‘A basic black dress? Sigh’: Fans roll their eyes as Nicole Kidman arrives at the 2025 Met Gala

Nicole Kidman has arrived, and in true Met Gala fashion, she’s brought the drama. For the event, the actress wore a black off-the-shoulder Balenciaga gown that had bow strap detailing in the front.

The actress's gown followed the dress code of the Met Gala, which was kept super fine: a tailored Black style. Kidman paired the gown with diamond-studded, leaf-shaped earrings, a bracelet, and black Balenciaga heels.

However, this is not the first time that the fans have seen her in a black outfit. The actress was seen in a black and white Balenciaga gown for the 2024 Met Gala as well. As a long-time ambassador for the brand, Kidman’s look comes as no surprise, as she’s known for bringing Balenciaga’s style to life.
