Give her a standing ovation! Leggy Nicole Kidman looks stunning in daring thigh-high split dress as she steps out in Milan after West End return

She's just made a grand return to London's West End for a three-month run in Photograph 51.

But despite her theatrical commitments, Nicole Kidman still found time to squeeze in a trip to Milan on Wednesday for a party hosted by Omega.

The 48-year-old actress, who was treading the boards the previous evening at London's Noel Coward theatre, showed no sign of fatigue as she put on a leggy display in a sleek black dress.

The Eyes Wide Shut star made sure all eyes were on her at the party as she put her lithe legs on display thanks to a thigh-high split in the sparkling floor-length number.

Further highlighting her slim and toned pins, the actress wore a pair of killer strappy heels.

The A-Lister accessorized for the watch-makers event with one of the brand's own luxurious and bejeweled time-pieces, as well as a handful of other diamond encrusted baubles.

Be elegant in a sequined Mugler dress like Nicole

Nicole Kidman is always an image of timeless elegance and grace. She shows off her statuesque figure in a daringly slit, high neck sequined dress from Mugler.

Mugler is a French house that is now re-invigorated by designer David Koma. Mugler was always known for it's sculptural, futuristic style and under the direction of Koma, it's been pushed into the modern era with an injection of sexiness.

With its sleek lines and subtle sequins outlining a geometric design, this dress is pure Mugler. This would be a valuable addition to any gala wardrobe. Pair it with simple sandals and upswept hair like Nicole to maintain that minimalist feel.

Head over to shopbop to pick up the long sleeve version since the exact one Nicole is wearing isn't available online. However if you're set on something without sleeves, check out our edit below. We added a short cocktail dress from Parker because it had a similar neckline and beading pattern and it would be a great cocktail choice.

Jetting into Milan for a photo call at the Omega event earlier on that day, Nicole had been treading the boards the previous night in her latest theatrical endeavour, Photograph 51.

The play, which has earned rave reviews, is named after an x-ray image taken by a researcher at King’s College London, which revealed the double-helix shape of DNA.

Delighted: Even though the actress had been treading the boards in London the night before, she couldn't halp but flash a beaming smile as she arrived at the party

It was a crucial starting point for research by Francis Crick and James Watson, who identified how DNA was structured.

Franklin was the chemist overseeing the original discovery, but has been relatively overlooked by history – while Crick and Watson won the Nobel Prize along with fellow researcher Maurice Wilkins.

The show is a first for Nicole after a 17-year hiatus from the stage, having earned rave reviews for her performance in The Blue Room.
