Nicole Kidman looked gorgeous in gold as she premiered her new film Babygirl at the Venice Film Festival in a Schiaparilli gown.

The detailing of the dress was classic Schiaparelli, with the boning creating a stunning butterfly effect on the neckline.

Babygirl follows Nicole's high-powered CEO who puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern.

It also stars Harris Dickinson and Antonio Banderas, and she was joined by the pair at the red carpet as well as director Halina Reijn, but her family, who have been by her side in recent months, were absent.

The actress, 57, splits her time between her homes in Sydney, Nashville, and New York with husband Keith Urban and daughters Sunday and Faith.

Ahead of the festival she sat down for a conversation with L'Officiel where she discussed constantly being on the move, and how it has allowed her to bond with her daughters.

"I'm willing to travel, which a lot of people are not," she told the outlet. "My kids are willing to travel… maybe less so now [that they're older], but they're very interested in the world, too."

"They say they've got so many stamps on their passport, more than most people that are in their eighties," Nicole continued. "That's because when they were little, they lived in Morocco and then we went to the Algerian Desert, where they were riding camels and in the souks for three and a half months."

She added: "They've lived in France, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Asia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, all over."

"They've been out, I've been taking them out at different times individually. And it's been great to have them out on the bus," Keith once said of having his girls on the tour bus.
