Nicole Kidman thinks being stylish means never "compromising" on who you are.The 42-year-old actress won two prizes at the InStyle Women of Style Awards in Sydney on Tuesday night. She was unable to attend the ceremony as she is filming new movie Just Go With It in Hawaii, and sent her mother Janelle and sister Antonia to collect the award on her behalf.
Nicole also recorded a video acceptance speech, in which she thanked the fashion magazine for giving her the prizes, and shared her thoughts on the definition of style.
"Style means having a voice, it means not compromising who you are because of what people say; it means standing proud, and knowing that that sometimes you are going to go in and out of fashion, but still, staying true to yourself," Nicole said.
Australian InStyle editor Kerrie McCallum said Nicole was one of the most fashionable and stylish women in Australia. She praised the actress' long career, charity work and personal life, declaring her to be truly "unique" and "special".
"With a career spanning over 25 years, and featuring in more than 30 films, Nicole Kidman is simply an iconic Australian female,'' McCallum said in a statement.
"An international star, Australia's only winner of a Best Actress Oscar, a passionate charity campaigner, a proud wife and a working mother of three - Nicole Kidman juggles all roles with charm, timeless style and a unique sense of intrigue."
Nicole has 22-month-old daughter Sunday Rose with her husband Keith Urban, and two adopted children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise.
