The Oscar winner, 46, stepped out for the annual event by the American Film Institute on Saturday, April 27 with her husband Keith Urban and their daughters Sunday, 15, and Faith, 13. And she looked every inch the Hollywood icon on the night, wearing a glamorous custom Balenciaga look from the Fall '24 collection. The fitted gown was embroidered with gold sequins and featured a long train. Kidman teamed the showstopper look with black pumps, also from Balenciaga. Her long, strawberry blonde hair was styled in a side part with loose waves framing her face and she opted for elegant glam, with a gentle smokey eye, rose blush and a soft pink lip.
