Nicole Kidman, 56, sparks controversy in revealing backless dress – ‘not elegant at all’
Renowned actress Nicole Kidman, aged 56, sparked widespread chatter in the online sphere with her fashion statement at the Prime Video premiere of her series Expats.
The actress, celebrated for her breakout role in Days of Thunder, graced the event in a chic, form-fitting black gown from Atelier Versace. The daring ensemble boasted a striking backless design, a bold high slit, and showcased ample skin on either side of her silhouette.
Kidman accentuated her ensemble with dazzling silver jewelry from Roberto Coin, adding a touch of sparkle to her attire. Her rose-tinted makeup enhanced her natural beauty, while her hair cascaded in loose waves, completing the effortlessly elegant look.
Amidst the negative remarks, there were voices applauding Kidman’s bold fashion choice. Admirers marveled at the elegance of the gown, with one comment stating, “The gown is stunning,” while another praised Kidman’s allure, stating, “Her beauty perfectly complements the breathtaking Versace dress.”
A particularly positive remark read: “This is the epitome of glamour!”
Despite the online discourse, Kidman has long been revered as a fashion icon in the entertainment realm. She attributes her penchant for fashion to the influence of her mother, Janelle, and grandmother.
Reflecting on her upbringing, Kidman shared with People last November: “I grew up as a little girl with a grandmother that loved fashion and could sew, and my mother the same…I watched them sew, embroider, knit, and crochet. And I think when you grow up observing the people in your household do that, then you develop a love for it.”
Even today, Kidman finds joy in involving her mother in her wardrobe choices for events. The dedicated mother and spouse has frequently expressed her enduring passion for fashion, telling the Hollywood Reporter: “I’ve always been drawn to fashion, particularly classic lines with a twist; however, I’m not afraid to embrace edginess.”
Recalling her early days in the United States, Kidman considers herself fortunate in the fashion industry, especially for establishing connections with designers who became her friends at a young age.
