Here are some photos from last night’s Cannes Film Festival premiere of The Killing of a Sacred Deer, one of the many Nicole Kidman films premiering at the film festival. At first, I only saw photos of Nicole from the waist up, and I was like, “Ooo, this is gonna be good!” Then I was like, “what’s that white thing blocking the view of Nicole’s skirt?” Oh, right. The white thing IS Nicole’s skirt. GIANT SIGH.
This look is Calvin Klein and I don’t really understand why this exists and why Kidman chose it. It reminds me very much of something Carrie Bradshaw would have worn in the year 2000, or something Sarah Jessica Parker would have worn to the Emmys in 2001. That ballerina look is just so… difficult to pull off. And I just don’t get why there’s bright white tulle paired with a classic black top. I’m not into it. What I am into? Colin Farrell looking like a friggin’ movie star in these photos. Yowza!
More photos… Eva Longoria in Marchesa. Like, Eva isn’t the It Girl anymore, but surely she has better access than this? She could easily find another non-Marchesa gown which could easily be more flattering than this.
Kristin Scott Thomas, looking incredibly in this vibrant pink Schiaparelli. I would not have chosen this for her, but she looks amazing.
Andie MacDowell in Roberto Cavalli. One, she’s 59 YEARS OLD. Two, her cheekbones are FIRE. Like, we should all be so lucky to have this kind of bone structure.
Jourdan Dunn in Elie Saab. She’s beautiful but this dress SUCKS.

her fillers look like they hurt – alot. I feel sorry for Kidman that she cannot let her face in peace.
Her cheeks look especially painful. Does Nicole really think this looks better than some age on her face? I mean, she must since she keeps going back for more, but damn.
I remember not being able to watch the movie Australia because her face and over inflated lips were too much of a distraction. Not even Hugh Jackman was able to keep me watching (which says A LOT). She’s definitely eased up on that nonsense, but she needs to stop all together.
Nicole’s dress is gorgeous. Not everyone could wear this style but on her it is stunning, such a nice change from the usual style of dress you see on the runway. The shoes are so pretty with it too.
I love the dress, especially in comparison to some other things we’ve seen recently! Why? It gives me nostalgic feelings about my daughter’s senior dance recital AND you can’t see through it!
I also love Nicole’s dress – and the shoes and the styling! It’s very appropriate to the occasion!
She’s starting to look like a supervillain
Kristin Scott Thomas and Andie MacDowell show Nicole how it’s done, ageing gracefully, beautifully.
Nicole is still beautiful but she’s taking away everything that made her a stand out and unique looking, the gorgeous red hair, the cuteness in her face. She is more and more, slowly looking like many of the other Hollywood filler faces now.
I think Eva looked gorgeous and that dress is stunning.
Nicole’s dress is hideous but I like her shoes.
Call me crazy but I LOVE Nicole’s look. The dress, the shoes…not the Botoxy/filler face but everything else.
I’m crazy too then. I think her outfit is great, it reads as tailored whimsy to me.
Me too. I love her choices. Also. she mixes it up so you never know what to expect. I prefer this to some others who always wear the same silhouette or look. I think she knows what flatters her body.
I love it too. It’s playful and whimsical in just the right way. I’ve also come to respect how she rarely seems to play it safe when it comes to dressing for the red carpet and is always taking these fashion risks to keep it interesting.
Totally agree with Lucy Honey Church. She always brings the fun and takes risks and doesn’t wear a boring old column gown every time like a lot of celebs these days.
I like it too … simple but playful, suits her well. She looks happy this way.
Me too. She pulls it off well. That hair tho?
Love it. It’s just right – not too detailed, perfectly cut and constructed, not overly young or trendy in color… love it. I would wear it in a heartbeat.
I love it too!
I agree….but I do not think many others could pull it off.
IMO she hasn’t looked this good in a while. She looks less frozen and I really like the dress.
Farrell looks tired, though?
yay for Collin!
he would have been so much hotter if he had shaved!
Collin can do no wrong for me,
Whoa Botox and fillers are Nicole’s best friends.
I’m so happy Farrell is having his dues, he’s come A LONG way from his party boy ways….
Seven Psychopaths, The Lobster, In Bruges, and now this film…
He’s grown as has his acting.
Good to see Colin getting some exposure.
Hello, my favourite leprechaun.
I highly recommend Saving Mr. Banks for his heartbreaking performance (the movie as a whole is wonderful).
Nicole is a very pretty woman but I wish she would slow down with the filler injections/Botox.
Finally Jourdan Dunn! I feel like she’s been blacked out by all the media and fashion companies… any tea on what’s going on?
I know 2 things about Jourdan Dunn:
1. She used to walk in the VIctoria’s Secret show
2. She dissed VS on her way out:

Not surprised if other companies aren’t eager to work with her after her unprofessionalism there.
Kidman looks STUNNING!! I’d rather this than all the other boring shit that i’m seeing! Longoria is a very attractive woman but that dress is just meh!
Yes, I liked the look too! It’s Cannes. Also Kristin Scott Thomas looks pretty bad and EL is alright enough. This whole post was weird.
KST’s dress would work if she was 85!
I agree, Rachel. I thought Kidman looks gorgeous. The only thing I’d change is her hair color: this blonde, while much easier to maintain, just washes her out. She really needs to either go to a darker blonde, or preferably go back to strawberry blonde:

I know she said she’s fried her hair from coloring/processing, and that she uses wigs a lot…but she should def. try to keep her BLL look, or better yet, her natural, curly red from her early years. THAT was gorgeous!

