Nicole Kidman, 57, reveals biggest style ‘train wreck’ and it is one of her most iconic red carpet looks
Nicole Kidman revealed the ‘train wreck’ red carpet look that she thinks is her worst fashion faux pas, which happens to be one of her most iconic looks.
On Friday, the 57-year-old Babygirl star debuted her past looks during an interview with W magazine and what ‘evil’ looks touched, she wonders to this day.
“My mother thought I had a lot of bad red carpet looks,” she admitted of her fashion mistakes.
“I remember wearing a headdress to the Golden Globes once. I didn’t know what I was doing. I need some train wrecks!”
The flapper-style dress she’s probably referring to — which she wore to the January 2004 Golden Globes — features a halter neckline and is adorned with oversized gold sequins running across the sheer bodice. The backless dress teased her slim body and her side boobs.
Her blonde locks were styled in tight curls and she paired them with a gold headband paired with a matching clutch bag and bracelets, giving the retro-inspired look a Roaring Twenties vibe.

Kidman pointed to her favorite red carpet look, mentioning her 1997 Oscars ensemble, where she dazzled in a chartreuse Dior by Galliano gown.
She attended the star-studded night out with her ex-husband Tom Cruise. The exes were married for 11 years, from 1990 to 2001, and cited irreconcilable differences.
Of the look, the Australian beauty said: ‘I also love the gold Galliano dress for the 2000 Oscars, which no one talks about.
“I was wearing the most beautiful little 24-carat gold vintage mesh gloves. There were little gemstones in it.”
She did note that she is inspired by the formality of men’s fashion in her everyday looks, saying she “favors a tie and a suit.”
“My natural way of dressing would be much more trousers, tie, suit and jacket,” she said.
Kidman added: “My first purchase when I saved all my daily allowance was an Alaïa suit. I wish I kept it. It cost a fortune. It’s sickening that I did that.’
Her fashion revelation comes just days before the 2025 Golden Globes, with the actress being nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture for her role in A24’s Babygirl.

Nicole recently told W Magazine that she plans to save all her favorite looks for two of her daughters, Faith, 14, and Sunday, 16, whom she shares with her singer husband, Keith Urban.
“I wrapped them all beautifully,” she told the outlet. ‘They are museum pieces. They raid my closet all the time.
“I’m like, ‘Okay, what’s mine is yours.’ But I don’t raid their closet, even if I think, “Oh, that’s cute.” But I’m not allowed to take anything with me. It’s a one-way street.’
The mother of four also shares a daughter, Bella, 32, whom she adopted with Cruise in 1992. The exes also adopted a son, Connor, 29.
“I got married very quickly and very young,” she said in 2012 about her marriage to the Mission Impossible actor.
‘But I don’t regret it because it has ensured that Bella and Connor and I have had a fantastic marriage for a long time.’
