Kidman's first Vanity Fair appearance in 1990 with the "Dead Calm" look
I can still hear her saying it...
...t'was one of my all time favorite life moments, interviewing her. Today twitter informed me that it was my 7th birthday there. By their count I'm almost old enough to start obsessing on movies. And, as Graham pointed out, that means I joined Twitter on Nicole Kidman's birthday. Was this intentional? I can't recall. For our faux shared anniversary, Catarina challenged me to share my single favorite Nicole Kidman photograph. Just one? I've selected seven in keeping with my twitter age.
My top seven (at the moment) are after the jump but before we get there, I just want to say that this challenge led me to Kidman pictures I'd never seen before like this one with Ed Harris from Bruce Weber! They didn't have any scenes together in The Hours so what was going on here? I'm obviously forgetting a movie as I'm typing.

Or this one from... I'm not sure where.
MY FAVORITE NICOLE KIDMAN PHOTOGRAPHS
#7.
Simple yet perfect. Love the panties.
#6
Love this whole Jimmy Choo campaign. Possibly because it reminds me of Charlotte Bless which I'm always fine with being reminded of
#5
Was this from Vanity Fair? I can't remember
#4
Photographed by Patrick Demarchelier in Australia
"Get me Demarchelier" / "I have Patrick"
#3
offkilter carnality. slightly possessed. confrontational yet immobile. glamourous yet scary. I love every single thing about this portrait. Complex enough to honor her as a subject. Photographed by Peter Lindbergh who did a whole incredible black and white shoot with her to promote Nine I think it was.
#2
Because no discussion of Nicole is complete without her auteur madness. Actress as muse, disciple, partner, object and subject.

Nicole Kidman by Peggy Sirrota (Sirotta is amazing in general)
