Nicole Kidman stole the show in a stunning shoot for the coveted Vanity Fair Hollywood issue, alongside Idris Elba and Kristen Stewart.
The Being the Ricardos actress, 54, looked incredible as she donned a grey Miu Miu crop-top and a matching micro-skirt in the snaps, showing off her stomach.
She posed in front of a manicured lawn and yellow gates – with a Hollywood sign in the background – completing the instantly iconic outfit with grey socks and sandals.
To say we’re in awe is a total understatement.
And we weren’t the only ones as fans couldn’t get enough of her cover look, and flocked to Twitter to praise the star.
‘That Nicole Kidman cover is soooooo good,’ one commented.

Another agreed: ‘MISS NICOLE. I was not ready for the slayification.’
‘She’s slaying omfg,’ a follower said, as an Instagram user wrote: ‘Nicole Kidman has never not been the BLUEPRINT.’
‘B***h, I had to check my calendar to make sure I didn’t wake up in 2002. She ATE THIS UP,’ a follower yelled.
Well, they’re not wrong.

In the accompanying interview, Nicole opened up about taking on the role of Lucille Ball for the upcoming flick, and said: ‘Aaron Sorkin wrote her as the smartest person in the room, because she was.
‘A lot of times, particularly as a woman, if you’re smart, there’s a lot of apology.’
Despite being a staple of the big screen, thanks to roles in Australia, Moulin Rouge!, Eyes Wide Shut and Practical Magic, she also shied away from describing herself as a movie star.
‘I’m in a state of just being willing to go with the flow,’ she told the publication. ‘I’m just still in that place of going, “I’m not quite sure what defines a movie star”.

‘My job is to stay feeling-centric, and emotional, and committed, and interested, and a seeker.’
Nicole was joined in the Hollywood issue by Andrew Garfield, Simi Liu, Michaela Jae Rodriguez, Penelope Cruz, Benedict Cumberbatch, as well as Idris and Kristen.
For the first time in history, all eight Hollywood titans graced their very own solo cover as well as taking part in the traditional joint shoot.
Idris took the opportunity and ran with it, relaxing in a pink convertible turned swimming pool, while still wearing a black and gold patterned outfit.
As one does…

Spencer actress Kristen lay on what appeared to be a diving board, with the city lights twinkling below her – in a similar vein to Andrew, who dangled from a hook above and still managed to look fabulous in a pink suit.
His Tick, Tick… Boom! co-star Michaela commanded attention by getting up, close and personal with a tiger as Penelope became a work of art in her solo snap, clutching a paintbrush as she lounged across a painting, while
Simi continued the pink theme in a similar suit of his own, and could be seen leaping over the streets of Hollywood, as Benedict went in a slightly different direction for his cover, posing in a very wet shite T-shirt as swans surrounded him.
The Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue is available via digital download and on newsstands on February 25.
