A Shimmering Spectacle: Nicole Kidman Dazzles in Schiaparelli at the Venice Film Festival
Venice, Italy – The azure waters of the Venetian lagoon set the stage for a sartorial masterpiece as Nicole Kidman graced the red carpet premiere of her latest film, “Babygirl,” during the 2024 Venice Film Festival. The Aussie icon, known for her impeccable taste and bold fashion choices, did not disappoint, selecting a breathtaking gown from Schiaparelli’s fall 2024 couture collection.
Kidman’s choice was a three-dimensional statement, a veritable work of art that commanded attention. The structured corset was dripping in beaded fringe, creating a captivating play of light and texture, while the velvet column skirt added a sumptuous touch. The translucent beige bodice featured a hyperextended silk chiffon neckline, accentuating Kidman’s elegant frame and emphasizing an hourglass silhouette through strategic hip padding.
The true magic, however, lay in the ombre effect achieved through the intricate beaded embroidery. Flecks of black sequins blended seamlessly into the velvet skirt, courtesy of the beaded fringe detailing that cascaded from the waist. From the back, Kidman’s velvet pumps peeked through a tactful split, adding a touch of allure to the ensemble.
Allowing the dress to take center stage, Kidman opted for an effortlessly tousled hairstyle and a subtle smokey eye, allowing her radiant, dewy complexion to shine. Accessorizing with a touch of opulence, she donned Roberto Coin jewelry, including diamond-encrusted rings and a pair of pearl drop earrings.
Earlier in the day, Kidman had graced the photo call for “Babygirl” in a equally striking ensemble – a plunging Bottega Veneta puff-sleeve black dress, paired with white peep-toe mules, a watch, and geometric statement earrings. Her hair was styled in a chic half-updo, completing the look with a touch of sophistication.
“Babygirl,” set to release in the United States on December 25th, follows the captivating story of a high-ranking executive, played by Kidman, who begins a steamy affair with a much younger intern, portrayed by Harris Dickinson. Directed by the talented Halina Reijn, the erotic thriller also features the renowned Antonio Banderas and Sophie Wilde in supporting roles.
As the Venetian sun dipped below the horizon, Nicole Kidman’s sartorial masterpiece shone brighter than the city’s iconic landmarks, cementing her status as a true style icon and a force to be reckoned with on the global stage.
