Nicole Kidman is trending this week for reasons that have nothing to do with a new film or a red carpet appearance. On September 4, Slovak pop singer Adéla released a song titled simply "Nicole Kidman," the fourth single from her debut album "PRIMA." The track name-checks specific Kidman film moments, including her corseted Moulin Rouge! era and her 2024 role in "Babygirl," and the accompanying music video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, restages several of those looks. Kidman has responded warmly, telling a fan on social media that she knows exactly who Adéla is and plans to attend the singer's concert in Nashville on September 21.

It's a pop culture moment built entirely on Kidman's image, which makes it worth looking at what that image actually is right now. Kidman has spent the past several red carpet cycles building one of the more recognizable style identities in Hollywood, anchored almost entirely by Chanel. She became an official brand ambassador for the house in October 2025, and it shows: at the 2026 Met Gala, where she served as a co-chair for the "Costume Art" theme, she wore a custom Chanel gown by creative director Matthieu Blazy in saturated red sequins, with feathered trim at the cuffs and hips and a dropped-waist silhouette that leaned directly into a Moulin Rouge-adjacent, cabaret-showgirl mood, a fitting echo given the song now built around her.