Also, AD looks AMAZING!
She looks pretty consistently gorgeous to me. The shoes are perfection with this dress.
Eh, maaaybe rethink the headline for today? At first glance I thought it had to do with Manchester – that she had commented on it or something.
I thought it meant there was an explosion in Cannes too. The Manchester terror attack breaks my heart.
Nicole’s dress is the best there. She tried something and it worked for me. I like the neckline and yes those shoes with that dress. The length is perfect on her. The other dresses are boring and dated. Can we get one more black lace over nude dress? Ugh.
Agreed. She’s very hit and miss, but this is a win in my book. Elegant but interesting, and a nice departure from her usual parade of high-necked frilly things. This one is Cannes and it works.
I love the dress. I’m a sucker for these full skirts and the black and white keeps it from being too princess-y. It’s miles better than all the sheer glitter dresses, they’re getting so boring. And her styling is on point for this dress although … why am I only now noticing her massive ears??? They’re kinda cute. LOL
Yep, I’m down with the tulle. Am a sucker for a ballerina look. And Nicole’s shoes are amazing! She can use as weapons later if anyone gets handsy.
LOVE the dress – very vintage with a modern twist for the bodice. I think more Grace Kelly than SJP.
Yes! Grace Kelly in Rear Window wore a similar dress – gorgeous.
I thought the same, that maybe it is intended to be a revisitation of that iconic dress.
Nicole Kidman looks lovely. I like her hair.
Andie MacDowell fantastic! I like her dress, i like her make up, i like her hair.
Yes, her hair looks great! I’m assuming there are some extensions in, right?
Nicole looks great, tulle is a personal bias just like lace,
While I ‘m a Kristin Scott Thomas fan, this colour is an eternal property of Barbara Cartland.
Bahahah you are so right! Great comment
Am I the only one who very rarely thinks she looks good on the red carpet?
And the only one who thinks those see-through dresses look tacky?
Must be an age thing!
Andie proves you can age and be sexy if you want to. I can’t stand these ridiculous rules about how a woman should cut her hair and not show her legs past a certain age. 70 doesn’t even seem old anymore. At a recent family gathering, I looked at my mother and her sisters and realized that aging has changed so much. Nicole should take note. She abuses her face with that overwork.
I want to like her dress but the silhouette is a disaster. The skirt is all wrong.
The others look forgettable. Jourdan is a beauty but she has zero presence on red carpets. She lacks something.
This look is different for her but I think it really works on her. The dress is lovely, doesn’t veer into costume territory as it might if it were pink or something.
I’ve seen her face look worse, and I like the red lipstick so overall. Contrast her to Longoria, who looks both predictable and matronly and I’d say this is a big win for Nicole, lol.
Agreed. She looks good and I actually like the dress on her.
Call me crazy: I like it. And I love the shoes. I am not sure about her hair…speaking of: Why Colin Farrell’s hair looks so greasy ??
I would love Jourdan’s if it were not the granny-pants-see through. The rest of it is beautiful.
I like Nicole’s dress! It brings some fun to the seemingly dour soirée.
But couldn’t she have at least brushed her hair? Maybe a better hair style could have made this a great look.
IMHO her face appears less cringe-worthy than she was looking like a few years ago. I’m relieved she did not permanently disfigure herself as I had feared. But she HAS taken her facial injectables way beyond the line lately. Love her, love her with her sweet family, and love this ensemble. She gives all those vapid Stooper Models true glamour to which they can aspire.
Love Nicole’s entire look. Andre MacDo looks amazing. Why does Nicole seem to get a pass in Hollywood for changing her face so much while others such as Renee Zellweger do not? I mean Nicole’s career is still on fire while Renee’s is on a slow burn to nowhere.
People turned on Renee Zellwegger like a pack of hungry hyenas. I don’t know what she did after COLD MOUNTAIN but it sure upset a lot of people.
Colin is smoking Hot.
I LOVE how she looks, that dress is perfect, not too long and not too big.
Agree completely.
I’m disappointed in Nicole’s dress. When I read “tulle explosion” I was all “hell Yeah!” but it’s kind of boring. She looks great and I love the shoes, I just needed more tulle and more explosion I guess.
I love Jourdan Dunn’s dress. The skirt is amazing.
I like Eva’s dress, that style is getting a bit dated though.
Andie looks great. She used to be everywhere, commercials, movies, etc. I kind of miss her.
Andie McDowell looks fantastic.
What happened to Colin Farrell’s face? He looks like a Madame Tussauds figure of himself.
The dress would be better without the V suspenders and WITH a necklace or drop earrings of some kind. But I do love the skirt. It’s got WOW, and it’s wildly impractical (when she sits, she probably can’t see over it), and that’s just what should be on the Cannes red carpet. The white makes a fantastic statement.
Eva’s dress makes her look like Ethel Merman, when Ms. Merman was in her 70’s. WHAT a bunch of AWFUL dresses!! So frustrating to know that if I had money and fame, I could dress SO much better than this!! 🙂
Actually, I wouldn’t even need money…I could find dresses better than these at a consignment shop.
