It’s no secret that fashion is something that’s near and dear to Kidman’s heart.
“There are dreams attached to fashion.
Or that’s my way of fitting in.
Or it’s my way of saying no.
Or it’s my way of saying I’m different.”
The gown also had an incredibly high split, allowing the star to flash a little leg.
While chatting withExtra, Kidman noted that the seemingly precarious garment was actually quite secure.
“I’m just glad it’s very structured, which is good.
It doesn’t look it, but it is,” she said.
In 2017, the dynamic duo attended the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, arm in arm.
Though it was a striking look, it divided the media.
She wore a stunning sparkling silver dress by Dolce & Gabbana that reached down past her knees.
It was arguably a slightly risky move, as Cruise’s all-black suit was a pretty subdued look.
Next to him, Kidman glowed and allowed herself to draw all of the attention.
This was a bit of a shift for their dynamic.
The aesthetic was whimsical and fitting of the era, but Kidman’s semi-sheer top was a little risque.
Whether she knew it or not, this moment was very ahead of its time.
Fast-forward a few decades and no one raises an eyebrow at a sheer dress.
The film generated a lot of buzz, as it was Kubrick’s last movie before he died.
For the 1999 premiere, Kidman donned an appropriately fearless outfit for the Westwood, California event.
The cowl neck top was held in place with thin spaghetti straps, bringing attention to Kidman’s back.
“I just found it in a flea market,” she shared.
It goes without saying, but she made the flea market duds look like a million bucks.
The star kept her makeup relatively simple, with a blush pink lip.
Her red hair perfected the look, flowing straight across her collarbone.
Kidman has never shied away from an open-back dress or top, but who could blame her?
After all, she pulls off the look like few others can.
Kidman wore another bold gown to celebrate her husband’s second outing as Ethan Hunt.
This time, she channeled her inner dominatrix by wearing a full-length black leather dress.
It didn’t stop the couple from packing on the PDA, though.
She piled her red hair high in a playful ’60s style hairdo, adding to the retro aesthetic.
Even back then, Kidman was determined to wear what she wanted, how she wanted.
However, she paired it with some unusual, eye-catching accessories.
Bax Luhrmann’s musical is a dynamic, opulent, fast-paced, and occasionally chaotic piece of cinema.
The star rocked up to the Los Angeles debut wearing an incredibly low-cut black sequin dress.
While stunning, the gown raised eyebrows and generated a lot of chatter online.
Kidman opted to keep her makeup fairly minimal, choosing light, dewy tones with plenty of mascara.
The gown also featured slits on the flared arms on the skirt, allowing for plenty of movement.
Kidman also dared to laugh at Hollywood’s unspoken rule: don’t wear the same thing twice.
The velvet dress was an Azarro by Vanessa Seward creation and created a classic and simple look for Kidman.
It looked like a regular halter dress from the front, but the statement back made quite the impression.
Of course, Kidman managed to mix the two styles perfectly, as she’s well-practiced in this area.
The floral detail at the center pulled everything together beautifully.
The entire ensemble gave Kidman an element of Bond girl femme fatale chicness that was perfect for the occasion.
Kidman thoughtfully took the MO into consideration and wore a recreation of a 1951 Balenciaga gown.
