The Met Gala for this year is a commemoration of the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away in 2019. In honor of the renowned couturier, many celebrities chose to don Chanel creations for the occasion, and Nicole Kidman was among those who followed suit.
The 55-year-old actress graced the event in a stunning powder-pink gown that featured a long train adorned with rhinestones and elegant ostrich feathers. On this special night, it appeared that several attendees were channeling bridal vibes.
Notably, Penelope Cruz, Dua Lipa, and Irina Shayk were among those who embraced the iconic white Yohji Yamamoto gown and made the unconventional choice of going shoeless.
Nicole Kidman, however, took center stage at the gala by revisiting a gown she had originally worn almost two decades ago. This gown had been featured in a Chanel No. 5 perfume advertisement back in 2004, in a mini-film titled “Le Film,” directed by the renowned filmmaker Baz Luhrmann.
Kidman looked equally stunning in it this time, exuding the same charm she had almost 20 years ago. To complete her gala look, the actress adorned her loose hair with a matching black ribbon, complementing her outfit and bold earrings.
Notably, her husband, Keith Urban, was also present at the Met Gala, exuding a dapper and sophisticated appearance in a black tailcoat and white shirt. The couple appeared to be in high spirits and radiated happiness throughout the evening.
After the grand event, Kidman expressed her gratitude, stating on her blog, “Thanks for the memories!” Her fans and admirers were quick to shower her with praise and admiration for her stunning appearance.
Many described her as the “world’s most beautiful woman” and commended her for paying a heartfelt tribute to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld. Kidman’s reappearance in the iconic Chanel commercial was greeted with joy and appreciation, with fans expressing their delight in seeing her don the legendary gown once more.
Words of admiration and enchantment flowed from her supporters, characterizing the gown as a creation straight out of a fairy tale and suggesting that Karl Lagerfeld would have been overjoyed with the homage.
