Seeing as Nicole Kidman was presenting an award at the Women of the Year awards in London, she had to look the part. And she certainly didn't fail on that front, turning up in a ladylike lace number at the event in the Intercontinental Park Lane Hotel.

The 48 year old look youthful in the Erdem pastel piece that exuded girlish elegance and was perfect for an event to celebrate women.

The dress was sent down the spring 2016 runway and its lilac, lemon and white tones will be perfectly suited for that season. Being an A-list celebrity however, Nicole was priveleged enough to wear it early despite it not being up for sale until the new year. However, the contrasting black lace in the dress made it work for autumn/winter and Nicole looked stunning.

In the DC universe, Hippolyta is also Donna Troy's mother.

The website adds that no comment was provided by a Warner Brothers representative.
