Nicole Kidman was photographed in New York channelling her wild side, rugging up in a leopard print coat as she made her way to an event for her new thriller show Scarpetta.

The 58-year-old will star alongside Jamie Lee Curtis for the first time in the upcoming Amazon Prime Video series based on Patricia Cornwell’s novels.

The series features Kidman as forensic pathologist Dr Kay Scarpetta and Curtis as her sister, Dorothy Farinelli.

Kidman looked stylish for the event, wearing a smart black pantsuit, a leopard-print coat, and a funky pair of golden slingback pumps featuring a red ball spiked by the stiletto heels.

It appeared there was either a lack of communication between Kidman and Curtis’ stylists or they wanted to match on purpose, as the co-stars turned up wearing coordinated outfits.

The Freaky Friday star also opted for a black pantsuit, pairing it with a leopard-print blouse and black pumps.

Showrunner Liz Sarnoff and author Patricia Cornwell were also at the event held at 92NY in the Carnegie Hill neighbourhood.

Afterwards, Kidman and Curtis headed to Bibliotheque in Soho to appear at another Scarpetta Q&A event.

Fans of the Hollywood stars posted clips to Instagram that showed the pair’s “wonderful evening” from inside the wine bar, cafe and bookstore.

In an interview with Today, Curtis admitted she “barely knew” the Nine Perfect Strangers actress but quickly discovered they “have this fantastic dynamic”.

“She is formidable. She is fantastic. She’s just Nicole Kidman,” she said.

It comes after last year, Kidman wrapped her role opposite Sandra Bullock on Warner Bros. Pictures’ Practical Magic 2 following a two-month shoot.

The duo are also producing Susanne Bier’s long-awaited sequel to Griffin Dunne’s 1998 blockbuster, which is set for release later this year.

Kidman has a lot of upcoming projects in the works since her divorce from Keith Urban on January 6.

These include A24 legal series Discretion, Apple TV+ series Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Amazon Prime Video series Girls and Their Horses, Neon horror-thriller The Young People as well as season three of HBO Max’s Big Little Lies and Paramount+ spy thriller Lioness.

Scarpetta premieres March 11 on Prime.

The eight-episode series also stars Ariana DeBose, Bobby Cannavale, Simon Baker and Sosie Bacon.
