Aussie beauty and Baz Luhrmann muse Nicole Kidman towers above other Hollywood A-listers with her grace and gorgeous looks. With her fair skin, strawberry blonde curls and height of 5'10", you can see why Nicole is the go-to for iconic roles -- and her latest is no exception. The epic Australia hits theaters today, so we're taking a look at Nicole Kidman's timeless and sophisticated style.

Nicole is most certainly a modern romantic; I can't think of anyone who wears more chandelier earrings. Her two trademark hairstyles are ethereal long curls and a chic, tight ponytail, both perfectly projecting her glamorous and dramatic style. Nicole's tall and slender figure lends itself well to the modern couture gowns she is often seen wearing on the red carpet. nicole kidman photosMost of her winning looks have been column-like dresses with details like ruffles, draping or feathers -- all of which further accentuate her poised frame and statuesque height. Her signature colors are those classic Hollywood staples, golds, blacks and reds; but when she decides to go more delicate, she's all about pastels and white.

Choosing to let her good looks do the talking, this outback girl's makeup is always minimal. She stays away from powders and lets her face shine. Her stand-out facial features are her slightly arched eyebrows and red lips. When it comes to accessories and jewelry, Nicole again favors the romantic, with intricate, sparkly jewels or large flowers.

Because Nicole Kidman has a clearly definable look, it's easy to emulate. Whether you decide on the chic Chanel style or the ruffled romantic feel, any tall pair of heels will lay the groundwork for pulling off the perfect Nicole inspired outfit.
