Nicole Kidman couldn't be more thrilled to be on the Met Gala carpet once again, her first appearance since 2016, and she was joined by her husband Keith Urban.
The two couldn't keep their hands off each other on the cream carpet, surrounded by photographers as they leaned in to kiss each other and whisper and giggle.

The theme for this year's Met Gala is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," a tribute to the legendary fashion designer and figure who revolutionized the brands Chanel, Fendi, Chloé, Balmain, Patou, and of course his own eponymous brand.
It had earlier been announced that Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour are acting as the co-chairs of the 2023 event, with some of them having already made their appearances on the carpet, check them out here.
