Nicole Kidman turned heads at the Chanel Cruise 2026/27 show on Wednesday, making an elegant appearance in a stunning backless black dress. The luxurious event took place in the sun-soaked south of France, providing the perfect backdrop for a collection described as 'relaxed silhouettes with silk satin scarves, ensembles with a nautical spirit,' and knit looks designed for a 'sophisticated holiday wardrobe.'
Kidman clearly understood the fashion assignment, looking unreal as she posed for photos on a beachfront balcony. Her entire look consisted of a black fitted maxi dress with a high, straight neck, long sleeves with a slight flare, and a tight slimline skirt that accentuated her tall physique. However, the star of the show was the back of the dress. Alongside the sophisticated scoop, the piece featured a statement feathered arrangement at the centre of her back, held in position by four gold chains that added extra elegance to the fit. The dress also included a subtle slit at the bottom of the skirt, drawing further attention to her sling-back black heels.
In terms of hair, makeup, and accessories, Kidman wore her signature blonde locks in a tousled low bun with curtain bangs. She kept her skincare simple, with a touch of blush and glossy nude lips, and added a pair of sleek shades to complete the chic aesthetic.
Kidman has been consistently impressing with her fashion statements. Two weeks ago, the 58-year-old actress attended the Las Vegas CinemaCon red carpet with her Practical Magic co-star Sandra Bullock, wearing a sheer black dress. Her take on the little black dress featured a modest plunging V-neckline, ruffles around the bust and hips, short sleeves, and a sheer skirt with more ruffles at the hem, showing off her athletic legs. She wore her hair down in messy waves with wispy curtain bangs framing her face.
Kidman has been in the public eye frequently recently, thanks to multiple acting roles and her high-profile split from her husband of 18 years, Keith Urban. The pair announced their separation in September 2025, citing 'irreconcilable differences.' However, it was later revealed that Kidman 'didn't want' the divorce and was 'fighting to save the marriage.' Kidman and Urban, who met in 2005 at the G'Day USA gala in Los Angeles—an event honouring Australians in Hollywood—share two daughters: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.
Sunday Rose is currently making a name for herself in the modelling world, following in the footsteps of Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. In a recent cover interview with Elle Australia, she discussed her modelling career and inadvertently snubbed her father, instead gushing about her mother, Nicole, calling her her 'biggest inspiration.' The feature reportedly left Urban feeling 'numb' and 'like he doesn't exist.' Sunday also seemingly unfollowed her father on Instagram, leading fans to speculate about tension in the family dynamics.
