Nicole Kidman reveals her insanely ripped physique and huge biceps as she poses for…

Nicole Kidman has caused a serious stir with her latest magazine shoot, which sees her proudly flexing her ripped biceps and flaunting her toned abs while posing in a micro mini skirt and crop top.  

Looking decades younger than her 55 years, the Oscar-winning actress and mother-of-four struck an incredibly strong stance while posing for the cover of Perfect magazine – which hails Nicole as ‘the perfect icon’.  

Standing with her fists raised and her biceps flexed, the actress also revealed her perfectly chiseled legs in the shoot, posing in a micro mini Diesel skirt that could well be mistaken for a belt, as well as a form-fitting halterneck shirt by the same brand. 

Injecting even more funky flare to the shoot, Nicole eschewed her signature blonde waves in favor of a blunt orange-red ‘do that featured a blunt bob framing her face, while long straight strands hung around her shoulders and down her back. 

The cover photo was one of a series of avant-garde images taken by photographer Zhong Lin for the third issue of Perfect magazine, which celebrates pop culture’s greatest icons 

Nicole is the picture of confidence in the image, staring down the camera with a striking pout as the photographer snapped away.

It comes just months after The Hours actress raised eyebrows by baring her torso in a Miu Miu micro skirt and crop top on the cover of Vanity Fair’s February issue. 

Social media trolls panned the image, accusing the magazine of Photoshopping Nicole’s physique and complexion. 

Others claimed the photo shoot was too raunchy for a woman of Nicole’s age and professional stature. 

Speaking in conversation with Baz Luhrmann for Vogue Australia’s June issue, Nicole revealed she’d actually ‘begged’ magazine stylist Katie Grand to let her wear the fashion house’s pleated mini low-rise skirt.

Nicole explained another outfit had been picked out for her, but she’d insisted on wearing the barely there number.

‘I was like, “No, no, I like this one! Am I allowed to wear that?”‘ she recalled, adding that Ms Grand had to ask whether she was serious.

Nicole continued: ‘Katie was like, “You’re willing to wear that?!” And I said, “Wear it?! I’m begging you to wear it!”‘

Needless to say, the actress makes clear her stance on ‘age-appropriate’ ensembles with her latest cover shoot, which features an even bolder fashion look – and which was accompanied by a striking series of images inside the magazine’s pages. 

One such image sees Nicole – who has two adopted children with ex Tom Cruise and two biological children with her husband Keith Urban – showing off her toned legs once again in a black long-sleeved body suit, which she modeled with enormous latex thigh-high boots. 

The on-screen star has a number of projects currently in the works, including the upcoming Aquaman sequel, which will see her once again sharing the screen with Jason Momoa. The project has wrapped filming and is due for release in 2023. 

Nicole is also currently working on an untitled romantic comedy for Netflix, as well as a TV series called Expats, which is described as being a ‘look at the personal and professional lives of a tight-knit group of expatriates living in Hong Kong’.
