Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban hit the red carpet together for the Celebrate Life Ball at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne.

The superstar couple cut a fine figure at the masquerade themed gala with Kidman donning a stunning peach Prada floor-length gown and Urban looking equally as sharp in a black suit and tie.

The Oscar-winner had a little fun with photographers as she posed for pictures and playfully toyed with her lace mask accessory designed by Melbourne-based milliner, Kerrie Stanley.

The Celebrate Life Foundation has been established by vitamin company Swisse to inspire wellness throughout the community and address the increasing rates of preventable disease.

As the Swisse global ambassador Kidman is the guest of honour at the evening’s event aimed at raising money for the new Monash Children’s Hospital in Clayton and a donation will also be made to the Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick of which Nicole is a patron.

Other notable faces to hit the red carpet included Jessica Mauboy, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Ricky Ponting with wife Rianna and the balls joint hosts, Karl Stefanovic and Sonia Kruger.

Nicole and Keith made chic couple on the red carpet for the event.

Nic was all smiles as she hammed it up for the cameras.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte was uber elegant in all black.

Jessica Mauboy looked fabulous in her figure hugging frock.

The evening’s hosts, Sonia Kruger and Karl Stefanovic couldn’t sneak in unnoticed – even though they were slightly hidden behind their masks.

Karl looked even more the larrikin with his jester inspired disguise.

Ricky Ponting and Rianna happily smiled for the snappers.

Love is in the air: Nicole and Keith stole adoring stares while arriving arm-in-arm to the event.

Neighbors star Alan Fletcher tweeted this picture making a cheeky quip about the event’s theme: “Short sighted people can’t wear masks! #Swisse #CelebrateLifeBall “
