Nicole Kidman wows at Met Gala 2024 in a showstopping Balenciaga gown and matching opera gloves

Nicole Kidman was a vision in monochrome as she prepared to walk the Met Gala red carpet on Monday. 

The Australian actress, 59, proved she’s still one of Hollywood’s best dressed stars as she posed outside The Mark Hotel in New York City ahead of travelling to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

Designed by Balenciaga, Nicole’s dramatic ballgown featured white strapless bodice and train, which draped atop a plume of black fabric tassels reminiscent of feathers. 

The look was completed with a pair of long white opera gloves and star-shaped diamond stud earrings. 

For makeup, Nicole enhanced her alabaster complexion with dramatic blush, black winged eyeliner and peach-hued glossy lipstick.

She wore her strawberry blonde hair out in loose waves, parted in the centre. 

Nicole was joined by her country music rocker husband Keith Urban, 59, who wore a dark blue suit and black dress shoes. 

The couple were seen packing on the PDA before climbing into a waiting car and driving to the The Metropolitan Museum of Art to unite with fellow VIP guests on the red carpet.

The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition falls on the first Monday in May every year and is held at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This year the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion while the dress code is The Garden of Time.

Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth are this year’s co-chairs. Also on the committee is Vogue’s Anna Wintour.

The honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.

‘This year’s co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,’ Vogue shared.

The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute’s permanent collection – with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.

The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea, and sky. 

‘It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,’ said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition. 

‘One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.’
