I really love Nicole’s dress (which is Lanvin) and hair at the Ladymatic launch!
A few more photos from the Hollywood Reporter Actress Roundtable have surfaced online, and I have added them into our Gallery. There are some pictures from the ’roundtable’ itself, as well as a couple more from the cover photoshoot. Doesn’t Amy Adams look like Nicole!! The videos are supposed to be released today, so we can look forward to that in a little while!
I’ve also added a portrait photo taken in Beijing last week whilst Nicole was promoting Omega’s Ladymatic. Thanks to our forum member ‘once‘ for this!

Magazine launches; cover features six leading awards season actresses for roundtable discussion.
In an awards season where actresses have created unusually memorable performances, The Hollywood Reporter is focusing on six of the most buzz-worthy in its first relaunched issue available Wednesday.
Amy Adams (The Fighter), Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right), Helena Bonham Carter (Alice in Wonderland, The King’s Speech), Nicole Kidman (The Rabbit Hole), Natalie Portman (Black Swan) and Hilary Swank (Conviction) sat down with THR for an hourlong freewheeling and often fun discussion to kick off the annual Awards Season Roundtable Series.
The actresses discussed everything from dealing with director conflict on the set, the emotional impact of certain roles, to how they balance motherhood and work. The interviews were conducted on Oct. 25 at the Siren Studios in Los Angeles. The group was photographed by photographer Lorenzo Agius.
Extensive video portions of the interview will be available on THR online on Nov. 3.
Thanks to our visitor Cathy for the link to this new video!
On the 29th of October, OMEGA launched Ladymatic, a mechanical wristwatch designed exclusively for women. On hand at the press conference in Beijing was Oscar-winning actress and OMEGA brand ambassador Nicole Kidman. This short film features some of the highlights of the event.
I keep remembering that I missed a few events from earlier this year and I need to add photos from them, and I have now been able to properly start on that! I’ve added over 90 HQ photos from the CMT Awards that Nicole attended with her husband back in June. She looked elegant in a little gold dress with her red-ish hair down. Nic was sitting next to her The Stepford Wives co-star Faith Hill at the event, and I love the photos of the two of them chatting together, they seem to get on really well!
As for other catch-up/missed event photos – I still have lots more to add from the Just Go With It film set, as well as more from the ACM Awards and HFPA Luncheon, events which I did add a few photos from, but never the full sets. So stay tuned for that soon
As posted about earlier, Nicole attended the launch of Omega’s new ‘Ladymatic’ watch in Beijing yesterday, and is the face of the advertising campaign for the product. I’ve now added photos from that launch event, plus the advert posters, set photos and behind the scenes screencaps from the making of the advert. Nicole looks so gorgeous in all of these photos! There are so many beautiful shots in the behind the scenes video, so make sure you don’t miss them. The behind the scenes video was posted a few posts down, so scroll down to view that if you haven’t done so already (or just view it again ).
Omega, the watch brand that astronaut Buzz Aldrin famously wore to the moon in 1969, unveiled the new Ladymatic collection today in Beijing, signaling its first serious effort to conquer the ladies’ mechanical watch market.
Two years in the making, the Ladymatic borrows its name from an Omega model introduced in 1955 and its design sensibility from that era’s golden age of couture. The comparisons, however, end there. The modern version of the timepiece houses a robust Co-Axial caliber 8520/8521 within a round 34 mm case crafted from 18k rose gold, 18k yellow gold, or stainless steel, with or without diamonds. The movement features the innovative Co-Axial escapement designed in 1999 with the help of British watchmaking legend George Daniels.
“We felt there was a need for this,” Omega president Stephen Urquhart said. “The new watches are superb and they’ve been designed for women who have told us that they are as interested in the quality of our mechanical movements as they are in the style of the watches.”
Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, a brand ambassador since 2004, is the face of the Ladymatic advertising campaign shot by photographer Peter Lindbergh. Presiding over the launch, Kidman said she believed “all women want a beautiful watch, but not just for show.”
Showing off the rose gold bracelet style adorning her slender wrist, she continued: “It’s not very heavy, but it’s got weight, and it’s not a replica of a man’s watch.”
At a press conference at Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Beijing, attended by international media and featuring actress Nicole Kidman, Swiss watchmaker OMEGA unveiled Ladymatic. The mechanical wristwatch for women blends state-of-the-industry technology with dramatic aesthetic appeal.
OMEGA president Stephen Urquhart, who was fighting laryngitis, opened the launch event. He remarked, “I may have lost my voice but OMEGA hasn’t lost its voice.” His comment was greeted with enthusiastic applause. Kevin Rollenhagen, Member of the Extended Management Committee of the Swatch Group, Responsible for Greater China and Australia, presented the speech that Mr. Urquhart had prepared for the occasion. The Swatch Group is OMEGA’s parent company.
Mr. Rollenhagen explained why OMEGA created the Ladymatic and discussed the underlying philosophy behind the watch’s concept. He described the increasingly important role of women as leaders in business, politics, lifestyle and media and said that OMEGA decided to create a state-of-the-industry watch for women of accomplishment.
OMEGA’s aim, said Kevin Rollenhagen, was “to create a watch which would integrate our most innovative technology with dramatic, eye-catching design. It was not enough that it would be equipped with the best mechanical watch movement in the worlds – it also needed to be emotionally and aesthetically expressive.”
