Nicole Kidman's Chanel Dress at the Met Gala 2023
Nicole Kidman Rewears Her Iconic Chanel Dress Almost 20 Years Later
Nicole Kidman dipped into her own archives for the 2023 Met Gala on 1 May. Arriving alongside husband Keith Urban, the actor looked ethereal in a blush-pink chiffon gown featuring beads and feather detailing down the long train. Eagle-eyed Chanel fans may recognise Kidman's dress from her iconic commercial for Chanel No. 5 perfume back in 2004.
Known as one of the most expensive adverts of all time, the iconic short film from 2004 showed Kidman in the flowing pink number, running in the middle of Times Square in New York City. Karl Lagerfeld, the late creative director of Chanel and the theme of this year's Met Gala, designed the gorgeous dress at the time.
Almost 20 years later at the Met Museum, with the help of her stylist Julia von Boehm, Kidman accessorised the recognisable gown with black heels and a pearl clutch from Chanel, as well as Harry Winston chandelier earrings and a diamond ring. She completed the angelic, Juliet-inspired look with beachy waves with a black bow in the back.
"If you take care of them and you love them, they're timeless," Kidman said of rewearing the dress while chatting with La La Anthony during Vogue's red carpet live stream. She noted it was "light as a feather" and "unbelievably comfortable," despite it being a classic couture piece.
Next to Kidman, Urban looked dapper in a black suit, including a long jacket similar to Lagerfeld's signature style. The longtime couple exchanged laughs and kisses as they posed for the cameras on the red, white, and blue carpet.
