Lifestyle of a Fashionista

9/6/24

Nicole Kidman has played a wealthy character several times (read Nicole Kidman’s Beach-Read Cinematic Universe). The women she plays have fancy homes and sketchy husbands, and her outfits are worth a second look.

The Perfect Couple

Nicole plays Greer, the matriarch and mother of the groom in The Perfect Couple, a series on Netflix.

Read Nicole Kidman Goes all Big Little Lies in the First Trailer for Netflix’s The Perfect Couple in British Vogue. “And, from the recently released first trailer, we can confirm that it has absolutely everything fans of David E Kelley’s splashy crime dramas could wish for. A comically gigantic beach house? Check. A seemingly nauseatingly perfect marriage (this time between Kidman and Liev Schreiber, in place of Alexander Skarsgård) which quickly unravels? Check. A wardrobe of sumptuous knits that screams quiet luxury? Naturally. An inexplicable death which shakes this small community to its very core? Of course. An intense interrogation scene? Wow, this literally looks like it’s been taken straight out of Big Little Lies.”

Expats

In this series on Prime Video, she plays Margaret, a New York landscape architect who lives in Hong Kong.

From W, The Hidden Messages in Nicole Kidman’s Expats Costumes. “In Lulu Wang’s Expats, mid-2010s fashion—from spiky Valentino Rockstuds to egregiously distressed skinny jeans—helps telegraph a poignant, if not gut-wrenching exploration of grief and a meditation on belonging. Plus, the limited series continues two-time Emmy winner Nicole Kidman’s small-screen character-defining style domination, following luxurious cashmere knits in Big Little Lies (costume designed by Alix Friedberg) and a series of plush, enviable longline coats in The Undoing (by Signe Sejlund).”

Nine Perfect Strangers

Based on the same-titled bestseller by Liane Moriarty. In the Hulu series, she is the Russian-born, slightly sinister owner of a deluxe holistic spa called Tranquillum. Costume designer: Alix Friedberg 

From The Telegraph, The story behind Nicole Kidman’s wellness guru look in Nine Perfect Strangers. “Kidman’s character wears white from head-to-toe in every scene and Friedberg meticulously sourced designer pieces from Zimmermann and The Buddhist Temple in Los Angeles, as well as Birkenstock footbed sandals and more specific pieces such as a white rash vest and bikini bottoms from Une Piece for a bathing scene.“

The Undoing

Nicole plays a successful New York City therapist from a wealthy family in this Max series.

From The Cut, Nicole Kidman’s Coats Are the Real Stars of The Undoing. “The Undoing, is a melodramatic murder mystery in which Nicole Kidman plays yet another tense-faced rich lady on the verge of a mental breakdown.”
