Hollywood's favorite babygirl has finally made her glamorous arrival at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards. As the marketing for her new erotic thriller put it, "This Christmas, get exactly what you want," and I asked Santa for a slew of stunning Nicole Kidman red carpet looks. It looks like I was also a good girl this year, because the superstar has been serving all awards season long—and this show is no exception.

While Kidman received a nod at the Golden Globes for Babygirl and is garnering lots of Oscar buzz, she is actually not nominated for her work in the Halina Reijn-director movie tonight. Instead, she is up for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in Lioness. But either way, she dressed like a winner (as always).
Kidman's ensemble was nothing short of fierce, as she touched down in the Barker Hangar at Santa Monica airport wearing a look that her Babygirl character would have worn to the office. Her method dressing attire included a slouchy menswear-inspired khaki suit that was worn open to show a striped light blue dress shirt and a black polka-dotted tie underneath. Kidman, who rolled up her sleeves to give the office-ready look a more casual vibe, accessorized with black leather loafers, a watch, and gold bracelets with matching rings.
As for beauty, the Big Little Lies actress wore her long blonde hair down in soft middle-parted waves and subtly accentuated her features with mascara and a peach lip.

Viewers will just have to wait and see if Kidman ends up taking home a golden trophy, but she might as well go ahead and claim best dressed right now for this ensemble. Fans are, of course, just lucky to see the ceremony unfold at all. The 30th annual show was postponed from January 12 due to the devastating Los Angeles fires.

Then, she had a sartorial 180 in an opera-ready black Armani Prive gown. The centerpiece featured a strapless velvet bodice, a wide satin waist detail, and a poofy, floor-grazing pleated ballgown skirt covered in dozens of small black gems. She accented the look with equally opulent accessories via shimmery diamond bracelets, a smattering of diamond rings, and large diamond stud earrings. She glammed up with radiant, rosy makeup and styled her golden blonde locks in a bouncy, side-parted blowout.
