Nicole Kidman joined Keith Urban at the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards, which were held on Sunday in Las Vegas, Nevada.
There was a time when she wore nothing but L’Wren Scott, but after a long break she attended this event wearing a look from her stylist’s Fall 2012 collection.
Her simple fitted sleeveless dress with a shirt collar and a sheer yoke was accessorized with Cartier jewels and a small black clutch.
Nicole’s chic look was complete with sleek straight hair and a pop of colour via her L’Wren Scott poppy-red strappy sandals.
Which look do you prefer?
Runway or red carpet?

The runway version, but it would have been too much for someone who was there only to support her husband, so I understand Nicole’s choice.
She looks beautiful in this clean and simple look.
i prefer nicole’s version. elegant and tres chic

+1 I like how it isn’t shiny as it is on the model. Nicole looks nice, though it is a bit lowkey for the event. I think I would have preferred her shoes to be silver.
love the red carpet look!!haven’t see her look this good for a long time.
I think I prefer Nicole’s styling because I like her hair and earrings very much, but for once I would have preferred if she’d worn her shoes black.
Yes I do think the black ones on the model would be better choice.
Definitely red carpet. The runway version looks cheap and fussy.
Additionally, Nicole’s shoes bring a needed touch of fun.
I do wish she would do something else with her hair.
red carpet
She looks good – chic – in a way this safe look is flawless with the simple dress, clean hairstyle, nice and discreet jewelry and a pop of colour in the shoes – well done
I totally agree. I think she looks great–very classy.
+1
This is horribly frumpy. Even though it is a slim fit dress, it is doing nothing for her. She looks like an Adams Family member.
I like this, the simplicity works. I think the collar works on her personally.
I am correct when I say Nicole’s dress is a different material to the runway? The runway version I believe is a bit of a disaster.
yes the runway is satin, I believe Nicole’s is crepe or wool
nicole does it so much better!
Please Nicole, go back to wearing Jean Paul Gautier! You’re a world-class actress, not a secretary!
this made me LOL
+ 1!!! Exactly. This is an extremely boring look.
+1
Simply but amazing!
Red carpet version. She looks beautiful.
For the supporting role she is there to play, she looks perfect – very chic and the fit is spot on which I always appreciate. The strappy red shoes add the right lift to the whole look….
I like that Nicole dares to make it her own, so I prefer the look on her.
She looks really pretty.
Rec carpet. It is simple, yet, chic and elegant. And she was there to support her husband, so she gets extra points for looing appropriated.
Looks like she’s back to her L’Wren Scott maid dresses. So boring, so terrible.
I feel like she’s worn this dress before…
Nicole was perfect. She is so beautiful and the dress and the shoes were exactly right. Love it all.
I love that clutch bag. Can someone please ID the label? Thanks.
Nice and sleek. Very chic look.
Definitely runway look for me. Nicole Kidman looks more of a mother, whose going to PTA meeting. She can do so much better, especially for an award event!
But still, that doesn’t mean it’s bad. She could just turn up the volume.
I miss those moments when she’s still together with Chanel …….
runway..by far
