Nicole Kidman has always been one of the most fashionable stars on the red carpet. She rarely gets it wrong, and at the 27th Art Directors Guild Awards, the Being the Ricardos star once again proved her impeccable sense of style.
The ADGs honored the best production designers in film, television, and media of 2022. Babylon, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery took home this year’s Excellence in Production Design awards for a Period Film, Fantasy Film, and Contemporary Film, respectively.
Nicole Kidman was among the few stars to grace the 2023 ADGs red carpet held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The 55-year-old actress brought contemporary flair to the awards ceremony, where she presented the ADG Cinematic Imagery Award to filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and his costume-and-set-designer wife Catherine Martin, whose 30-year collaboration has produced hit movies Moulin Rouge!, The Great Gatsby, and more recently, Elvis.
Nicole made a solo arrival on the red carpet wearing a sleek and elegant black dress designed by Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli.
Hailing from the Fall/Winter 2022 Couture collection, the asymmetrical black velvet number hugged every inch of the Academy Award-winning actress’ curves. It featured a one-shoulder design, a daring thigh-high slit, and a low-cut square neckline that nearly exposed her left boob.

The Bombshell actress commissioned stylist Julia von Boehm for her evening look, which included a black velvet ribbon choker with a gold avant-garde anatomical heart pendant decorated with rhinestone crystals and a keyhole opening.
Tom Cruise’s ex-wife had her red hair straightened and parted in the middle by Kylee Heath, while makeup artist Kate Synnott added a touch of blush, smokey brown eyeshadow, and matte red lipstick to make the look more bewitching.

Gold jewelry and diamond rings were added as accessories, and Chloe Gosselin’s heels rounded out her ensemble.

Aptly named the “Nicole” pumps, these soft crepe satin shoes have sleek pointed toes and 4-inch heels, updated with a thin chain as the T-bar strap.

At one point on the red carpet, Nicole was seen posing alongside Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin.
Baz Luhrmann, the filmmaker nominated for Oscars, and his producing partner and collaborator, Catherine Martin, an Oscar-winning production and costume designer, have worked with Kidman on films such as Moulin Rouge! in 2001 and Australia in 2008.
They’ve also developed a friendship, and Baz has nothing but praises for the actress.

“We’re great friends, and I’m so, I don’t know if I can say I’m proud of her, I’m just so enamored and so impressed,” he told PA news agency.
“You know, we live in a world where as an actor you can be relegated at a certain numerical point in your life, and she’s flourished.”
“I mean, she’s not only acting in more challenging roles consistently, but she’s also producing and creating, and I think she’s someone to be admired, but she’s also just a great friend.”

Nicole Kidman’s latest outing came after wrapping up filming for Lioness, a spy thriller TV series, in Mallorca earlier this month.
The Peacemaker actress shared a few snaps from the island, captioned: “Beautiful Mallorca! Thank you for having me, already planning to come back.”
