twitch’s Amazon Music Channel.
Two country superstars whose appeal transcends genre boundaries – Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks – host the ceremony.
“While I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with him over the years, I can’t believe we never had the chance to work together,” Parton said of Brooks in a statement shared after she was announced as host.
Unfortunately, fans probably won’t see the legendary entertainers duet, though Parton will still perform.
‘I think [Brooks’ wife] Trisha [Yearwood] will also be featured on the show, so I thought I wouldn’t mess with that,” Parton joked to reporters at a press event. “I don’t want her kicking my little ass!”
HARDY leads the nominations this year with seven, while Lainey Wilson is close behind with six nominations.
Country stars Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert and Cole Swindell also scored five nominations each.
The top prize for Entertainer of the Year goes to Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood or Morgan Wallen.

Wallen was engulfed in controversy in 2021 after he was caught on video drunkenly shouting the N-word. In response, his record deal was suspended and some radio stations stopped playing his music, while streaming services removed his songs from playlists.
However, country fans reacted to his use of racial slurs by purchasing his 2021 album Dangerous: The Double Album in even greater numbers.
Lambert is the most awarded person ever at the ACM Awards, and she broke the record for most Female Artist of the Year nominations with her 17th this year, surpassing Reba McEntire’s 16.
Performers at Thursday’s ceremony include Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Ashley McBryde, Jo Dee Messina, Jelly Roll, Cole Swindell, Keith Urban, Morgan Wallen, The War And Treaty, Lainey Wilson and Bailey Zimmerman.
He’s best known for his hit pop songs, but Ed Sheeran will also bring his smooth sound to the rough show.
Before her performance, Parton will debut World On Fire, the first track on her upcoming album Rockstar.
The cover’s LP is a departure for her, marking her first rock album, and it was inspired after she was nominated – and subsequently inducted – into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
