Nicole Kidman's latest look offers the ideal inspiration for weekend winter capsule wardrobes. If you usually throw on jeans and a jumper, then take note, because with a few simple tweaks, your laidback look can feel put-together and contemporary, and still comfortable.
Sharing a photo of herself exploring Chile on Instagram, Nicole was snapped wearing jeans and a blazer, a timeless outfit formula that we use throughout the year to feel cool, casual, but with the right amount of polish. Completing her look, Nicole wore a pair of heeled brown leather boots, which added height to her look, while her cool sherpa hat and sunglasses allowed her to go stylishly incognito at the same time.
As an ambassador for the French clothing brand Chanel, the star was naturally carrying a timeless oversized quilted brown leather handbag from the brand on her shoulder - and we suspect that even her most comfortable jeans may be Chanel too, as the brand has increased its denim offering in recent years.
DRESS UP YOUR DENIM
Nicole is known for her impeccable wardrobe on and off the red carpet, although she has worn several more relaxed outfits recently, notably appearing at the Chanel SS26 catwalk show in a pair of the brand's wide-leg jeans.
If you're wondering how to style your wide-leg jeans for spring, we love how Kidman channelled the denim trends 2026, teaming her pair with an oversized white shirt and black court shoes for a pulled-together take on wardrobe classics.
