Oscar award-winning actress Nicole Kidman lets loose for a Mario Testino photo shoot.

The editorial called ‘Truth or Bare’ is a play on Madonna’s ‘Truth or Dare’ and shows off Kidman’s wild side. The actress is usually portrayed in a more conservative light and it is refreshing to see another side of her. The shoot was styled by Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele. It was an ode to [80s fashion and aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren). Carlyne put Kidman in minimal outfits, mostly bras and glittery undies and heavy makeup with neon accessories. Frame by Frame Testino captured Kidman’s natural beauty and tiny bodice in these stunning shots. In fact, with her wig, the styling and sassy direction, Kidman is almost unrecognizable in certain shots.

The Mario Testino photo shoot of Nicole Kidman shows a classic actress in [provocative placement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borntostandout-fall-2024) and one cannot help, but take a second look.
