Nicole Kidman showed off a bolder side of her style at a red-carpet event in London.
Kidman, 56, attended the launch event for "Special Ops: Lioness," the new Paramount+ show she stars in alongside Zoe Saldaña, on Tuesday.
Saldaña stars in the series as a CIA operative in the organization's Lioness program, which Kidman's character heads.
Kidman opted to wear a daring look for her red-carpet appearance, arriving in a black dress designed by Saint Laurent.
The chiffon gown had a halter neckline, which was accented by an oversized, black rosette that sat below her neck.
A large cutout created a diamond on the bodice, exposing most of Kidman's abdomen. Only two swaths of fabric on her chest provided coverage.
The gown's skirt sat high on her waist, hugging her figure before flowing out slightly around her ankles.
A ribbon of semi-sheer fabric also cascaded from the back of one of her shoulders, creating a train.
Kidman paired the look with elbow-length gloves made of sheer, black fabric, leaning into a trend that's been dominating red carpets in recent months.
Sparkly earrings, a casual ponytail, and open-toe heels completed the look.
She posed with Saldaña on the red carpet, who wore a leather and checker-print dress styled by Petra Flannery.
Kidman's evening attire was a stark departure from the look she wore to a photocall for "Special Ops: Lioness" during the day on Tuesday.
Her gray ensemble from Ferragamo consisted of a blazer, tapered pants, and black heels.
Kidman wore her hair down, lending a relaxed vibe to her professional look.
She again posed with Saldaña during the photo call.
The pair held hands and leaned their heads together in one shot, grinning as their hair blew in the wind.
Kidman and Saldaña shared a joint Instagram post of the photo, captioning the shot, "on tour."
"Special Ops: Lioness" premieres on July 23 on Paramount+.
