Fashion Statement with History
Nicole Kidman turned heads at the 2025 Met Gala in a vintage-inspired Balenciaga gown featuring silk organza, bow belts, and a dramatic corset silhouette. “When Demna sent me this sketch, I was inspired,” she shared. The look was completed with lace gloves, satin pumps, and dazzling Cindy Chao jewelry. Kidman also debuted a bold cropped two-toned hairstyle to embody dandyism and confidence.

Though she posed gracefully, video clips of Kidman walking sparked concern. One fan asked, “What’s wrong with her legs?” Another noted, “She looks like she’s struggling to walk.” Speculations ranged from painful shoes to a possible back injury or even pregnancy.
Deeply Personal Tribute
Kidman collaborated with stylist Jason Bolden to honor fashion history and self-expression. “This dress embodies [the theme]. From the hips to the corset, Demna and his team tailored it to perfection,” she said.
Beyond Glamour
Hairstylist Adir Abergel revealed the new hairstyle was crafted to reflect individuality and elegance, aligning with the Gala’s tailored theme.

Despite her flawless couture, it was her walk—not the look—that stole the spotlight.
