If you ever doubted the power of a good hairstyle, I give you exhibit A: Nicole Kidman at the 2024 GQ Men of the Year Awards on Tuesday night. This brighter-toned, shorter-length, tousled, wavy hairstyle is a revelation. It feels fresh, youthful, and effortlessly chic—an undeniable improvement from the questionable hairstyle we saw at the 2024 Governors Awards just two days prior.
And let’s not stop at the hair. Her dress was also leagues ahead, as Nicole brought breathtaking drama in an iconic combination: red Balenciaga.
The moment instantly recalled her unforgettable 2007 Oscars look in that stunning red Balenciaga gown. Can you believe that was 16 years ago? I remember it like it was this last awards season.
This time, the dress followed Balenciaga’s signature fitted silhouette, with a high neck and long sleeves. But what makes this piece extraordinary is the dramatic satin ribbon detail. Wondering what it’s for?
It reveals the sultry twist: the dress is completely laced up at the back from head to hem. It’s a masterclass in modern sophistication with an edge.
Nicole completed her look with red pumps, rounding off an ensemble that felt like a return to her best after that minor blip. This is Nicole Kidman at her best, and I’m here for every moment of it.
Stylist: Jason Bolden.
