Nicole Kidman, 57, shows off her radiant visage as she relaxes in Paris in her bathrobe... as star shrugs off furor over Balenciaga appearance
Nicole Kidman soaked up the beauty of Paris in her bathrobe while lounging in her window at the Peninsula hotel on Thursday.
The 57-year-old is one of the flurry of stars who have descended on the French capital to take in the shows at Paris Fashion Week.
But in the midst of the hustle and bustle, the mother of four was also able to indulge in a bit of relaxation as she showed off her radiant complexion.
One evocative snap showed Nicole stretched across her hotel windowsill at dusk, gazing out at the iconic Haussmann architecture of the Avenue Kléber.
She treated her fans to a few glimpses of the views from the Peninsula, including one of the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, shimmering over the darkened city rooftops.

Her posts came amid a social media furor over the fact she and her close friend Naomi Watts attended the Balenciaga show this Wednesday.
Nearly two years ago, the brand was plunged into scandal and forced to apologize over an ad campaign that prompted even frequent Balenciaga model Kim Kardashian to declare she was 'outraged' and 'disgusted.'
Some pictures in the campaign showed children holding teddy-bear-shaped purses that were dressed in what appeared to be bondage gear.
One photo was of a handbag on a desk strewn with various papers - including a United States Supreme Court ruling involving child pornography.
A particularly controversial picture showed a child lying down on a couch next to a coffee table that held empty wineglasses and Stella Artois chalices.
Kim publicly announced that she was 'shaken by the disturbing images' and was 'reevaluating my relationship' with Balenciaga.
However Nicole - who had recently starred in a separate Balenciaga campaign - never buckled under the pressure to issue her own statement denouncing the brand, even while social media commentators furiously demanded she do so.
As the dust settled, Kim decided to remain in the Balenciaga fold, officially becoming the face of the fashion house this January.

Meanwhile Nicole demonstrated her own loyalty to the firm when she and Naomi cheerfully attended its latest fashion show in Paris this week.
Nicole brought along her 15-year-old daughter Sunday Rose, who is one of the two children she shares with her country star husband Keith Urban.
Outraged social media users sprang online to condemn the two movie stars, making note of the fact both of them have children of their own.
'I simply cannot believe that anyone, particularly a parent, would associate with this brand. Much less GIVE them positive publicity and support,' fumed one.
'Such poor taste to associate with this brand,' seethed another, while a third recoiled: 'Eww. Balenciaga are Not Like Us.'
