What can you say about a woman who wows you every single time. Onscreen with her sensitive yet powerful roles (remember Moulin Rouge and Cold Mountain?)and offscreen with her grace and oomph on the red carpet.

Oscars 2007 was no different. Her slender height and stoic disposition are just what carries off this bow-shouldered red gown by Balenciaga with utmost ease. Stop the traffic, we say!

She always manages to be one step ahead of the crowd. In a year where we saw celebs dressed in similar outfits (2007 being the year of glitter and gloss), she just rose above the ordinary and chose to wear this blood red stunner.

And what a way to complete the look. Her hair looks silky and sexy and the makeup is just simple and divine! She sure knows what it means to say, 'less is more'. Vous êtes beaux, Nicole.
