Nicole Kidman Embraced the Peplum in Chanel at the 2026 Oscars


Nicole Kidman is a presenter at the 2026 Oscars ceremony, where the star will reunite with her Moulin Rouge co-star Ewan McGregor in honor of the film’s 25th anniversary.

But before all that, Kidman walked the red carpet in her showgirl best—a custom Chanel dress by Matthieu Blazy. The powder-pink silk number featured a bustier embroidered with white and gray crystals and black beads, and a peplum waist made of beige, pink, nude, and apricot feathers, which also cascaded down onto the skirt.

The custom design was an evening iteration of look 45 from Chanel’s spring 2026 couture collection, which originally featured a high-neck top. It was reworked to create a strapless bodice, but had the same pale-pink feathered waist and train detail.

Kidman accessorized with Chanel shoes and the label’s high jewelry pieces, including 18-carat white gold knot earrings with cultured pearls and diamonds, as well as rings made of 18-carat white gold and diamonds. She may not be nominated today, but her elegant red carpet look was worthy of its very own award.
