Nicole Kidman will always push limits on a magazine cover.

The actress, 56, rocked some racy looks when appearing in Elle’s April 2024 issue, posing for the camera while wearing a series of elaborate outfits — including a slinky, black lingerie set.

In multiple shots, Kidman could be seen sporting a coordinating bra and briefs combo from Dolce & Gabbana, which was paired with a garter, gloves, and thigh-high tights.

The revealing look showcased the “Moulin Rouge” star’s toned body, and was made even more dramatic with the help of slicked-back hair and dark eye makeup.

However, the bold choices didn’t stop there.

Modeling handful of high-fashion designs, Kidman sported a strapless Saint Laurent jumpsuit and a red, one-shouldered Balenciaga dress that flaunted her muscles.

Kidman could be seen peeking her head out from underneath the collar of an oversized, architectural, white Balenciaga gown that keeps in line with the latest “napkincore” trend.

While the six-time Golden Globe Award spoke about multiple projects throughout the interview — including her Amazon Prime miniseries, “Expats,” and season three of HBO’s “Big Little Lies” — she also touched on her viral AMC movie theater commercial.

The star approves of the fact that her emotional monologue has been such a hit, even being parodied on “SNL” and more.

“My dream will be to be onstage doing it with a drag queen,” she told Elle. “I’ve got to be able to do that at some point.”

The conversation also included a few of Kidman’s thoughts on getting dressed up for events. Despite nailing red carpet fashion time and time again, arriving at premieres in backless gowns and ab-baring cutouts, the mom of four revealed that usually, she can’t wait to get home at the end of the night.

“It feels a little unreal at times,” she admitted when speaking to the publication. “I want to get out, take my dress off, and put my jammies on. It’s kind of like the opposite of Cinderella—I’m happy to go home and just go back to me.”

She added that the experience can “feel a little overwhelming.”

“I’m like, ‘I need to go home now. I’m very tired. I want to get warm, and I want to curl up, and I want to feel real.’”
