Nicole Kidman has proven once again that she is a master of edgy fashion, and her recent appearance at the Cannes Film Festival is a testament to her stylish versatility. Attending the Kering Women in Motion Talk at the Majestic Hotel in Cannes, the Babygirl star made an unforgettable statement in a striking motocore-inspired ensemble by Balenciaga.
The actress donned a bold black leather jacket from the fashion house’s Fall 2025 collection, which featured a corset-style silhouette and a busk closure. The fitted jacket, with its sleek and structured design, perfectly paired with Nicole’s mid-rise, dark-wash jeans—a sophisticated take on the “big pants, tight top” style formula. To accentuate her waist, she cinched the look with a black Khaite belt, distinguished by its eye-catching silver buckle.
Completing the outfit, Nicole chose pointed-toe heels that subtly peeked out from beneath her jeans, adding an extra touch of refinement to the ensemble. Keeping her beauty look minimal, she wore her platinum blonde hair in her signature straight style with a center part, paired with a soft pink gloss and natural, bushy brows.
This appearance marked Nicole’s highly anticipated return to the Cannes Film Festival after nearly eight years. Her timing was impeccable, as it coincided with the announcement that she would be honored at the Kering and Cannes Film Festival’s 2025 Women in Motion dinner, where she will receive the prestigious Women in Motion Award. The award recognizes her outstanding contributions to the film industry, particularly her transformative portrayals that have left a lasting impact on the representation of women on screen.
Earlier last month, both institutions celebrated the announcement on Instagram, hailing Nicole as a “major figure in cinema” whose work—spanning iconic roles in Eyes Wide Shut, The Hours, Big Little Lies, and Babygirl—is known for its artistic audacity and unwavering commitment to bold, groundbreaking storytelling.
