Nicole unwraps a new look

Nature has provided her with a figure that is strikingly super-svelte. But it seems that Nicole Kidman still feels she needs some extra help with her physique.

The actress underwent a morning of extreme pampering to ensure her 5ft 10in frame was as buffed to perfection as possible prior to her latest movie premiere in London last night.

And while a three-hour facial, manicure and pedicure were all perfectly predictable, it was Miss Kidman's other treatment that set tongues wagging.

For 37-year-old, who once claimed that she wished to be curvier, is also believed to have had a full seaweed body wrap - a treatment designed to aid last-minute inch loss.

And just to ensure she had not an ounce of excess flesh, the Australian star, who is staying in London's Dorchester hotel while she promotes her latest film, The Interpreter, also underwent a rigorous private gym workout.

The results were undeniably impressive as she arrived for the Leicester Square premiere in a figure-hugging coat dress.

A source close to the star told the Daily Mail: 'Nicole always stays at The Dorchester when she's in town because she knows most of the staff and feels at home there.

'Whenever she has a big party or film premiere to attend, she has a full beauty session in the morning because it helps her relax and look and feel at her best. On this occasion, both Nicole and her sister, Antonia, fancied something a bit different. As well as a facial, manicure and pedicure, both women opted for an algae seaweed body wrap which helps eliminate toxins and can aid weight loss, particularly from around the hips and thighs.

'Nicole also had a few weights and some gym equipment brought up to her suite for some last-minute toning-up.

'This was something she and Tom Cruise used to always do when they were married - so perhaps she wanted to fall back into a familiar routine.
