Believe it or not, Nicole Kidman actually shot this Vogue cover and the accompanying shots while pregnant. Besides the baby, her real costar in the photos is Hugh Jackman, her opposite in the much anticipated “Australia” to be released in November.

“Nicole is a thoroughbred,” Baz Luhrmann tells Vogue in the story, here. “She is highly strung, highly volatile, highly everything.”

Let that include highly photogenic. The very stylized photos from the magazine can be found after the jump.
