Close-up photos offered only a glimpse of the "Babygirl" star's gown. It was the wider shots, however, that revealed the look viewers would soon Nicole Kidman attended the 78th Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 14, 2026, wearing a fitted white off-the-shoulder gown.
The first images highlighted Kidman's styling rather than the full dress. She wore her blond hair in a loose updo, with long bangs and strands framing her face. Soft pink lipstick, defined eye makeup, and sparkling earrings completed the look.
White feathered detailing surrounded her shoulders, but the tighter framing kept most of the gown out of view.
Kidman gave photographers another view as she turned on the carpet. From behind, the feathered trim could be seen extending across her shoulders above the fitted white fabric.She completed the look with a bracelet and rings. But the biggest visual reveal came when photographers captured her from head to toe.
The Full Look Revealed Its Intricate Details
Kidman's dress followed a sleek, column-style silhouette, but it did not extend evenly to the floor. An asymmetrical hem exposed her lower legs and pointed-toe heels.
According to People, Kidman, a Chanel ambassador, wore a white wool crepe bustier dress by the fashion house. The gown was embellished with 46 flowers made from layered pieces of silk crepe, silk organza, and raffia, all rendered in subtle shades of white.
The elaborate floral embellishments brought texture to the otherwise streamlined design, while the uneven hem added another distinctive element. Kidman completed the look with Chanel shoes and jewelry, along with a vintage OMEGA watch.
The complete look soon became a talking point online, where reactions ranged from criticism to enthusiastic praise.

Kidman Joined Mariska Hargitay for a Playful Emmys Exchange
Kidman also became part of the ceremony when Mariska Hargitay turned her monologue into a playful nod to the actress's familiar AMC theater ad.
As seen in the Emmys video, Hargitay initially struck a sentimental note as she reflected on being surrounded by people who had dedicated their lives to storytelling.
"I am truly deeply moved, and so incredibly grateful, to be in a room full of people who have dedicated their lives to telling stories," Hargitay said.
She then shifted into language that deliberately echoed Kidman's AMC monologue. "At the end of the day," Hargitay continued, "we come to TV for magic. To laugh, to cry, to care - because we need that, all of us."
The reference did not go unanswered. Kidman, who was seated near the front, stood up and playfully objected. "Now, Mariska, come on," Kidman said. "That's mine! That's my bit! You can't do that."
Hargitay continued with the routine, prompting another interruption from Kidman. "That's my line! That's actually my line," she said. Hargitay then brought the scripted back-and-forth to its punchline: "Zip it, Movie Lady. It's TV's turn tonight!"
Kidman's Emmys appearance came just two weeks after another striking red-carpet moment in Los Angeles. She joined Sandra Bullock at the Warner Bros. Pictures "Practical Magic 2" premiere at Directors Village on August 31.
Bullock Opened the Fashion Duel With Velvet and a Daring Surprise
Bullock approached the witchy assignment from a deliciously dark direction. Her custom Louis Vuitton gown, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, featured black velvet, a floor-sweeping skirt, and a sheer plunging cutout that supplied the evening's most daring flash of skin.

Bullock added metallic stud earrings and a subtle French manicure. Her natural pink lipstick kept the makeup understated, while her side-parted brunette hair fell in cascading waves.
Her outfit could easily have dominated the carpet alone. Kidman, however, arrived with a very different interpretation of supernatural glamour.
Black Lace Gave Kidman Her Most Bewitching Premiere Look Yet
Kidman offered an early glimpse of creative director Pieter Mulier's vision for Atelier Versace in a sleeveless black hand-intarsia lace dress. The ornate overlay carried delicate botanical motifs, giving the outfit just enough enchanted-forest energy without making her look as though she had arrived clutching a cauldron.

The beauty choices remained softer than the fashion. Defined lashes, warm eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, and a satin pink lip delivered luminous glamour without competing with the lace.

Together, the women looked wildly different but perfectly coordinated. Bullock served gothic matriarch with a mischievous streak, while Kidman appeared to have wandered out of an enchanted garden wearing couture.
