Jimmy Choo has today revealed that the star of its next campaign will be Nicole Kidman.

The label’s new creative director, Sandra Choi, has recruited the actress to be the face (or the feet) of her autumn 2013 collection. ‘I’m such a great admirer and feel enormously honoured to be working with Nicole Kidman,” she explains. ‘Nicole is one of the finest actresses in the world, who I knew could convey the empowered glamour of the brand. But she is also so nuanced and refined; she brings an attitude of defiance, strength, sensuality and elegance.’

Kidman was snapped by photographer Mikael Jansson last month, but the pictures are under wraps until August. In the meantime she’ll be heading to the Cannes Film Festival this week – and we suspect that Jimmy Choos will prove to be the new staple of her red carpet wardrobe...
