Nicole Kidman shines at ‘Lioness’ premiere in sheer metal mesh top
Couture never looked so cool.
At Wednesday night’s “Lioness” Season 3 premiere in NYC, Nicole Kidman walked the red carpet wearing a look from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s debut haute couture collection for Fendi.
The centerpiece of her look? A sheer, scalloped 1920s-inspired tunic made from embroidered metal on a tulle base, which Kidman paired with ivory side-striped tuxedo trousers and open-toed heels.
More than $50,000 worth of Roberto Coin jewelry — including a snake-inspired bangle and ring set and rose gold diamond drop earrings — completed the ensemble.
Kidman was joined on the red carpet by co-stars Laysla De Oliveira, Zoe Sandaña and Jill Wagner.
Fendi Creative Director Chiuri returned to the house last fall after a 36-year hiatus, with her first couture collection hitting the runway in Rome just a few weeks ago.
Though Kidman might not have been obviously method-dressing for the “Lioness” premiere, it’s fitting that she looked to a female designer to dress her for the event.
The Paramount+ spy thriller follows a CIA team that recruits female operatives — known as “Lionesses” — to go undercover and infiltrate terrorist organizations.
Kidman plays senior CIA supervisor Kaitlyn Meade in Taylor Sheridan’s hit show.
The actress is also gearing up for the release of the much-anticipated “Practical Magic 2,” which will see her reuniting with Sandra Bullock almost 30 years after the original film.
