Kidman in Cannes. Part 4.
Thursday, May 23, 2013 at 9:00PM Jose here. Late last night I found myself cursing at the heavens for not making Nicole as ubiquitous as Uma, Kate Beckinsale and Diane Kruger were during their own Cannes jury duties. Then she went and did this:
Who She Wore: Valentino. And not just Valentino, but the Valentino Anne Hathaway refused to wear to the Oscars (because Amanda Seyfried was wearing something similar...) ending up with the satin Nipplegate and that awkward PR thing the day after. Like they say, one person's garbage is another person's treasure and the truth is that Nicole could retire from red carpets forever and this look would still be talked about for decades to come. She even outdid Fan Bingbing!
Which Director She's Trying to Lure: I want to say Ang Lee, but that's only because he's there and I'm too distracted by the dress' prettiness to think harder.
What would Margot think of this: something about weddings? Really, the dress is impeding my ability to think.
After the jump, more of Nicole in the dress and a look we forgot in Part 3...
...oh this was all for the premiere of Nebraska by the way, but there's no way the movie was better than this. Right?
A few days ago, Nicole attended a yacht party where she looked like the daughter Grace Kelly and Katharine Hepburn had in some actressexual's dream of heaven:
"My, she was yar!"
With the festival reaching its conclusion in a couple more days we're probably just a part 5 away from Kidman's Cannes farewell #sadface so now the question is: will she be able to top off the Valentino for the closing ceremonies?
Ang Lee, Cannes, Nicole Kidman

I think her hair is way too short for this dress but it's a lovely dress
She can do no wrong
i have good news for you Jose, you missed another event, THE JURY LUNCH. Yes they have a jury lunch and Nicole was there, naturally.
She should get every award just because of that dress.
who us Margo?
Give Nicole the Palme d'Or.
Margot from the wedding, of course. Margot would've actually asked if Nicole was wearing any underpants. Oh how these pictures make me smile. They make for one cute odd couple (even if she always towers over her accompanying man). Please make plans to work together, now!
i think it was very cute that she and Ang held hands all thru the red carpet - maybe he will direct that Cleopatra movie after all and cast Nic.
Anne Hathaway ended up in that terrible Prada and could've had this?! Geez. She was guaranteed to win! Why pick a crappy dress at the last minute.
Nicole looks amazing in this anyways so i guess it all worked out for the better.
There was also a black Marchesa dress at the Amfar benefit. I do hope she makes more grand appearances before the festivities are over.
Anne Hathaway would have looked amazing holding the Oscar in this. (sigh)
Thank you for posting pictures of our mommy. We rarely see her and only hear stories about her.
Sunday and Faith -- your mommy loves you! Just ask Isabella and Connor. Your trust funds will thank you later.
Maybe its the constant presence of Nicole Kidman at these press events, maybe its that this year there seems to be a whole lot more Oscaresque betting odds being discussed than there used to be, maybe its that the films seem a little less oblique and a little more warm, but I am just OBSESSED with Cannes coverage this year. Cannot get enough of it.
