Nicole Kidman has embraced her wild side, starring in a sultry new music video for Troye Sivan and Charli XCX's latest collaboration, She's The Best.
The Oscar-winning Australian actress, 59, takes centre stage in the cinematic clip, where she is seen smoking a cigarette and sensually dancing in a series of provocative scenes.
Dressed in a fitted black outfit, Kidman writhes across a bar, locks eyes with the camera and busts out a series of uninhibited dance moves as the pulsating track plays.
At one point, the Babygirl star casually puffs on a cigarette before launching into a steamy dance sequence.
The surprise cameo marks a reunion for Kidman and Sivan, who first worked together on the 2018 drama Boy Erased, in which the Perth-born singer made his feature film acting debut.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Sivan said he immediately thought of Kidman when planning the music video.

'I was like, 'Who is the best?' Nicole Kidman. She's the best. The first thing that came to my mind was, 'I wonder if she'd be in the video?'' he said.
Sivan admitted he was stunned when the Hollywood icon agreed to appear.
'She's one of the greatest actresses of all time. To have her in our music video feels surreal,' he added.
The collaboration also reunites Sivan with longtime friend Charli XCX, with the pair releasing the high-energy track after previously teaming up on fan favourites 1999 and 2099.
The provocative music video also comes less than two years after Kidman won widespread acclaim for her fearless performance in the erotic thriller Babygirl, in which she played a high-powered CEO who embarks on a BDSM-fuelled affair with a much younger intern.
The role sparked global conversation, with Kidman later admitting she relished the opportunity to portray a middle-aged woman embracing her sexuality on screen.
'A lot of times women are discarded at a certain period of their career as a sexual being,' she told The Hollywood Reporter after the film's release.
'So it was really beautiful to be seen in this way.'

She also described the emotionally demanding role as new territory, telling the publication: 'This is a place that I haven't been.'
More recently, Kidman revealed that the free-spirited energy she displays on screen isn't entirely fictional, confessing in her British Vogue cover story that she occasionally disguises herself with a wig and glasses so she can attend raves in Ibiza unnoticed.
'I'll put on glasses. Sometimes I'll wear a wig to hide... and then I can just dance,' she said.
Kidman added that while she's naturally introverted, she loves 'to lose it with a group of people and dance.'
