    Nicole Kidman showed off her radiant complexion as she joined Megan Fahy and Eve Hewson at the afterparty for the premiere of The Perfect Couple.

    The 57-year-old Academy Award winner showed off her age-defying looks at the premiere of her new Netflix drama, in which she plays a famous novelist.

    For the evening, Nicole wore a black jacket over her slim, statuesque 6-foot-1 figure in a custom-made sheer halter dress by Ferragamo.

    The star was once again a wrinkle-free wonder as she posed with her co-stars at the party, after makeup artist Gucci Westman completely touched up her alabaster complexion.

    She was joined at the star-studded party by a host of other stars, including 34-year-old Megan (The White Lotus), who sparkled in a sheer black lace midi dress.

    Megan’s dress had a completely open back and a plunging neckline, and was so sheer that her entire underwear was visible.

    The Bold Type star wore her blonde locks in a bun and wore black, open-toe heels.

    At the afterparty, Megan was seen laughing with her co-star Eve, 33, who looked like she had been wrapped in a pink, flowy dress with a bow, statement hips and pockets, and stunning stilettos chosen by stylist Karla Welch.

    The daughter of U2 frontman Bono and activist Ali Hewson (full name: Memphis Eve Sunny Day Hewson) wore her raven-black locks in an intricate bun.

    Eve lifted her full eyebrows forward and wore brown eyeshadow, pink blush and a dark pink lipstick.

    Megan and Eve, who play Amelia Sachs and Merritt Monaco on the series, appeared to be the best of friends as they laughed together while posing for photos.

    Following its UK premiere and a new trailer this week, the first reviews for Netflix’s The Perfect Couple emerged on Wednesday, ahead of its release the following day.

    Nicole and Liev Schreiber lead the high-profile cast of this upcoming miniseries, which follows the story of a wealthy Nantucket family whose lives are turned upside down.

    The first three reviews have been published. One calls the film ‘ridiculously good’, while the others are not so positive. One calls the film ‘idiotic’ and ‘distracted’.

    The only positive review so far is from The guardLucy Mangan, who compared the series to HBO’s The White Lotus and Big Little Lies.

    She praised the “correct plot” and the “carousel of suspects that turned at perfectly timed intervals, revealing that something had happened.”

    “It may or may not have anything to do with the rich and the poor, the power of money to corrupt and class consciousness, but it has no interest at all in these kinds of issues, like The White Lotus, for example,” she added.

    It was adapted by Jenna Lamia from the book of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand, who is known as the queen of beach books. Lamia has preserved exactly what makes such books great and given us a gloriously ridiculous treat. Nothing to do but sit back and enjoy.

    The critic emphasizes: ‘It’s almost impossible to resist the temptation to watch this stylish detective series, set around a posh Nantucket wedding, in its entirety.’

    “It’s a glorious, perfectly timed delight,” she says, though other critics have a very different take.

    The series could have been a piece of ‘biting satire’, but according to The IndependentNick Hilton, the show is ‘as crazy as it is derivative.’

    Following its UK premiere and a new trailer released this week, the first reviews are in for Netflix's The Perfect Couple ahead of its premiere on Thursday.

    The critic stresses that “it’s nearly impossible to resist the temptation to binge-watch the entire film of this stylish detective drama, set around a posh wedding on Nantucket.”

    According to Hilton, the irony of the series with this particular title is that “there’s no perfection to be found, despite all the beachside locations, designer dresses and wedding cakes that could feed a small army.”

    He adds: ‘The star quality of the cast and their creative qualities should be taken with a grain of salt: this is a fine recording of unadulterated trash.’

    The series is an adaptation of the 2018 novel of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand, who is also called ‘the queen of beach reading’.

    Hilton adds that while the book “was written to be consumed by a pool in Cabo over piña coladas, the TV adaptation will be consumed by hungover commuters on crowded trains.”

    He also calls it a “transparently cynical rip-off” of similar series like The White Lotus, Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers.
