Eek! Nicole Kidman was no doubt stunned when she was met with the autumnal breeze descending on the capital as she arrived at the Lion premiere during the BFI London Film Festival on Wednesday
Nicole showed off her famously statuesque physique as she glided into the premiere looking every inch the leading lady in her stunning gown.
The black velvet dress had a witchy effect, which added to the gothic feel of the look however the slashed front gave a super sexy vibe.
A slit along the front of the gown extended the entire length of her endless legs, which appeared out of the base when the breeze blew.
Although the top appeared demure at first glance, due to its long sleeves and high neckline, she added a saucy feel with the slashed front which extended down to her navel.

She's had one busy day. Earlier in the afternoon Nicole Kidman attended the Nicole Kidman & Dev Patel talk during the 60th BFI London Film Festival and she looked fabulous in all white.
