From Long Locks to a Chic Bob: Nicole Kidman's Unexpected Met Gala Look
- 🎉
Adieu to the lengthy locks of golden hues she once bore. - Farewell to the Lengthy Blonde Hairlocks of the Subject
Nicole Kidman (57) set the Met Gala stage ablaze with a drastic hair transformation! The actress dazzled in a freshly chopped bob, a bold departure from her signature long blonde tresses, while rocking a stylish black Balenciaga gown at the Manhattan event.
Kidman's Stylish New 'Do
Her sleek, partially slick-back bob made quite an impact, serving as a striking contrast to her red-carpet-ready ensemble at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Every year, Nicole puts her fashion game on full display at the Met Gala, with the help of her trusted stylist Jason Bolden (43) and Balenciaga's creative director Demna Gvasalia (44).
Apparently, Nicole worked with the team to recreate a look hailing from the Cristóbal Balenciaga (1895-1972) archives for this year's gala.
According to Nicole, she was inspired by Demna's modern take on a classic piece: "When Demna shared this design, it struck a chord with me. He took an iconic piece from the house's history and revamped it in a way that felt utterly unique to me." For the night, she paired the black corset dress with black short gloves, pointed pumps, statement earrings, and her new, chic bob – sporting a deep side part.
Noting the Design as Divine
Nicole deemed the dress a fitting expression of Anna Wintour's (75) "Tailored For You" dress code for the event. She adored the intricate details, from the structure of the fabric to the delicate bow detailing around the waist. Kidman even drew inspiration from the iconic fashion persona, Eartha Kitt (1927-2008), on the red carpet.
Post-gala, Kidman took to Instagram to express her appreciation, thanking everyone for a fabulous night.
Held every year on the first Monday in May, the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC is a star-studded affair, often referred to as the ultimate fashion Oscars. This year's event spotlighted menswear and the color black. The museum's exhibition, inspired by Monica L. Miller's book "Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity," highlights the evolution of black dandyism, spanning from the 18th century to the present day.
