Nicole Kidman graced the cover of Australian Vogue magazine looks brighter than ever.
The Australian actress, 56, fronted the fashion bible’s February issue in a racy editorial photographed by Steven Klein, wearing nothing but sheer lace lingerie and a black hose wrapped around her shoulders.
Looking every inch a Hollywood rock star, Nicole completed her edgy ensemble with red-rimmed sunglasses, chunky diamond rings and a gothic manicure with black tips.
She also wore her blonde hair in loose waves and painted her lips with a bright gloss as she struck a daring open-mouth pose.
Her wild editorial photoshoot was accompanied by an equally surprising interview in which she reflected on her rough teenage years.

The mother-of-two, who recently said she feels “sexier than ever,” told the magazine she remembers sneaking into nightclubs in her youth.

Nicole also recalled being dragged out of nightclubs by her late father Antony in the early hours.
‘People would say, “Who is that?” And it would be my father who would show up and drag me home,” she mused.
‘I’m grateful for that now. There were always those two things happening where I was like, “I want to be wild!” And then I would have a strong family and a nourishing home. I probably still have those two parts in my personality.’
