Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman was spotted getting into character on the set of her new movie Baby Girl on Wednesday.
The 56-year-old actress initially appeared injured when she was photographed lying on a New York street with blood on her knees.
But when makeup artists rushed in to retouch the fake blood between takes, it soon became clear that the injury was just Hollywood magic.
Another shot showed the dog standing over the actress as she struggled to get up from the ground.
The Oscar winner looked stylish on set wearing a white coat and scarf.
She paired her all-white look with gloves and a tote bag.
The Moulin Rouge star signed on for the film in November, and filming began in December.
The actress, who is the new face of Balenciaga, returned to Australia to spend Christmas and New Year with her family before jetting back to shoot again.
Baby Girl follows a successful CEO (Kidman) who begins a dangerous relationship with a much younger intern.
The cast also includes Harris Dickinson, Antonio Banderas, Jean Reno, and Sophie Wilde.
It comes after the Australian beauty opened up about her experience navigating Hollywood as a woman in her 50s in a candid interview with Stella last year.
After her controversial 2022 Vanity Fair microskirt photoshoot sparked controversy, the successful producer said she’s never let other people’s opinions hold her back.
“I make the most random, crazy choices. I call them ‘teenage choices,’ because I never think about the consequences,” she admitted.
“Half the time I have to be forced to think about the consequences. Part of my brain doesn’t think like that.”
The Nine Perfect Strangers star said all of her fashion choices are based on how she feels, rather than what others say she should wear.
“I’m just trying to stay in place because I think if I don’t I get scared and worried about what people will think,” she added.
“As far as people’s reactions, I say don’t tell me. I don’t really want to know. It would keep me from doing what I want to do.”
