Nicole Kidman, 58, Slays in a Curve-Hugging Strapless Gown That Commands the 2026 Oscars Red Carpet
Nicole Kidman made a breathtaking appearance on the red carpet at the 2026 Oscars on Sunday, March 15. The 58-year-old actress turned heads at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, wearing a strapless, full-length gown adorned with feathery accents that highlighted her elegant silhouette.
Kidman was one of many big names presenting during the ceremony, including Will Arnett, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Robert Downey Jr., Anne Hathaway, Paul Mescal, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Evans, and Sigourney Weaver. Conan O’Brien returned as host for the second year in a row, with Matt Berry serving as the announcer.
In an interview with Variety before the ceremony, Kidman shared her pre-Oscar routine. “I go to church in the morning. It just centers me. It’s what I do on a Sunday,” she said. She also joked about attending parties later in the evening, “I may go out to a party or two…I should go out.”
Kidman has been navigating major personal changes, having finalized her divorce from country star Keith Urban in January 2026. “I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good,” she told Variety. “What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that.” The couple, who married in June 2006 in Sydney, share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.
