Nicole Kidman’s Most Memorable Met Gala Outfits Over the Years
Nicole Kidman readily acknowledges that the Met Gala transcends the typical red carpet experience.
“I still find it incredibly exciting,” Kidman shared with Vogue in May 2025. “And I still feel nervous walking up those stairs.”
Back in 2003, the Academy Award winner made her initial appearance at New York City’s iconic event as a cochair for the “Goddess: The Classical Mode” exhibition.
Since that time, Kidman has consistently been a fashion icon, wowing attendees with her adherence to themes and unforgettable outfits.
“Sometimes [my fashion is] armor,” she mentioned in an interview with Vogue in October 2025. “At times it’s playful, other times it’s sexy. It all depends on my mood. Occasionally it’s androgynous, at times it’s like, screw you.”
