Nicole Kidman had a night to remember, basking in pride and celebration as she received the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, on Saturday, April 27. Decked out in a jaw-dropping gold Balenciaga dress that could light up the room, the Big Little Lies icon ensured all eyes were on her.
The curve-hugging gown had a long train which she held with one hand while posing for pictures. With her signature blonde locks elegantly styled in a side part and sporting a luscious glossy pink lip, Kidman was ready to shine on her big night.
According to AFI’s website, the award recognizes individuals “whose career in motion pictures has greatly contributed to the enrichment of American Culture.”
