Nicole Kidman Revives One Very Famous Chanel Look for the 2023 Met Gala

To contrast the soft, rosy color of the dress, Kidman accessorized with simple black sandals, a thin black watch for jewelry, and husband Keith Urban on her arm. To cap it all off, the actor wore her auburn hair in a half-up style, tied with a girlish black ribbon. 

According to The Guardian, when Kidman wore this very dress in a Chanel fragrance commercial back in 2004, it was meant to evoke her role in Moulin Rouge. In the ad which, like Moulin Rouge, was directed by Baz Luhrmann, Kidman is chased by the paparazzi into a waiting taxi, which is already occupied by a hunky struggling writer.
