Nicole Kidman is not easing up in Paris — she’s doubling down.
Only days after stealing the spotlight at Chanel for Matthieu Blazy’s much-watched haute couture debut, Nicole Kidman made another fashion-forward appearance on Monday, January 26 — and once again had the style crowd paying close attention.
Attending the Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award, Kidman opted for a vivid orange, long-sleeved floor-length dress patterned with dense black-and-white textural dots. The graphic design produced a bold visual trick, giving the gown a sense of movement and energy, as if it were shimmering under the venue’s lights.
The silhouette was elegant and seasonally smart, offering full coverage while still feeling bold and graphic. She paired the vivid dress with a deep burgundy handbag, grounding the brightness with a richer tone. But the real conversation starter came from above the shoulders.
Kidman styled her hair in an unapologetically deep millennial side part — sharp, dramatic, and intentionally retro. Soft, luminous makeup balanced the look, keeping it polished rather than overpowering.
The event itself celebrated craftsmanship of a different kind. The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award honors automotive artistry and heritage, with this year’s top prize going to a meticulously restored 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B — a fitting backdrop for Kidman’s refined yet daring fashion moment.
Her Paris schedule has been relentless. Just the night before, the Big Little Lies star kicked off couture week at Chanel in a feathered black midi dress from the house’s Métiers d’Art 2026 collection, finished with sharp black-and-white pumps.
The appearances carry extra weight. Kidman was named Chanel’s newest global ambassador last October, shortly after finalizing her divorce from Keith Urban, which was completed on January 6, 2026. Since then, her fashion choices have felt deliberate, confident, and firmly centered on her own momentum.
At the time of her ambassadorship announcement, Kidman spoke openly about her excitement for the house’s future, praising couture as an art form and expressing anticipation for Blazy’s vision at the helm of the historic maison.
In Paris, she’s not just attending events — she’s making statements. One illusion dress, one sharp side part, and one perfectly timed moment at a time.
