Whether becoming Mrs. Tom Cruise or seducing a superhero in Batman Forever, Kidman, 28, knows how to pull off great Hollywood moves. She also knows how to assemble a knockout wardrobe—one that complements her strawberry-blond mane, pre-Raphaelite features and breathtaking frame. "A serious thumbs up," says Melrose Place costumer Denise Wingate. "She always manages to look like a lady; she can do no wrong." Nicole, says Another World's Linda Dano, "is very confident. She's not afraid to cover up and still know that she is sexy."
