Nicole Kidman in white Nina Ricci: classy elegance or completely boring?
Nicole Kidman was honored this weekend at the neverending Santa Barbara Film Festival (seriously, I think it’s been going on for a month…?). Nicole picked up some kind of acting award, probably for Rabbit Hole, the role which has yearned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Nicole wore this white/cream Nina Ricci dress for the event. Thoughts on the dress… I don’t really care for Nicole in white or cream, just because she can look so good in other colors. That being said, I like this. It has a slight matronly vibe that is appropriate for the event, but it’s still chic and beautiful. It seems like the kind of dress an older society woman would wear to a charity luncheon, right? But that ends up being a good look for Nicole. Here’s more about her award:
NICOLE KIDMAN was the toast of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in California on Saturday (05Feb11) as she was honoured with a top prize.
The Moulin Rouge! star received the coveted Cinema Vanguard Award, which recognises stars who take artistic risks and make a significant contribution to film, at a special tribute as part of the 10-day event.
Taking to the stage to accept the trophy, Kidman told the audience, “I suppose that’s in my blood. I don’t even see it as taking a risk, I just see it as staying true to my heart and instinct.â€
The honour has previously been presented to Vera Farmiga, Christoph Waltz and Peter Sarsgaard.

Good for her! Even though I’m no longer a fan of Nicole Kidman in general, I have to admit, she’s one of the few people I really look forward to seeing during this awards season. When she’s on her game, there’s no one better. And when she’s not on her game, it’s horrible.

OMG - how over rated is NK??? So one dimensional as an actress & the white dress just makes her look more corpsey looking than normal,
Just proves that awards are given just because of someone’s name and connections, rather than true acting / creative abaility

I like her as an actress but I think she looks absolutely hideous here. Those lips! Ay yi yi. And her gorgeous hair is a mess.

Why does she keep straightening her hair? It looks like straw.
It would look so much better and shinier when it’s curly (I myself have naturally curly hair and I know it can look a bit messy at times, but there are rollers and curling irons to fix that, people. I used to straighten it, never will again.)

I like it!! at her age and with her red hair it works fabolous. She is not trying to miniskirt it like J-Lo that is hanging onto pop-culture

I do like her better with her natural curly hair. But you know how we women are……We want what we dont have.

Like the dress but the makeup and hair is bad or maybe she just messed with her classical beautiful face so much she can’t fix it anymore. She has that classic shiny botox face. Sad.

She must have caught the hem in the car door. Zoom in and get the scissors please.

I’m pretty sure my Grandma wore this dress to my wedding, and then was later buried in it. Keith Urban must cry himself to sleep at night. Nicole is totally looking like a botoxed Kylie Minogue in the up close face pic.

She should only wear black, grey or blue outfits

I do like the dress, very much. However, Nicole Kidman is a big reason why I no longer color or straighten my hair. She would look far better if went with a more natural look with her hair. Anyone would kill for her hair, yet she insists on torturing it. It’s a shame.
Also, (I hope this won’t draw a lot of ire) I think she has put on a wee bit too much weight FOR HER FRAME. Her tummy is a bit too roundish, and her famous coltish legs are beginning to look matronly. My Very Humble Opinion of course.

I like the dress, but her hair is terrible..

The dress is not bad.
Had she wore a nice pair of sheer hose and a close toe shoe it would have looked more polished.
(At least it was long sleeved. And not some sleeveless summer frock.)
And I am still baffled why no one in LA believes in wearing face powder.

I will say I think her slight pooch of her belly is from her pregnancy.
I realize everyone thinks she faked that pregnancy.
But all I see is the frame of a very slim girl who had a baby. And has that slight pooch.
And I bet she still weighs less than 120 at 5′10.

She needs to observe Kaiser’s “Bitch in a Jewel Tone†comments. Those shoes are awful. I wish this natural beauty would leave her face & hair alone.

yikes, she should get a bunionectomy stat! That said, I could never be a celebrity, because someone like me, examines all the imperfections. I agree the lips are no bueno!

@Marjalane: I’m sorry about your grandmother. The way you wrote that comment was hilarious though. Cracked me up. Totally agree on the Kylie comparison!

Hi Rita! Don’t set the dogs on me now!

I think the dress is hideous. Also the hemline looks like she cut it herself. The make-up isn’t doing her any favours either. I don’t even like the shoes. So I would say: fail.

yeah white is not her colour. and i really hope that unfinished hems are not a trend. still i quite like nicole in spite of everything.

She really has messed up her face, honestly how f**ked up is it that seemingly intelligent people destroy their faces just to look young

Her face looks really strange and kind of bloated/melty.
It looks quite different from her usual botoxy look. I wonder what’s going on now? Has she stopped botoxing and the effects are wearing off?

I don’t hate the dress, but I think the belt ruins it. I don’t like the shoes or the hair or her make-up choices. I do like that she’s not trying to dress like a 20-year-old.

The dress is nice but the belt and watch combo ruin it.. why would she put it on with this dress and jewelry? Is she being sponsored by Swatch or something? The shoes are a complete miss with this dress and the makeup ages her terribly. Nicole, please put on a red dress and let your curls do the rest.
