Nicole Kidman reflects on a cherished milestone from her early career — her first designer purchase. The Australian actress saved every bit of her daily allowance to buy an Azzedine Alaïa suit, a splurge she both treasures and regrets.
For Kidman, her personal style has always gravitated toward structured elegance. "My natural way of dressing would be far more pants, tie, suit, and a jacket," she shared. That Alaïa suit was a perfect expression of her early fashion instincts, embodying the sleek, tailored look she loves
As her career has grown, so has her wardrobe, evolving into a collection of iconic outfits. Kidman has learned to cherish her designer clothes, especially those that have graced red carpets around the world. "I save all the red carpet dresses.
While her couture pieces are safely tucked away, Kidman’s everyday wardrobe is fair game for her teenage daughters, Sunday and Faith. "They raid my wardrobe all the time. I’m like, 'Okay, what’s mine is yours,'" she said with a laugh.
Kidman’s openness to sharing her wardrobe with her daughters speaks to a deep bond between them. Whether it’s a favorite sweater or a casual jacket, those exchanges are more than just about clothes — they’re a way to connect.
With awards season in full swing, Kidman is set to add more stunning gowns to her carefully archived collection. Her performance in Babygirl has earned her multiple nominations, ensuring a busy calendar of ceremonies.
From long-lost Alaïa suits to red carpet masterpieces in her archives, Kidman's journey with fashion is woven with sentimentality. Whether it's treasuring dresses or watching her daughters wear their old favourites, each piece tells a story.
