Nicole Kidman arrived at the 2026 Academy Awards in a custom Chanel gown that immediately set off debate online, with viewers scrutinizing everything from the dress to her appearance.
The Australian actress, who is attending the ceremony as a presenter rather than a nominee, posed on the red carpet in a strapless design that combined textured embellishments with feathered detailing at the waist and hem.
Kidman, who became an official Chanel ambassador in October 2025, reportedly wore a gown inspired by the brand’s recent Métiers d’Art 2026 and Spring/Summer 2026 collections.
