On the blue carpet, she\u00a0struck poses<\/a>, smiled, and blew kisses to photographers while rotating to offer every angle.

One observer didn’t hold back,\u00a0questioning<\/a>,\u00a0“What’s wrong with her legs? She can’t walk properly.”\u00a0<\/i>Another viewer, who had noticed a pattern over time,\u00a0remarked<\/a>,\u00a0“The last few appearances she’s made she looks like she’s struggling to walk.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A puzzled fan\u00a0speculated<\/a>,\u00a0“What is with her? Is she buying shoes too big? The video of her unable to walk on the cobblestones was chalked up to wearing stilletos, that looked too big. These look too big as well. Or incredibly uncomfortable. Or is she having other issues?”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nicole Kidman’s<\/a>\u00a0Met Gala dress, though overshadowed by the attention on her walking style, was more than just a striking red carpet choice. It was a\u00a0historic recreation<\/a>\u00a0crafted by Balenciaga under the direction of the house’s now-outgoing creative lead, Demna.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0original design<\/a>\u00a0dates back to 1952 and was famously captured by Richard Avedon for the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar London that same year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Working closely with her stylist Jason Bolden, Kidman drew inspiration from the maison\u2019s archives, expressing a deep appreciation for the way Balenciaga’s identity has evolved over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“When Demna sent me this sketch, I was inspired by the way he was able to take such a beautiful piece from the house’s past and modernize it in a way that felt so uniquely me,” she\u00a0noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Handcrafted in the Balenciaga couture ateliers at 10 Avenue George V, the gown took 700 hours to complete, drawing from the designer’s original sketch rather than the final version produced in 1952.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A key update to the historic design was the use of silk organza, chosen to enhance the structure and definition of the silhouette. The\u00a0tailoring aspect<\/a>\u00a0resonated strongly with this year’s Met Gala theme, with the hourglass-shaped basque at the core of the dress constructed using traditional couture techniques.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kidman\u00a0shared<\/a>, “When I spoke to Anna [Wintour], she shared with me that the red-carpet theme was Tailored for You, and this dress embodies that. From the hips to the bows around the waist to the corset, Demna and his team have this dress tailored to perfection. The fabric and the tulle is divine.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The inspiration for the look was further shaped by images of female dandies, particularly Eartha Kitt, shared by Bolden. Kidman expressed that the evening was a tribute to these iconic women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bolden also\u00a0chimed<\/a>\u00a0in, “I think what\u2019s really special about my relationship with Nicole is that we get to collaborate on more than just a surface level when it comes to history and design. This one hits home in a different way, and it\u2019s very awesome to see one of my references through her.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Aside from her outfit, Kidman’s team has also spoken out about her\u00a0dramatic hair transformation<\/a>\u00a0for the Met Gala. This marked a departure from her usual voluminous blowouts and signature long blonde tresses to a bold two-toned blonde-and-brunette super-short cut.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Virtue Creative Director and celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel\u00a0crafted the look<\/a>\u00a0using a combination of Virtue, Denman, and Kristin Ess products. The inspiration behind\u00a0the hairstyle<\/a>\u00a0was to capture the essence of dandyism and embracing individuality, elegance, and confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
