Nicole Kidman went shirtless under a boxy, ’80s-inspired black blazer while stepping out at the Balenciaga Haute Couture show at Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday, July 9.
The Babygirl actress paired the plunging jacket with nothing underneath, flashing her chest and her midriff.

Wednesday’s Balenciaga Haute Couture show drew a crowd of well-heeled A-listers eager to see the designer brand’s latest collection for the fall and winter seasons. As celebrities like Salma Hayek, Naomi Watts, Michelle Yeoh, Lori Harvey, and Cardi B put their own interpretations on the runway show’s unofficial all-black uniform, Balenciaga ambassador Nicole Kidman channeled her Babygirl character in a chic yet sultry version of the office siren aesthetic.
In a nod to the milk-guzzling CEO she recently portrayed in the A24 film, the Nine Perfect Strangers star gave power dressing a sexy update. She wore an oversized black blazer with nothing underneath, juxtaposing menswear elements like the ‘80s power shoulders and the boxy fit with several inches of bare skin running all the way down to her ribs. Kidman continued dialing into the risqué styling by only clasping one button, flashing several inches of exposed midriff at the bottom.

In contrast to the aspiring model’s black mockneck minidress, Kidman paired a dramatic floor-length bodycon gown with black sunglasses.
