The siren has already walked in a Balenciaga show in a silver gown this year, but posing for print ads for the brand takes her to a whole other level.

In the past she has modeled before for Chanel perfume Chanel No 5, appearing in print ads and TV commercials, but she did not model for Chanel fashion.

This comes just as it was announced she will receive the American Film Institute (AFI) Life Achievement Award.

Kathleen Kennedy, Chair of the AFI Board of Trustees, said: ‘Nicole Kidman has enchanted audiences for decades with the daring of her artistry and the glamour of a screen icon.

‘She is a force both brave in her choices and bold in each performance. AFI is honoured to present her with the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award.’
