In January 2017, Nicole Kidman attended the Palm Springs International Film Festival Film Awards Gala in Palm Springs, California, wearing a full‑length Dior gown from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s debut Spring 2017 collection — a landmark season for the fashion house.

Presented at Paris Fashion Week in September 2016, this collection marked a historic moment for Dior: Chiuri became the first woman to lead the storied house in its 70‑year history.
Her debut was more than a runway—it was a manifesto. Chiuri blended Dior’s iconic heritage with a fresh, unapologetically feminist vision, infusing the lineup with youthful energy, cultural relevance, and a dose of streetwise edge.

Nicole Kidman Embraces Whimsy in Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Debut Dior Collection
Before picking up her ‘International Star’ award for her performance in Lion, the then-49-year-old Australian actress and film producer smiled for the cameras in an embroidered beaded tulle gown from the Christian Dior Spring 2017 collection.
👠 Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2017 Shoe & Fashion Highlights:
- 📍 Kate Mara at the “Man Down” premiere: She wore a sheer, embroidered Christian Dior Spring 2017 dress paired with edgy Christian Louboutin “Cagouletta” pumps featuring cut‑outs and spikes.
- 📍 Chiara Ferragni at the FN Achievement Awards: She completed her head‑to‑toe Dior Spring/Summer 2017 look with pointed‑toe “J’Adior” slingback pumps tied with ribbon straps—a standout logo‑heel moment.
- 📍 Kate Mara in Dior slingbacks: A chic pairing of a little white dress with black lambskin Dior slingbacks accented by the “J’Adior” ribbon and distinctive comma heels.
- 📍 Nicole Kidman at Cannes 2017: In a Dior Spring 2017 couture gown, she elevated the look with metallic green ankle‑strap Dior sandals—an elegant accessory highlight.
The gown’s partially sheer bodice was adorned with two angel wings clutching a heart, creating a symbolic and ethereal touch. Below the waist, the skirt flowed into a princess-like silhouette, showcasing a romantic image of a couple in love.

Nicole Kidman’s Dior gown was so long and flowing that it completely covered her shoes, leaving them hidden from view on the red carpet.
While we love Nicole’s diamond-and-gemstone necklace and jewelry from Fred Leighton, her gown is a mess that not even Taylor Swift could make work. Do you agree, or are you in love with Nicole’s whimsical gown?
Kirsten Dunst, Dev Patel, Laura Dern, Andrew Garfield, and Amy Adams attended the gala with the Australian actress.
