She’s always been beautiful, but as she approaches her 50th birthday next week Nicole Kidman has never looked more dazzling – despite an exhausting schedule that’s seen her relentlessly crisscross the globe in recent weeks.

The actress has been juggling shooting action movie Aquaman on the Gold Coast, promoting hit TV series Big Little Lies in the US, attending the Cannes Film Festival in France and accepting awards for her role in Lion, most recently at the Glamour Awards in London.

It’s enough to make a woman half her age feel exhausted, but as Nicole greets her 50s head-on she has a message for her fans, “I’m about to turn 50 and I never thought this would be one of the best years of my life. I thought at 40 I’d be retired by 50. But I want to tell everyone it begins at 40 and it begins at 50.”

Still, as she approaches the magic milestone and prepares to celebrate on June 20, Nic also has some other hot tips when it comes to looking as good as she does.

Naturally fair, Nicole’s porcelain skin is one of her best attributes and she’s always taken great care to slather herself in sunscreen.
