Nicole Kidman attended a special screening of “Expats” held in Sydney on Wednesday. The “Eyes Wide Shut” actress graced the screening alongside her husband Keith Urban.
For the special screening, Kidman wore a pair of neutral and sleek suede pumps. The Australian actor’s footwear featured sharp triangular toes and textural suede uppers that offered the footwear a dynamic appearance. 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels rounded out the set, offering Kidman a substantial boost in height.

The footwear’s neutral composition made the silhouette exceedingly versatile. For this application, however, the pair acted to finish off Kidman’s ensemble cohesively, coordinating with her equally neutral designer wears. Pumps, no matter the style or composition, are a closet staple for many stars, Kidman included.

Accompanying her neutral footwear, Kidman was outfitted in a skin-tone corsetted gown from Fendi. The couture gown featured a structural strapless bodice that transitioned into lush draping that sat to one side just above her hip and a striking slit that traveled up the length of her leg. For the finishing touches, Kidman wore various dazzling gold jewelry that provided extra shine to her look.
