With her long limbs and model-like stature, Nicole Kidman has the body for fashion. Over the past twenty years, the Australian actress’s style has remained consistent: She often chooses long, body-skimming dresses, high or straight necklines, and designer labels. While her wardrobe has become more sparkly since her 2006 marriage to Keith Urban, Kidman has shied away from over-the-top plunging necklines and high hemlines, opting for more modest ensembles than many of her Hollywood counterparts. But in the actress’s case, modest doesn’t mean boring — during her recent stint as Cannes Film Festival judge, Kidman fulfilled her red-carpet duties in a slew of show-stopping gowns from Christian Dior, Chanel, Giorgio Armani, and more. Take a look back at the Aussie’s style, from her wild-haired Tom Cruise days to the present, in her look book.
