She had a dramatic day that saw her pushed to the ground by a photographer on a bicycle.
But it appears Nicole Kidman is made of strong stuff.
The 46-year-old actress appeared to dust herself off as she attended the Calvin Klein Collection after-party later that day.
Made of stone? Nicole Kidman bounces back at the
Calvin Klein Collection post fashion show event during Mercedes-Benz
Fashion Week Spring 2014, following a run-in with a photographer
Nicole appeared unscathed at the bash, wearing a sparkling black pencil skirt and
black sleeveless top, with pretty red shoes.
Meanwhile
it has been reported that the star will be pressing charges against the
photographer who crashed into her on his bicycle.
The
freelance photographer Carl Wu knocked Nicole to the ground in the
collision outside the Carlyle Hotel where she was returning to during
New York Fashion Week yesterday.
She's tough: Following her spill, Nicole Kidman
appeared to be in fine form later the same day at the Calvin Klein
Collection after-party
No harm done? Nicole appeared to be in good spirits at the party which was held in New York City
According to TMZ, the
paparazzo attempted to brake as he got close to her, but they failed and
he slammed into Nicole, sending her to the ground.
A
source told the gossip website she had no visible injuries but intended
to press charges - and although he was given a ticket for riding his
bike on the pavement, Carl was not arrested for a criminal offense.
A policeman was reportedly heard saying: 'An accident's an accident.'
Designer friends: Nicole posed with designer Francisco Costa at the star-studded event in NYC
Guests: Rooney Mara and Rachel Zoe also attended
the Calvin Klein Collection post fashion show event during
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2014 at Spring Studios on September 12
Girl on fire: Rooney Mara looked beautiful in an understated black gown at the party
An insider added to UsMagazine.com: 'She looked hurt, but there wasn't any blood.
'She put her shoes back on and ran into the Carlyle.'
Video
of the accident shows the photographer riding on the pavement at
considerable speed and ploughing into Nicole just outside the hotel's
entrance.
Snapper Wu, who
is reported to be just 16 years old already has quite a reputation after
run-ins with other celebs, including Lada Gaga. And there's even a
Tumblr account called, 'F*** You Carl Wu.'
But
while Nicole is said to be intent on pressing charges, no major damage
was done and she returned the fashion scene later that day.
Party guests: Alexander Skarsgard and Naomie Harris attend the Calvin Klein Collection
Grimacing: Nicole didn't look happy as she got up and it has been claimed she wants to press charges
Massaging it better: The Australian star rubbed her right leg which bore the brunt of her weight when she fell
BMX Bandit: Carl Wu was racing to take a photo of the actress when he lost control of his bike
Close encounter: Nicole fortunately threw her hands in front of her so that she didn't hit her head
Rushing to her aid: Fortunately staff from the Carlyle hotel and Nicole's assistants were right there to help
After the accident took place,
Nicole was helped up by assistants and was seen rubbing her right leg
which bore the brunt of her weight when she hit the ground.
A security guard was seen wrestling the bicycle of Wu as he lay sprawled on the floor outside the Carlyle hotel.
It is illegal to ride bicycles on the sidewalk in New York City and it is likely that Wu was slapped with a ticket.
That's got to hurt: Nicole did her best to recover swiftly and hop up after the incident
Gently now: Everyone made sure Nicole stood up slowly in case of injury although she was trying to hurry off
Scary situation: The photographer remained tangled in his bike while Nicole was pulled off the ground
Before the accident Nicole had been having a pleasant day viewing one of her favourite designer's Spring/Summer 2014 collection.
While at the Calvin Klein show Nicole
showed off a new bob haircut and her
youthful complexion was clear as she wore minimal make-up aside from
pink lipgloss.
The actress was also highlighting her teeny tiny waist in a dress which was nipped in with a thin gold belt.
Always graceful: Nicole attempted to slip back into her high heels but then realised it was better to leave it
In trouble: A security guard wore a stern face as he talked to the paparazzo, who had his equipment in a rucksack
Exit stage right: Other photographers were taking pictures at the scene so a man ushered Nicole into the hotel
The frock was dove grey, fell to Nicole’s knees and hugged her slender figure in all the right places.
Nicole teamed it with three tone shows in white, brown and black hues, along with a gold watch and dazzling earrings.
The Stoker star also carried a
ponyskin clutch bag and wore large cat-eye sunglasses until she was
inside Spring Studios where the show was taking place.
