Nicole Kidman, originally from Australia, has recently adopted a distinctive Manhattan fashion aesthetic while promoting Prime Video’s thriller series Scarpetta. Throughout her New York appearances, Kidman’s wardrobe has highlighted the classic all-black look, blending sharp tailoring with stylish urban edge.
At the series premiere, Kidman impressed in a monochromatic Chanel outfit expertly styled by Jason Bolden. She wore a sharply tailored double-breasted blazer paired with a sheer maxi skirt featuring delicate inserts and a fringed hem, combining structured formality with a subtle feminine softness. Earlier in the day, the actor favored a more streamlined outfit with a single-breasted jacket along with relaxed-fit dress pants, leather loafers, and a burgundy Chanel handbag. This look echoed the style of a downtown magazine fashion editor immersed in a day full of press engagements.
Kidman’s arrival in New York on Monday showcased the only non-black piece in her rotation—a Chanel leopard-print coat crafted from embossed tweed, nodding to the ongoing popularity of animal prints among fashion circles. For her “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” appearance, she embodied downtown cool with a cropped leather jacket and pencil skirt from New York label Khaite.
From strict monochromatic tailoring to effortlessly tousled hair, every aspect of Kidman’s Scarpetta-related fashion choices resonates with the spirit of New York’s fashion scene. Her style transformation during this trip embodies the adage of adapting to the local culture—when in Manhattan, dress like a true New Yorker.
