At the age of 55, Nicole Kidman turns to modeling! The Oscar winner poses for Balenciaga… 32 years after her acting career took off with Days Of Thunder
Nicole Kidman is now working as a fashion model in a massive new campaign.
The 55-year-old Australian Oscar-winning actress – who rose to fame 32 years ago opposite Tom Cruise in Days Of Thunder – shared two images on Instagram of her posing for high-end couture brand Balenciaga for their Spring 2023 campaign.
Several stars have represented the brand this year, including reality TV sensation Kim Kardashian.

The red-headed Big Little Lies star was spotted in a high-rise building wearing spring clothes. Kidman looked more like a worker bee than a glamorous movie star.
The Siren has already walked in a Balenciaga show this year in a silver dress, but posing for print ads for the brand takes her to a whole other level.
In the past, she has previously modeled for Chanel perfume Chanel No 5, and appeared in print ads and TV commercials, but she did not model for Chanel fashion.
This comes just as it was announced that she will receive the Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute (AFI).

The 55-year-old actress will receive the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award, the highest award for a film career, to celebrate her career achievements to date.
Kathleen Kennedy, Chair of the AFI Board of Trustees, said: ‘Nicole Kidman has captivated audiences for decades with the boldness of her artistry and the glamor of a movie icon.
“She is a force that is both courageous in her choices and courageous in every performance. AFI is honored to present her with the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award.”

Kidman, a five-time Academy Award nominee, will receive the award at a Gala Tribute at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 10, 2023, becoming the first Australian to receive the honour.
Kidman won an Oscar for Best Actress in 2003 for her turn as Virginia Woolf in “The Hours,” for which she also won the Berlin Film Festival’s Silver Bear.
She has also become known for her role as Alice Harford in ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ and Satine in ‘Moulin Rouge’, as well as Grace Margaret Mulligan in ‘Dogville’.
