Nicole Kidman is a well-known actress as well as a fashion icon across the world. Her acting abilities have been recognized with her sixth Oscar nomination for best actress for her performance as Lucille Ball in Being the Ricardos, but we secretly want to see what she wears on the red carpet. The usual feast of A-list red carpets is back with all the froth and frivolity of cutting-edge fashion after two years of canceled and remote festivities.
Nicole will be in the spotlight at the Academy Awards, showcasing the best in couture. In 2017, her stylist Julia von Boehm told the New York Times, “She could wear a rope for a frock and make it look wonderful.” Designers have been lined up for years to dress Nicole, and she is correct. Nicole is said to have been paid $2 million by Dior to wear their gown at the 1997 Oscars, thus altering the red carpet/fashion couture relationship. We take a look back at the Australian actress’s top 5 Oscar looks ahead of the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 27 in Los Angeles.
Nic appears confident and stylish at the 2018 Oscars in her Armani Privé gown in cobalt blue. Her hair’s centre parting matches the dress’s centre seam, which is a subtle detail that ties the ensemble together. Nicole, as is customary, maintains her jewelry to a minimum so that the dress can speak for itself.
On the red carpet, this richly sequined Armani Privé gown looked stunning, but it may not be as comfy as it appears. Nicole’s dress straps were crossed over her back at the start of the ceremony, according to keen fashion observers. They were knotted behind her neck at the end of the night, creating a halter neck. Nicole’s iridescent sequin Louis Vuitton gown, poker red waistline, and crisp sleek hairdo give her an ultra-modern, high-fashion style, in stark contrast to the Academy Awards’ normally traditionally dressed candidates.
Nicole attended the 2009 awards with a softly feathered L’Wren Scott gown. Nicole was a personal friend of Scott’s, and the actress frequently wore her dresses to red carpet events. Nicole looked stunning in her red Balenciaga gown with a large accent bow around the neck. Whether you liked it or not, it drew a lot of attention. “It didn’t sit well with certain members of the press.” “However, such chatter does not disturb me. It still appealed to me, particularly the framework.” Nicole said.
