Nicole Kidman Wows in Reimagined Archival Balenciaga Gown at U.K. Premiere of Netflix’s ‘The Perfect Couple’

Nicole Kidman attended the U.K. premiere of her upcoming Netflix mystery drama, “The Perfect Couple,” wearing a black gown from Balenciaga’s pre-fall 2024 collection. The gown, which Kidman first saw from the front row at the collection’s Los Angeles runway show earlier this year, exemplifies the brand’s fusion of modern design with historical references.

The gown is a strapless minimalist creation made from black satin. It reflects creative director Demna’s deep admiration for Balenciaga’s archives, specifically paying homage to Cristóbal Balenciaga’s original designs. The dress references the founding designers “envelope dress” that Balenciaga introduced on the runway in 1967, showcasing a modern take on the iconic silhouette.

The series, which is set to premiere on Netflix on Thursday, follows the unraveling mystery as secrets and tensions come to light.
