The Most Stylish Films Starring Nicole Kidman Happy birthday to the most glamour australian diva

An Academy Award winner for Best Actress in The Hours and multiple other prestigious awards, Nicole Kidman's career began in 1983, with roles in several Australian films and television projects. But her breakthrough came in 1989 with the thriller Dead Calm. Since then, the actress has been dazzling for decades, delivering impeccable acting and mesmerizing fashion moments, whether on the red carpet or in film roles. From a silky ocean blue Chanel dress worn at the 76th Academy Awards to an iconic pink corset with an extravagant feather train in Moulin Rouge!, the Australian star has consistently demonstrated an appreciation for the intersection between cinema and fashion. In commemoration of her anniversary, we compiled a list of the most stylish films starring Nicole Kidman.

To Die For (1995)

In this 1995 American police drama comedy directed by Gus Van Sant the narrative follows Suzanne Stone, a beautiful and reserved interior girl who will make the possible and the impossible to become a worldwide famous TV reporter. Suzanne, portrayed by Kidman, marries Larry Maretto, portrayed by Matt Dillon, whom she believes will provide her with financial stability. She begins her ascent in the broadcast news industry, first as a weather girl at a local cable station, WWEN. But when her husband suggests that she quit her job so that they can start a family, she feels that he has become an obstacle to her success and resorts to drastic measures: recruiting a group of young punk students to murder him. Although the narrative may initially appear macabre, the film's humorous tone, in alignment with appealing fashion, creates a balance. From a leopard-print silk dress to various retro skirt suits, costume designer Beatrix Aruna Pasztor combined vintage clothing with the femme fatale archetype to enhance the character's depiction.

Grace of Monaco (2014)

Olivier Dahan's biographical drama tells the story of former actress Grace Kelly's transition from Hollywood to the Monarchy of Monaco. While the story may have sparked some controversy over how Kelly's life was portrayed, the fashion was not. This is because costume designer Gigi Lepage incorporated many of Grace Kelly's favorite clothes and accessories to contribute to the look of the film. With a signature '60s fashion, some notable looks include a butter yellow lady's suit with a polka dot head scarf and pearls, a floral dress with a hat, and a white embellished princess-like gown.
