Nicole dazzles on red carpet ( 2003-12-09 10:32) (Agencies)
Nicole Kidman last night took
her first steps on the first of many red carpets rolled out around the world to
promote her latest film, Cold Mountain.
Nicole Kidman at
the glamorous premiere in Los Angeles.
Dressed
in a funky pantsuit with a wrap-around jacket exposing a hint of midriff, Kidman
kicked off the publicity campaign at the Mann Theatre in Los Angeles.
While the jewels she wore draped around her neck looked like the sort Lenny
Kravitz would dig, there was no sign of the groovemeister - who is her current
flame.
Others who turned out for the glamorous affair included director Anthony
Minghella and Kidman's co-stars Jude Law, Renee Zellweger, Natalie Portman and
Kathy Baker.
Zellweger certainly looks to have immersed herself in the role of Bridget
Jones for the upcoming sequel, due for release next year.
The petite actress famously beefed up for the role on doughnuts and pizza
before shedding it, then having to chow down again for the sequel.
Her efforts at changing shape for a role make Robert de Niro and Eric Bana
look like lightweights.
But she has certainly been making the most of her enhanced assets, squeezing
herself into a black strapless number.
Zellweger and Law are not travelling to Sydney for the premiere next week,
leaving the red carpet duties to Kidman and Minghella.
They'll attend the black-tie premiere at the State Theatre and special
after-party at the Sheraton on the Park on December 17.
