Statuesque is the only word to describe Nicole Kidman last night. Celebrating her forthcoming series Expats—which she helmed alongside director Lulu Wang—the ever-stylish star hit the red carpet in Sydney, Australia looking like a Greek sculpture come to life. 

Kidman pulled out all the stops to mark the occasion, tapping Fendi’s Kim Jones for help in bringing her goddess-like vision to fruition. Styled by Jason Bolden, the actor wore a look from Fendi’s fall 2023 couture collection. The dress was simple but breathtaking, a strapless nude column with a draped bodice and a thigh-high slit. (Taking full advantage of the dress, Kidman struck a leggy pose á là Angelina Jolie.)

While Jones sent a model down the runway with a nude turtleneck under the dress, Kidman decided to forgo the extra layer. She kept the rest of her look simple, wearing matching pointy-toe pumps in suede. 

Her accessories amped up the Greek goddess vibe: chunky gold ring, hoop earrings, thick bangle around the forearm. The tiny, rectangular gold clutch she carried could pass for Pandora’s Box. What with all that, and the hair piled atop her head and dangling in red curls, you’d swear Kidman was a modern-day resident of Mount Olympus.
