Nicole Kidman just entered her pop-star era — and honestly, nobody had this cameo on their bingo card.
The 59-year-old actress stars alongside Troye Sivan in the singer’s new music video for She’s the Best, bringing plenty of glamour, attitude and unexpected chemistry to the party.
Kidman appears in a figure-hugging black dress, oversized coat, leather gloves and dark sunglasses as she struts through the streets with a cigarette before heading into a club packed with drag queens, including RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Sasha Colby.
Sivan, 31, sings about the mysterious woman portrayed by Kidman, describing her as a glamorous night owl with a perpetually exhausted edge before delivering the ultimate verdict: “Wow, that girl / She’s the best.”
And then things get flirtier.
Kidman watches Sivan perform while sipping a cocktail before motioning him toward her.
The pair eventually dance together, getting close enough to make the video feel like a very stylish fever dream.
Fans immediately embraced the unexpected pairing, with one calling Kidman’s appearance something they “really love.”
Another fan called the track a “diva worship national anthem,” while others praised Sivan for celebrating femininity in an intimate and genuine way.
The collaboration also has some history behind it. Kidman and Sivan first met while filming Boy Erased in 2018, where they played characters connected to a conversion therapy camp.
“She’s always just been such a picture of the divine feminine to me,” Sivan previously told Rolling Stone.
He even recalled the moment Kidman called him after he sent her the song.
“I slammed my laptop shut and just ended the meeting,” he said.
Apparently, some calls really are more important.
Sivan’s new album, She’s the Best, arrives October 9.
