‘Practical Magic 2’ Star Nicole Kidman (59) Grooves Front Row at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show as a Viral Song Plays Her Name
Nicole Kidman has long been a fixture on fashion’s front rows, and few stars attract as much attention just by taking a seat. The Oscar winner, 59, has been in the middle of a particularly busy and visible year, balancing blockbuster sequels with prestige television.
Her 2026 slate has included ‘Scarpetta’, which premiered on Prime Video on March 11, and Apple TV’s ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’, which arrived in April. She also reunited with Sandra Bullock for ‘Practical Magic 2’, the long-awaited sequel to the 1998 witchy cult classic, directed by Susanne Bier.
On October 18, Kidman turned up at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which moved from New York to Los Angeles for the first time in 19 years. The spectacle took place at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, where the last L.A. show in 2007 was hosted by Heidi Klum and featured performances from Will.I.Am, Seal and the Spice Girls.
The front row was packed with famous faces, including Jordyn Woods, Tinashe, Maria Shriver and Victoria Monét. Kidman arrived with her daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban and took her seat looking suited and booted in a business-forward ensemble, including a white button-down shirt with a tie.

Kidman sat next to Vanessa Bryant, whose 23-year-old daughter Natalia was making her first appearance on the Victoria’s Secret runway. Natalia walked the show in bejeweled jeans, and photos captured the 2 women chatting and cheering from the front row.
Hello! Magazine noted that Kidman and Bryant shared the front row, which also included Hillary Super, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Esmé Creed-Miles. Several outlets shared a photo of the actress with loose, honey-blonde waves and wispy bangs, praising how she stunned at the event.
The night’s most viral moment, however, came from the soundtrack. As models strutted down the runway, the show played Adéla’s hit song ‘Nicole Kidman’, a cheeky reference to the Hollywood icon herself.
In a video captured by PEOPLE, Kidman was seen smiling and bopping along as the viral track played. She was also treated to a lively view of Tate McRae’s performance, which kept the actress moving and grooving through the evening.

The runway itself was packed with returning favorites. Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Gigi Hadid, Ashley Graham, Paloma Elsesser and Alex Consani all walked, while Alessandra Ambrosio marked her 20th Victoria’s Secret show and Elsa Hosk returned after an 8-year hiatus.
Musical performances came from Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, KATSEYE and Megan Moroney, continuing the brand’s all-women lineup. The show also included a surprise runway debut from Kylie Jenner, who wore the revived $50 million Fantasy Bra.
Kidman’s calendar shows no signs of slowing down. Beyond her recent projects, she is set to return in the television adaptation of ‘Big Little Lies’, which is expected to revisit the women of Monterey with new secrets.
For now, though, she seemed more than happy to enjoy a night out. Between a front-row seat, a celebrity-sized song moment, and a fashion spectacle returning to Los Angeles, Kidman proved she can steal attention without ever stepping onto the runway.
What was the best part of Nicole Kidman’s night at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show?
