The day on the water was a family celebration. Kidman spent it with her younger sister Antonia, who was marking her 55th birthday out on the Riviera.

It’s been a fast-moving stretch of summer for Nicole Kidman, and she’s been glowing through it.

Since her divorce from Keith Urban, friends of his have told Woman’s Day he has big regrets and would take her back in a moment if she’d have him. She reportedly isn’t interested, and the receipts are stacking up: front row at Chanel Cruise in Biarritz this spring, the Met Gala in May with 18-year-old Sunday Rose, the Wimbledon Royal Box next to Anna Wintour on July 12, and a private flight out of Ibiza three days later that almost certainly delivered her to Italy for this trip with her younger sister, Antonia Kidman.

Sunday Rose has had her own run this month, walking her second Dior show in a row at Paris Fashion Week on July 6 in a grey-and-pink knit coat. She and her sister Faith Margaret are reportedly at odds over the divorce, and Kidman is said to be considering a sit-down with Urban to keep him present as a dad, not to reconcile.

The boat day in Portofino doubled as a birthday party for Antonia, the Australian journalist, TV presenter, author, and family lawyer, who turned 55 out on the Italian Riviera. She had her husband Craig Marran along, plus the couple’s daughter, Sybella Hawley, and close family friend Dr. Rick Abramson, a prominent philanthropist.

Nicole kept to a striped button-up, denim cut-off shorts, trainers, a cream baseball cap, and dark sunglasses, a Loewe handbag on her arm as the group boarded a white motor yacht near the fishing village, a tender waiting alongside.
