Talented actress Nicole Kidman, 56, recently set the online sphere abuzz with her choice of attire at the Prime Video premiere of her series Expats.

The actress – who first shot to international stardom for her role in Days of Thunder – donned a sleek, figure-hugging black dress by Atelier Versace that featured a daring backless design, a high slit, and left ample skin on display on each side of her body.

Kidman accessorized the look with sparkling silver jewelry from Roberto Coin, complemented by rose-tinted makeup, and left her hair flowing loosely.As images of Kidman in her striking Versace dress began to circulate online, public reactions were pretty mixed – with people either loving or hating her look.

Some critics took issue with her appearance, with one social media user commenting on a pic posted by designer Roberto Coin on Instagram: “Not elegant at all… very disappointed with her choice. In her age, this is not the way to dress up.”

Another added that her look was “not feminine,” while a further individual remarked: “Omg, she is too thin; I love this woman and wish her the best, [I] just worry about her 😍❤️.”

Amid the negative comments, there were those who applauded Kidman’s fashion choice. Admirers were amazed by the beauty of the gown, with one comment reading: “The gown is beautiful” and another highlighting that Kidman’s “beauty is only matched by the stupendous Versace dress.”

A positive compliment read: “This is the best I[‘ve] ever seen in a long time.”
