Nicole Kidman shares what fashion means to her and how it always reflects her mood
Kidman’s affinity for fashion blossomed at a young age due to the fact that both her mom and grandma could sew and make her clothes. Now a fashion icon herself, stepping out at the Met Gala and other award shows in Haute couture, Kidman is always a vision in every designer piece she dons.
In an interview with Vogue, she reminisced about her childhood, saying that “When being fitted for dresses makes her feel like she was four and she feels pretty, but sometimes she just does not feel pretty.” This is how she described her feelings, and it is reflective of her mood.
Vogue reports that Kidman considers fashion to be a form of art. “The Big Little Lies” actor referred to fashion as “A parallel artistic life” in the interview, and added, “There is commitment to having a piece of art portrayed properly, and she is someone who does not particularly like rest. She added that, “Taking a risk is what she has always done and nor does she dwell on her mistakes.” “You get back up and you try again and you learn.”
In her cover interview , she explained that “she still goes back to shoestring indie filmmaking because it was where she was born, but then she can move into a big movie studio like Practical Magic, too. But according to her, “That adds an enormous amount of pressure and responsibility and how efficiently you carry that load.”
