Nicole Kidman Nails Classic French Style at Chanel

What comes to mind when you think of being a front-row guest at a fashion show? As for me, I’d probably out do myself with my outfit, maybe something bold and dramatic. After all, sitting at the front means all eyes and cameras will be on me. But Nicole Kidman proved that you don’t need to go overboard to make an impression.

The actress attended the Chanel’s Spring 2026 show which took place during Paris Fashion Week on October 6, sitting front row alongside other A-list guests including Margot Robbie, Penélope Cruz, Pedro Pascal, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Ayo Edebiri. They all arrived dressed in Chanel to support the new creative director of the French house, Matthieu Blazy.

Nicole Kidman was announced as a Chanel ambassador during the event. She came with her daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. Styled by Jason Bolden, Nicole wore a crisp white button-up shirt embroidered with a red Chanel logo, and wide-leg jeans. She paired the look with black pointed pumps and carried an oxblood quilted flap bag. This outfit captured the very essence of French style.

Sharing her thoughts on the look, Kidman described it as “very chic and simple, and understated in a way but luxe,” “I never could have imagined [wearing] cashmere jeans” she added. Even though the fit was relaxed, it still had details that hints luxury in the most quiet way.

For an actress who we’ve always seen in full red carpet glamour, this laid-back yet polished look feels like the start of something new for both Kidman and Chanel.
