Nicole Kidman looked incredibly youthful while cozying up to her husband Keith Urban at the star-studded 57th Annual CMA Awards in Nashville on Wednesday.
The Moulin Rouge actress, 56, and the Making Memories Of Us hitmaker, also 56, were a glamorous duo on the red carpet as they joined other celebrities – including Kelsea Ballerini – at the Bridgestone Arena.
The Oscar winner turned heads wearing a very plunging black dress with large cutouts around her taut waist.
The hem of the dress reached to the floor and partially covered the closed black pumps she wore with the eye-catching outfit.
She easily carried a fashionable black handbag in her hand to store some items she would need during the ceremony.
