Nicole Kidman brought the heat in a skintight dress as she cozied up with Troye Sivan in the latter’s new music video, “She’s the Best.”
The “Big Little Lies” actress, 59, rocked the black dress paired with an equally oversized and glamorous black coat, leather gloves and dark sunglasses in the video released on Thursday.
In the video, she was seen walking down the street while smoking a cigarette, heading into a club where Sivan and numerous drag queens are performing — including “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 15 winner Sasha Colby.
“She’s walking down the street with her little thin cigarette / Great smile, and a c-m stain on her dress / DJs from Wednesday to Monday / Don’t ask, she’s not taking any f–king requests,” Sivan, 31, sings of a woman personified by Kidman.
“Quick drag, a rouge cheek, a blush lip / Eyeliner in her waterline and some contour on her t-ts / Night owl and somehow an early bird / She kind of just stays perpetually tired,” he continues.
As the chorus begins, Sivan repeats “that girl” repeatedly before finally declaring, “Wow, that girl / She’s the best.”
Kidman sits front and center to watch Sivan while sipping a cocktail, before flirtatiously motioning him towards her.
They then held each other close and started dancing with their faces nearly touching. At one point, the “Moulin Rogue!” star even dances with Sivan swaying behind her.
Fans praised the unexpected duo, with one commenting under the video, “Nicole Kidman in a Troye Sivan video was not on my bingo card but I really love it.”
“And when the world needed him more than ever, he grabbed Nicole Kidman and said, ‘let’s show em,’” another added. Yet another wrote, “An ode to women??!? Love!”
One fan dubbed the track and its accompanying music video the “diva worship national anthem.”
Another praised Sivan for having “managed to capture femininity in such an intimate, beautiful, and genuine light in so many different ways.”
Sivan and Kidman first crossed paths when they starred in the 2018 film “Boy Erased,” based on Gerrard Conley’s 2016 memoir of the same name.
In the film, Kidman starred as the mother of a closeted gay teenager, played by Lucas Hedges, while Sivan played one of the other teens Hedges’ character met at a conversion therapy camp.
“She’s always just been such a picture of the divine feminine to me,” Sivan told Rolling Stone of the Oscar winner.
The Australian singer said he sent Kidman the song and showed her references for the video when she called him mid-Zoom meeting a bit later from an unknown number.
“I let it go to voicemail, and then I see the transcription starts coming, it’s like, ‘Hi darling Troye, it’s Nic,’” he recalled. “I slammed my laptop shut and just ended the meeting.” The rest is history.
Sivan’s forthcoming album, “She’s the Best,” drops Oct. 9.
