Nicole Kidman is pulling a major flex as magazine cover model!

The Oscar-winning actress, 55, debuts a mod, new hairstyle––not to mention toned muscles––on the cover of the new issue of British publication Perfect.

Kidman shows off seriously toned biceps, abs and quads in the photo, while wearing a colorful Diesel tank top and modified gray belt-turned-skirt.

In an Instagram post featuring a carousel of photos from the magazine shoot, the actress acknowledged the publication's founder and those behind the scenes for the experience.

"Thank you darling @KEGrand 💋 @ThePerfectMagazine," Kidman wrote.

The artful shoot, captured by photographer Zhong Lin, showcases the Being the Ricardos actress in a playful mood.

In some photos, the star totes an old-school video camera as a prop, while others seem to focus on her red hair, which is cropped dramatically shorter around her face.

For the second cover Kidman wears head-to-toe Y/Project, including a maxi cotton dress and thigh-high leather boots. The fashion editorial celebrates designer Glenn Martens' 'Perfect Fashion' award. Martens is creative director of both Diesel and Y/Project, and recently created a couture collection for Jean Paul Gaultier.

Longtime friend and fellow actress Naomi Watts was among those who were loving the look.
