Nicole Kidman was dripping in gold as she was honored by her peers on Friday.
The Big Little Lies star, 56, looked statuesque in a sparkling gold Balenciaga gown as she was honored at the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award gala in Los Angeles.
Her sleeveless dress accentuated her figure, featuring a five-foot train that draped behind her on the red carpet.
Kidman completed the look with a matching gold watch and rings, as well as a pair of pointed black heels.
‘Deeply moved by all of the support around the world that I’ve been seeing and hearing,’ she wrote on Instagram with a photo of the stage.

The Academy Award winner was accompanied on the red carpet by husband Keith Urban, who also paid tribute to his wife on Instagram.
‘In a career that’s still very much in full flight, tonight the @americanfilminstitute will honor my wife as the newest member in this extraordinary fraternity,’ he captioned a photo of Kidman.
‘Babygirl – I’m so proud of you, and as much as I could come off sounding like the biased husband, I’ll let the list of previous honorees do all of the talking for me,’ added Urban, 56. ‘What a list!’
He went on to list the likes of Orson Welles, Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, Alfred Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor, Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep and more.
The Grammy Award winner complemented his wife in a classic black tuxedo with black creeper shoes.
Kidman and Urban tied the knot in 2006, and they share daughters Sunday Rose, 15, and 13-year-old Faith Margaret.
She also shares an adopted daughter Isabella, 31, and son Connor, 29, with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
The Australian actress raved the AFI honor was ‘beyond my wildest dreams‘ when she was announced as the recipient last weekend.
