‘The Northman’ Star Nicole Kidman (59) Ties It All Together With a Sharp Shirt-And-Tie Look at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Nicole Kidman has spent much of the year proving she is as much a fashion force as a screen icon, and her latest round of photos has fans buzzing all over again. From magazine covers to front-row seats, the Oscar winner has turned 2026 into one long, stylish victory lap.
That momentum has been building for months. She fronted the September issue of British Vogue, shot by Venetia Scott and styled by Poppy Kain, and more recently sat front row at Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2027 show in Paris alongside her daughter Faith.
The newest images come from her appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 18, an event that relocated from New York to Los Angeles for the first time in 19 years. Kidman arrived in a crisp white button-down shirt, a striped suit tie, and a pencil skirt finished with garter-style details.
Photos shared on X by film account Cinethology capture the look in 2 very different moods. In one, she sits in the back of a car clutching a burgundy handbag, while the other is a sun-streaked close-up that plays up her honey-blonde waves and the bold red-and-black stripes of her tie.
The outfit quickly became one of the most talked-about looks of the night, with Marie Claire naming her arrival the evening’s most stylish surprise. After Kidman shared the look on social media, Instagram users flooded her comments, with one even calling her a divine being.

Her outfit wasn’t the only thing grabbing attention. Models walked the runway to Adéla’s viral hit “Nicole Kidman,” and the actress was all smiles as her own name filled the room. Videos from the front row show her grooving along to the track, which has become a full-blown TikTok craze. It even earned a stamp of approval from Madonna, who joined in on the trend.
Kidman shared the front row with a star-studded crowd. Vanessa Bryant sat beside her, while the lineup also included Jordyn Woods, Tinashe, Maria Shriver, Victoria Monét and Patrick Schwarzenegger.
The shirt-and-tie styling isn’t a one-off experiment. Weeks earlier, she attended Charity Day in New York City wearing a tailored brown double-breasted suit, a white button-down shirt and a scarf knotted like a tie.
Back in March, a Variety cover package shot at Soho House Nashville also put an oversized white shirt at the center of one of her portraits. Together, these looks show a star leaning into sharp tailoring with a playful twist rather than conventional red carpet glamour.

The fashion moments line up with an especially busy stretch of work. Kidman led Prime Video’s ‘Scarpetta’, which premiered March 11, and attended the New York premiere of her series ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ in April wearing Schiaparelli.
She also returned to one of her most beloved roles with ‘Practical Magic 2’, which continues the story of the Owens sisters nearly 30 years later. Speaking with British Vogue, she credited fans for making the sequel happen, describing their demand as the driving force behind it.
At 59, Kidman continues to surprise audiences with style choices that feel daring without losing their polish. Her Victoria’s Secret appearance blended office-ready tailoring with a lingerie-inspired wink, perfectly matching the event’s mood while staying unmistakably her own.
