Nicole Kidman embraces old Hollywood glamour at the 4th Annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles – days after her mother’s funeral in Australia


Nicole Kidman was the definition of old Hollywood glamour on Sunday when she attended the 4th Annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles. 

The Australian actress, 57, looked every inch the timeless beauty as she posed on the red carpet at the event held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.

The Babygirl star wowed in a floor-length black gown that featured an exposed back segment, an elegant train and long black gloves that snaked up her lithe arms. 

Nicole kept her accessories to a minimum for the star-studded event, opting to add a gold watch and statement earrings to her classic ensemble. 

She wore her blonde locks parted and tied back, adding height with a ’60s style backcomb. 

The gala honoured veteran Rita Moreno, Gladiator II star Paul Mescal and Pulp Fiction director Quentin Tarantino.

Nicole’s red carpet appearance comes just days after her beloved mother Janelle’s funeral in Australia.

The actress had returned to her native Sydney to join her family, including her younger sister Antonia, to say a final goodbye to her mother.

Janelle died at the age of 84 in September – just hours before Nicole was awarded the Best Actress gong for her role in Babygirl at the Venice Film Festival.

Nicole and her husband Keith Urban attended Janelle’s funeral at St Francis Xavier Church with their two daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14.

Nicole’s older children Bella and Connor, who she adopted with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, did not appear to be in attendance at the service.

They joined Nicole’s sister Antonia and her kids Lucia, 26, Hamish, 23, and Sybella Hawley, 17, who she shares with her late husband Angus Hawley.

Antonia shares another son, James, with Angus – who died in April 2015 from a suspected heart attack – while she went on to welcome two more sons, Nicholas and Alexander, with her second husband Craig Marran.

The Kidman family were joined by close friends at the intimate service including Channel Nine star Richard Wilkins, 69, and his make-up artist girlfriend Mia Hawkswell, 47.

Australian TV presenter Peter Overton, his wife Jessica Rowe and their daughters Allegra and Giselle were also in attendance.

The Overton and Kidman-Urban clan have shared a close relationship over the years, even ringing in the New Year together at the famous family’s multimillion-dollar North Sydney penthouse on January 1, 2023. 

Peter also acted as a pallbearer at Nicole’s father Antony’s funeral on September 19, 2014, which was held at the same church as Janelle’s service.

Antony died from a suspected heart attack in Singapore at the age of 75, and the Kidmans said goodbye to him in a more public funeral, with many famous names including Russell Crowe paying their respects.
