Nicole Kidman [1] continues to show her affinity for the micro-miniskirt trend [2] on the cover of Perfect magazine [3]'s 03 issue. Kidman, 55, was styled for her cover shoot by Robbie Spencer [4] in a Diesel by Glenn Martens look that featured the "tire"-style wrap skirt from the label's autumn 2022 runway show. Originally debuted in red and brown, the design is essentially a strip of leather secured around the hips that just barely skims the top of the thighs.
Kidman's grey iteration, accented by logo hardware, was teamed with a colourful graphic tank and the polarising jellyfish haircut [5], expertly shaped by Evanie Frausto [6].
The editorial, photographed by Zhong Lin [7] with creative direction by Katie Grand [8], received immediate praise from fellow actors Kerry Washington [9], Indya Moore, Rita Wilson, and Naomi Watts [10], the latter writing, "Wowza all of these pics!! And those abs nic!!! 🙌💪🔥," as soon as Kidman posted [11] it to her feed.
The "Big Little Lies [12]" producer also wore looks from Y/Project [13] and Jean Paul Gaultier Couture in the shoot. She commented on the photo-shoot experience in a press release, saying: "As I always say, 'I'm gonna do what I want to do.' That's probably why I click with photographers, as I'm not here to stamp myself on you, but rather you stamp yourself on me and for us to grow together. Let's play!" For the accompanying story, Kidman spoke to Jason Campbell [14] about her creative endeavours on screen and on the runway, including her recent appearance at the Balenciaga Couture show [15].
Kidman also memorably posed for Vanity Fair [16]'s 28th annual Hollywood issue in a low-rise skirt [17] by Miu Miu. She later told Baz Luhrmann that she "begged" to wear the viral look during an interview for Vogue Australia [18]. "I showed up and they had another outfit for me and I was like, 'No, no, I like this one! Am I allowed to wear that?,'" she said. "And [the stylist] Katie Grand, who's just fantastic, was on Zoom, and Katie was like 'You're willing to wear that?!' And I said, 'Wear it?! I'm begging you to wear it!'"
