Australian actress Nicole Kidman was presented with The AFI Lifetime Achievement Award by another Hollywood icon Meryl Streep, and the legendary actress owned the moment in a glamorous gold custom Balenciaga gown from the brand's Fall 24 collection. The glittering showstopper which evoked old Hollywood glamor and resembled an Oscar statue was embroidered with gold sequins and featured a long train. Kidman who is 5'11' teamed the dress with black Balenciaga pumps.
The American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award honors those in cinema whose career enriches American culture through film and television and all the A-list celebrities turned out to pay tribute. Kidman entered Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre to a standing ovation and the soundtrack of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend". In attendance were Kidman's husband Keith Urban and many Hollywood stars, friends and collaborators of Kidman including Reese Witherspoon, Naomi Watts and Morgan Freeman who all paid tribute to the star's illustrious career.
