Busy filming in her native Oz, Nicole Kidman appears to have taken her Hollywood wardrobe along with her, stepping out in a fabulous champagne satin and tulle number to a charity dinner in Sydney on Thursday.
She left behind, though, the skyscraper heels - her most prominent accessory during her marriage to Tom Cruise - in favour of flats.
The Cold Mountain star was helping fundraise for the White Ribbon Foundation which is supported by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) - for which she is a goodwill ambassador. It was at a UNIFEM event in May 2006 that Nicole revealed her date for the night - country music singer Keith Urban - was not in fact her boyfriend, but her fiancé. This time the lucky man on her arm was not her husband, but her dad Anthony, a biochemist and clinical physician.
When she finishes work on the outback epic Australia with co-star and good pal Hugh Jackman Nicole is apparently due to start filming in Berlin - where her ex-husband will still be lensing his movie Valkyrie. The German newspaper Bild reported she will start work on the film version of Bernard Schlink's novel The Reader in September.
