Nicole Kidman’s All-Black Balenciaga Ensemble for PFW Demands a Double Take

Nicole Kidman looked all chic and smiley as she showed love to fans in her form-fitting all-black Balenciaga dress at Paris Fashion Week. Kidman, who became the luxury fashion house’s brand ambassador last year, sat in the front row amid stars such as Katy Perry, Lindsay Lohan, Salma Hayek, and others, on Monday. Pairing the dress with an over-the-sleeve wristwatch, the black ensemble highlighted her long blonde hair. Although the actor kept it minimal and classic following the customary Balenciaga theme, her outfit came with a fascinating twist.

Nicole Kidman puts an interesting twist to all-black Balenciaga dress for PFW

Nicole Kidman arrived at the Paris Fashion Week in an all-black Balenciaga dress for the Womenswear Spring/Summer 2025 runway show. While the ensemble may appear to be a straightforward turtleneck midi dress at first glance, a closer look shows it came with a set of twists. The first twist was the extended sleeves, covering her arms completely like gloves and comprising thumbholes. Kidman styled it with an over-the-sleeve wristwatch as she paraded the distinctive feature while waving at fans.

The second twist in Nicole Kidman’s Balenciaga dress for the Paris Fashion Week was the corset-like detailing at the back. The midi dress incorporated a lace-up embellishment with two ribbons trailing behind. The 57-year-old’s ensemble also included a dark pair of stockings and pointed pumps. Additionally, the “The Perfect Couple” actor minimally accessorized the look with cat-eye sunglasses, some David Yurman jewelry, and a structured handbag.

Nicole Kidman appeared at the Balenciaga SS25 show at PFW after the brand made her its ambassador in December 2023. Other ambassadors for the luxury fashion house include A-listers such as Michelle Yeoh, Kim Kardashian, Isabelle Huppert, and more. This is also Kidman’s first public outing since her mother passed away, and the actor showed love to fans with kisses and hearts, as reported by People Magazine.

As one of Balenciaga’s fresh faces, Nicole Kidman attended the Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show with her daughter, Sunday Rose. The duo had coordinated black outfits for the event.
