Yahoo Lifestyle The Internet Has Discovered Nicole Kidman’s Getty Images Catalogue, And Here’s Why Everyone’s Obsessed
Nicole Kidman has stepped back into the limelight to promote the new A24 erotic thriller Babygirl – and she’s looking as radiant as ever.
The Academy Award-winning star has had an incredibly storied career, with her performance in Babygirl most recently earning her a number of accolades, including a Golden Globe nomination.
But Nicole is currently a hot topic online, not only for her stunning recent performance but also for something one X user declared held more value than one of the world’s most important archives.
This week, a post on X went viral that read, “nicole kidman’s getty images catalogue is more important than the library of congress.” And on my honor as a pop culture journalist, I’d like to verify this statement as 100% accurate.
The post prompted users online to share their favorite Nicole Getty snaps, and there were some incredible contenders. I’ve rounded up some of the best ones so we can all bask in the glory that is candid Nicole Kidman. Enjoy!
