Nicole Kidman has described fashion as an ‘armour’<\/p>\n
Nicole Kidman has admitted she uses fashion an “armour”.<\/p>\n
The 58-year-old actress – who recently reunited with Chanel after filing for divorce from Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage – has opened up about her relationship with style.<\/p>\n
Asked what fashion means to her, she told Vogue magazine: “Sometimes it’s armour.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes it’s playful, sometimes it’s sexy. It just depends on my mood. Sometimes it’s androgynous, sometimes it’s kind of, screw you.”<\/p>\n
The Moulin Rouge star also described fashion a “parallel artistic life”, particularly when it comes to red carpet outfits or photoshoots.<\/p>\n
When it comes to her makeup, Nicole previously revealed she learned to do her own by waching professionals on film sets.<\/p>\n
She told WWD: “When you’re working with someone like [director] Baz Luhrmann and [costume designer] Catherine Martin, there’s a very specific look they want for the character.<\/p>\n
“I started to realize, as I was being created by others and experimenting, they were teaching me how to use makeup in particular ways and create characters. I could then go and use that in real life.”<\/p>\n
She added: “When I started experimenting with make-up and skin care myself, I went through so many different stages: lots of masks, this and that. I learned I can change aspects of my face, augment things, and it became much more creative and exciting.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Hollywood star admitted she was “nervous” before her Paris Fashion Week appearance at this week’s Chanel Womenswear Spring\/Summer 2026 show.<\/p>\n
In a behind the scenes video for Vogue magazine, she said: “I’m just very nervous, actually.<\/p>\n
“I have my daughters coming with me. But I’m very excited for Matthieu [Blazy] because this is a big moment for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicole made her first public appearance since filing for divorce her children’s father Keith Urban.<\/p>\n
However, she was glad to be there to support her friend Mattieu, who is the fashion house’s new creative director.<\/p>\n
She added: “To be able to celebrate him with his first show with Chanel, and the beginning of an incredible journey together, it’s exciting, right?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nicole Kidman has described fashion as an ‘armour’ Nicole Kidman has admitted she uses fashion an “armour”.
