Least Update: Nicole Kidman’s Black Bedazzled Cut-Out Gown Bared Her Entire Back… See More

And she had the funniest solution to a wardrobe mishap on stage at this year’s Governors Awards.

On Sunday, Hollywood’s glitterati flocked to the Dolby Theatre for the 2024 Governors Awards—and the star power was strong on the red carpet as the Academy doled out Honorary Oscars. Fresh off a major career year, Nicole Kidman sparkled as she posed along with her fellow A-listers in a slinky LBD with peekaboo cutouts and plenty of shine.

The Perfect Couple actress revamped the classic black gown by wearing a jewel-encrusted Celine creation by Hedi Slimane, cementing her status among the best-dressed of the evening. The long-sleeved floor-length number bared glimpses of skin with a keyhole cutout and large slits that completely exposed Kidman’s shoulders. The twisted neckline design was held up by a bedazzled collar, which ran behind her neck and plunged into an extremely low-cut back. As Kidman walked the red carpet, she also showed off a dramatic thigh-high slit on her right side and a pair of pointy-toed black leather heels.

Wearing her long strawberry blonde hair in a middle-parted style with some natural texture, the Australian star leaned into a warm weather color palette for her glam. She accentuated her features with defined brows, dark lashes, and a subtle peach hue that warmed up her lips and cheeks.

Kidman has been a red carpet fixture for decades, and the Hollywood veteran handled an unexpected wardrobe mishap like a pro. As she headed onstage to present an Honorary Oscar to casting director Juliet Taylor during the awards ceremony, the Big Little Lies star had to get creative when she realized she was too tall for the microphone. Per videos shared on X (formerly Twitter), Kidman solved the problem by simply removing her towering black high heels halfway through her speech and presenting the award to Taylor while barefoot.
