Nicole Kidman Strips Off To Star in Jimmy Choo Campaign For The Third Time

The actress has stripped down for the new "Jimmy Choo" campaign. Nicole Kidman went topless and raised eyebrows for a series of sexy campaign shots for upmarket shoe and accessory brand.

The 46-year-old star commented: "I've always loved fashion and often use it as a way to get into character. There is a lot of complexity, mystery and femininity to the Jimmy Choo woman."

The 'Stoker' actress was chosen by the company's new creative director, Sandra Choi, as part of her recent bid to shake things up and appeal to an edgier kind of client with "attitude".

 Wearing a partially see-through black pencil skirt, Nicole stuns in an exotic pair of Keane rope sandals which travel up the length of the leg.

In the third promotional image, Nicole covers up a little in a black micro dress which plunges at the cleavage and shows off her slim figure. 

She wears a blue bottle and bronzed coloured pair of suede and anthracite mirrored Tamsen sandals which cost £795 and she carries another £1995 python Anna bag from the collection. 

Breaking in March issues globally, the campaign is accompanied by an exclusive behind the scenes film which will be available to view on the Jimmy Choo website. 
Sandra Choi, Creative Director said: 'I love Nicole Kidman’s openness to embracing a new character and each season she transforms into a new personality that embodies the spirit of the collection. 

'Her poses are striking yet unexpected and her natural beauty is mesmerising. She exudes feminine confidence and there’s a palpable sense of energy to the pictures.' 

Sandra said: "I'm such a great admirer and feel enormously honoured to be working with Nicole Kidman. Nicole is one of the finest actresses in the world, who I knew could convey the empowered glamour of the brand.

"But she is also so nuanced and refined; she brings an attitude of defiance, strength, sensuality and elegance."

Nicole is no stranger to fronting high profile brands and has memorably starred in ads for Chanel No.5 perfume and Omega watches.

Robert Pattinson To Play Peter O'Toole's Most Famous Role of Lawrence of Arabia

When a new movie based on British adventurer T.E. Lawrence was announced last year eyebrows were raised as Robert Pattinson was cast to take on the role of Lawrence, 60 years after Peter O'Toole played the role in David Lean's iconic Lawrence of Arabia.

The 1962 epic earned O'Toole his first of eight Academy Award nominations and is widely regarded as one of the most acclaimed movies and performances from O'Toole and co-star Omar Sharif, in movie history.

Directed by art house icon Werner Herzog, the movie co-stars Nicole Kidman as writer/explorer Gertrude Bell and is said to focus on her relationship with Lawrence, rather than a straight remake of the 1960s classic.

Sadly, O'Toole passed away before he could see Pattinson tackling his iconic role. It was confirmed last night, December 15, the actor has died age 81 after a prolonged illness, at a London hospital.

Before his death he had commented on the decision to bring the British Army officer back to the big screen, admitting it was almost inevitable a re-make would be made.

“Well, they were bound to get around to it sooner or later,” he told The Telegraph last August, but insisted it wouldn't be a patch on the original.

“Well, of course it won’t," he laughed when asked about the new version.

 And what of Pattinson taking on his iconic character? Despite being one of the most famous people on the planet, O'Toole was completely unaware of Pattinson-mania.

"Who?" he reportedly asked after a long pause.

While Rob might not have the same acclaim as the eight times nominated actor, the London born star at 27, is three years younger than O'Toole when he took on the role age 30.

So could the magic it worked for the Irish born, Leeds lad also help Rob leave behind his past as a teenage heart-throb?

Filming on the movie is set to begin next year, but with the passing of the acting legend, will it over shadow or enhance Pattinson's performance. For a star who is making shrewd career decisions, working with acclaimed directors such as David Cronenberg and avoiding blockbuster, the role could prove to be as important as it was for O'Toole in 1962.
