She's one of the most classically beautiful actresses of our generation.

And Nicole Kidman looked stunning as she attended a Cinema Society film screening of new movie Snow Flower And The Secret Fan in New York last night.

The 44-year-old actress showed off her figure in an elegant red Elie Saab dress as she posed with husband Keith Urban at the event.

However, Nicole was very nearly upstaged by Russian model Irina Shayk, who stuck to her usual style rules and arrived wearing a barely-there skintight cream minidress.

The 25-year-old certainly caused a stir as she posed for photographers in the outfit, which featured some daring cut out panels at the front and back and showed off the star's long toned legs.

She was also looking tanned, perhaps as a result from her recent holiday in Portugal with her footballer beau Cristiano Ronaldo.

Feminine: Nicole teamed the red dress with a pair of Jimmy Choo heels and a L'Wren Scott clutch bag

Irina teamed the dress with a pair of Christian Louboutin heels and left her long hair loose.

Nicole, meanwhile, went for a more feminine approach with her accessories, opting for Jimmy Choo sandals, a L’Wren Scott clutch bag and Cathy Waterman jewellery.

Both Nicole and Irina displayed enviable figures as they posed on the red carpet outside the Tribeca Grand Hotel where the screening was held.

But despite Irina's toned physique, she insists she doesn't diet.
'I think that a person can eat what she likes and do some exercises to be in shape- doesn't matter if it's going to be gym or swimming or walking in a park or pilates,' she once told StyleBistro.
'It should be a pleasure as positive emotions always make you beautiful! I personally love going to [the] gym.'

The model, who lives in New York, has managed a long distance relationship with footballer Ronaldo, who she has been dating since last May.
Their romance began just weeks before Ronaldo announced he had become a father to a baby son with an unnamed American mother.
Although the Real Madrid player announced he has 'exclusive guardianship' of Cristiano Jnr, his mother Dolores is helping to raise the child in Portugal.
