She's the leggy red head who has starred in a string of cinematic blockbusters and even scored an Oscar.

Now, Nicole Kidman is making history as she becomes the first Hollywood actress to star in a fully immersive virtual reality film, titled Reimagine.

The five-minute feature, which was released on Friday, continues the 48-year-old's commercial work with Etihad Airways, and provides viewers with a 360-degree look at the airline's Airbus A380.

Making history: Australian actress Nicole Kidman is making history as the first Hollywood actress to star in a fully immersive virtual reality film - appearing in Reimagine, a 360-degree film by Etihad Airways

Reimagine begins with the mother-of-four on a plush lounge in the A380 lobby area shared by passengers in business class, first class and The Residence.

Seated with her hands placed neatly in her lap while addressing the camera, Nicole asks the man acting as the director of the film sitting opposite her: ‘Run me through this one more time.’

Dressed in a chic red and orange dress, teamed with a gold statement necklace, says in riddles: ‘If things run afoul locate the twins. Once in Edinburgh I will connect with the Falcon in the lobby of the Opera House.'

'The soprano will sing her arias. The silver case will be dropped. You will text code name: "paper plane",’ Nicole concludes.

Speaking about her starring role in the virtual reality feature, Nicole said: 'The film is a culmination of Etihad’s vision to tell the airline’s story in an extremely innovative way and a commitment to engaging with the public as has never been attempted by an airline before.
