Nicole Kidman is said to have posed nude in a photo shoot that will show off her pregnant belly.
That's the buzz doing the rounds in Los Angeles, after Kidman turned up to a top-secret photo shoot with legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier.
Kidman is believed to have joined other celebrity mums, ranging from
Cindy Crawford and
Gwyneth Paltrow to
Britney Spears and
Elle Macpherson, in posing during the late stages of pregnancy.
Secrecy surrounded the photo shoot with Oscar winner Kidman, although the actor was spotted arriving at Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles last week before a Demarchelier shoot.
Kidman, who has made frequent appearances on the red carpet while pregnant, is said to have embraced the notion of showing off her baby bump in public.
The pregnant photos of Kidman are likely to appear in Vanity Fair.
Demi Moore was the first actor to pose nude while pregnant in a photo shoot, which appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair in 1991.
