The Golden Globe Awards Have Always Been Nicole Kidman’s Time To Shine
This year will be no different.
At this point in her career, Nicole Kidman is undeniably an award season pro. Throughout almost four decades of fame, the multi-hyphenate has secured invitations to every major ceremony, including the Emmy Awards, the Grammy Awards, the Academy Awards, and the Golden Globe Awards. To no surprise, Kidman’s red carpet looks are just as trophy-worthy as her nominated performances. The six-time Golden Globe winner made her debut at the annual ceremony in 1992, and since then, she’s maintained her stylish reputation in Givenchy, Prada, Versace, and Alexander McQueen (to name a few designers). And if her previous step-and-repeats prove anything, it’s that Kidman’s 18th Globes ceremony on Jan. 5 will be one for the look books.
At just 25 years old, the fashion muse’s inaugural appearance (she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for 1992 film Billy Bathgate) included a timeless black gown, complete with an eccentric curved neckline. This LBD solidified her as one to watch on the Globes circuit. Fast forward to 1996, when she took home her first Golden Globe in honor of the crime comedy, To Die For. With her new trophy in hand, Kidman posed in a strapless white sheath dress adorned with shimmery embroidery atop the bodice. The next year, she returned to the Beverly Hills hotspot in another luxe LBD, courtesy of Givenchy Spring 1997. Just like the original runway look, the bodice’s sheer section is still talked about today. Nearly two decades later, Kidman sourced Givenchy once again for her 2018 attire. Designed by the creative director at the time, Matthew M. Williams, the noir number paid homage to her ‘97 LBD with a see-through bodice and striking shoulder embellishments.
