Nicole Kidman Rocks the 2012 Golden Globes Red Carpet, Plus Her Best Looks of the Past

Confident and fashionable more often than not, Nicole Kidman didn't disappoint when she hit the red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globes on January 15. The actress was all class, elegance and style in a stunning neutral-colored Versace gown emblazoned with rows of gold accents. She wore her famous red locks long and loose, and paired the ensemble with understated Fred Leighton bling and a gold clutch by Roger Vivier . Although some would shy away from cloaking light skin in a pale frock, the look worked in Kidman's favor by allowing her blue eyes to pop like never before, and maybe it was just the magic of the day, but her skin never looked more clear and beautiful. In honor of the actress' best dressed celeb candidacy, here's a look back at other looks she's used to rock the red carpet. 2007 Oscars Kidman stood out from the crowd in a bright red Balenciaga gown and Bottega Veneta clutch at the 2007 Oscars.

Nicole Kidman plays Ernest Hemingway muse in HBO biopic

Image
Nicole Kidman won an Oscar for playing a famous writer with a chaotic private life. Now she's found another such character. In "Hemingway & Gellhorn," an HBO movie coming this spring, the Australian-born actress plays Martha Gellhorn, the pioneering war correspondent who became the muse and third wife of Ernest Hemingway. For Kidman, there were some parallels with her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in the Academy Award-winning feature "The Hours." "It was kind of a necessity in the journey of my career to find these women and tell their stories," Kidman, 44, told reporters Friday morning at the TV press tour in Pasadena. "I love these women that defy the odds and burn bright." Gellhorn was a globe-trotting war correspondent at a time when such jobs were almost exclusively the province of men. "She didn't believe in being objective as a journalist; she believed in having an opinion," Kidman said. Hemingway, who is played by Brit...

Nicole Kidman: Im boring

Nicole Kidman has admitted that she is boring. The 44-year-old actress says shes not considered fun anymore because she no longer drinks alcohol. The Oscar winners husband Keith Urban has had a well-publicised battle with alcohol abuse and the couple have two young children; Sunday Rose, three, and 13-month-old Faith Margaret. I dont drink alcohol, Nicole confessed at the Golden Globes last night. See how boring I am? Ill have sparkling water tonight. Nicole would also want to keep a clear head for her work as a UN Goodwill Ambassador to help injustices against women around the world. I grew up in a family of mostly women and I was raised by a feminist mother, who educated me at an early age about the atrocities committed against women, she explained to InStyle recently. [UN Women] focuses on eradicating that violence and its a perfect fit for me, because I strongly believe that by helping women, were helping families.

Nicole Kidman admits she's "boring"

Speaking at the Golden Globes last night (15.01.12), the mother-of-four - whose husband Keith Urban has a history of alcohol abuse - said: "I don't drink alcohol. See how boring I am? I'll have sparking water tonight." While many may think she's boring, Nicole was probably being sensible as she has two young daughters - Sunday Rose, three, and 13-month-old Faith Margaret - to look after. The 44-year-old beauty - who also has adopted children, Isabella, 19, and 16-year-old Connor with ex-husband Tom Cruise - recently said she can't stop kissing Faith, who was born in December 2010 via a gestational carrier. She said: "She's divine, she's growing and an absolute little bundle of yumminess. I can't stop kissing her!" Nicole also said she thinks her life has got richer since she became a mother. She said: "I love every stage, I just love raising children. They bring so much to your life!"

OFFSTAGE: Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman: Worst Dressed?

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Photo Credit: Jason Merritt/Getty Images ( CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.) Keith Urban looks nothing like Ellen DeGeneres, so I didn't even think Joan Rivers' cruel little joke about that on her Fashion Police show on the E! network was funny. And after that joke, things just went from bad to worse when she was critiquing Urban and Nicole Kidman's Golden Globes styles. "He frizzes her hair, which is why she now keeps her body temperature at 50 degrees," Rivers said. Both were wearing Versace and wearing it well: Kidman in a perfectly studded, clingy champagne halter dress and Urban in a tuxedo with a black necktie. Kelly Osbourne had the nerve to say Kidman "could even be a worst-dressed nominee." Only the always-classy Giuliana Rancic had nice things to say. "I think the dress itself is stunning. It's a be...

While Australian personalities Nicole Kidman and her country music star husband Keith Urban garnered all the attention in the stands between periods at the Wesbild Centre in Vernon on Friday, it was much lesser known Garrett Rockafellow who stole the show on the ice. Fitting for Rockafellow, a country music fan from Crossfield, Alta., who left the home side Vernon Vipers singing a hurtin song. Yeah, I heard they were in the building so I poked my head out at the end of the game, but they were already gone, said Rockafellow, the Victoria Grizzlies netminder who turned in a second straight solid effort. This time it was a 4-3 victory over the three-time defending B.C. Hockey League champion Vipers.

He was outstanding, said Grizzlies assistant coach Victor Gervais. He kept us in the game in the first period. Mike Mora...
