Nicole Kidman bares her a** in a provocative V magazine shoot

Nicole Kidman shows off her naughty side as she takes the cover of V magazine's September issue.

The 45-year-old Australian actress reveals her pert derrière in a barely-there black and gold skirt, which rides high around her slender waist. In some frames she reveals her curves in a low-cutting bra.

Nicole took part in the spread to promote her new film, The Paperboy, which gets a limited release in the U.S. on October 5.
