Nicole Kidman’s appearance at the London premiere of Practical Magic 2 has split online opinion. The 59-year-old actress arrived in a custom Chanel dress covered with sequins and gold chains.
She is trying very hard to look young.
The strapless silver gown had a fitted silhouette and a high slit that revealed her leg. Kidman completed the look with subtle makeup and curly hair. Fashion critics generally responded positively to the dress, but some commentators disliked the hairstyle, while others felt the high slit made the outfit too revealing.
naive
Social media discussion also focused on Kidman’s behaviour before the cameras. Fashion Times reported that she posed actively, smiled frequently, leaned close to her co-star Sandra Bullock and held her hand. Some viewers found the interaction sweet. Others called the actress “naive” and “pushy”, while critics wrote, “She is trying very hard to look young.”
pushy
Kidman’s supporters defended her appearance, saying she looked wonderful for her age and could wear or do whatever she wanted regardless of how old she was. The debate also revived her earlier comments about cosmetic procedures. In 2011, she said she had tried Botox but disliked the effect and no longer used it. “I tried a lot of things, but apart from exercise and proper nutrition, most things don’t have any effect. I was injected with Botox. I didn’t like how my face looked afterwards. I don’t use it anymore. I can move my forehead again!” she said.
