Nicole Kidman Wore the Sexiest Play on a Tie We've Ever Seen to the CMT Awards

We consider it a pretty big style bonus that when Keith Urban steps out for the CMT Awards, his lovely wife, Nicole Kidman, is there to support. The couple's cuteness is undeniable, but it's Nicole's bold red carpet choices we're really waiting for. True to form, the actress just turned out another memorable look, arriving arm in arm with Keith on Wednesday night.

Yes, she was wearing an LBD, but for anyone about to cry "basic," we beg to differ. With all-over sequins, an easy, loose fit, and a coordinating tie fastened around her neck, this Michael Kors Collection look brings the black dress into totally fashion-forward territory. Just take a quick look here for the proof, which includes a stunning pair of statement earrings.
