Nicole Kidman in Altuzarra at the ‘Big Little Lies’ premiere: cute or meh?

Premiere of HBO's 'Big Little Lies' - Arrivals

Here are some photos from the big premiere event for HBO’s Big Little Lies, a miniseries produced by Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. What I love about this miniseries already is that the men are mostly peripheral – while most of the female characters are married, the story centers around interpersonal relationships between women. The red carpet reflected that too. Anyway, let’s talk about fashion! Nicole wore this Altuzarra Spring 2017 dress which… is not the best and not the worst. I’ve been saying for months that Kidman’s style has been all over the place, and this is another example. It’s a perfectly okay dress, but it feels like she’s been picking out her red carpet fashions at the very last minute for every event.

Reese Witherspoon wore a cute little Elie Saab cocktail dress. I enjoy this. Reese’s date was her (TALL!) daughter Ava.

Shailene Woodley also wore Elie Saab. This is flattering, simple and well-tailored. I’m surprised by how much I like this on her.

Zoë Kravitz in Vera Wang. I’m okay with this – it seems beachy and comfortable – but I really don’t understand the blonde hair.

Laura Dern in Vivienne Westwood. I love Westwood’s designs, but this just seems… bad? It looks like it was made for a shorter woman and it looks half-finished. I doubt the skirt is supposed to look like that too.

    Everyone looked pretty good til I got to Laura Dern but also Laura Dern rankles my spirit in a way I cant quite understand ? IDK why I DO NOT Laura dern so Don’t hold me to that… nvm no is a Sh*t dress

    As for Nicole.. Idk I guess she took Alicia Vikander’s last Year sad silhouette and she is keeping it?? Idk It’s a young dress

  2. Jane says:

    Woodley’s unflattering, imo.

  3. BrandyAlexander says:

    I am so excited for this mini-series. The book was awesome!

  4. Cass says:

    Wonder what Nicole would look like if she hadnt messed with her face…

    • Triple Cardinal says:

      Nicole hasn’t dressed properly since L’Wren Scott passed away. She knew how to dress Nicole properly and spectacularly. Now, as Kaiser says, Nicole’s fashion sense is all over the place. Sometimes down-right fugly. Those Lancome dresses have been truly awful.

      On the pics above? Love the shoes; meh on the dress.

  5. HeidiM says:

    Could SKars not have at least showed up to be hot for this? He owes me after Tarzan.

  6. Valois says:

    Ava doesn’t look tall at all. Unless we’re talking about “she looks so grown up!”

    Shailene’s dress is my favourite.

    • Bex says:

      I was about to say that. She’s probably her adult height now at 17, and she only looks a smidge taller than Reese, and Reese is tiny! Funny, I actually thought Ava was much taller than that. She’s a very pretty girl and seems to be coming to red carpets a bit now- I wonder if she’s thinking of going into the industry

      • Valois says:

        Exactly, Ava’s around 5’3 and that’s average at best (which is not a bad thing, that’s not what I’m saying).

        I’d say that’s her plan. I mean, at this point I’m surprised whenever the child of a celebrity doesn’t seem to be interested in modeling/acting/whatever.

  7. pantalones en fuego says:

    I HIGHLY (bigly) recommend the book if you haven’t read it. Really excited for this mini-series.

  8. KBeth says:

    I think Nicole looks pretty here but I agree, she could do so much better.
    Reese always looks good & damn….killer legs she has.
    There is something about Woodley’s face that I can not stand & her dress is fug.
    I love Laura Dern, I do not love her ill fitting dress.
    Zoe is so pretty even with the horrid white hair.

  9. Arock says:

    Her hair washes her out. She has beautiful skin and tone (manufactured or not). The original color of her hair was so striking. #deadcalm4ever
    This show looks so good.

    • sura says:

      Yes it’s her hair that just really ruins everything lately. It’s a gross color and it’s fried and it looks as hard as a helmet. It’s always sticking off her head weirdly too. I’ve been loving her fashion choices lately though, she doesn’t give a crap and will try anything and she has the body for it.

      • arock says:

        Its the part- always looks like its too much dry shampoo or has a Marie Antoinette chalky wig look. apparently she wear lots of wigs. another celebrity was quoted as saying she has the “best wigs in the business” cant remember who or why i know that

    • Esmom says:

      Yes that hair does wash her out, plus it looks very wig-like to me. I’m with you on her Dead Calm hair being the best for her. She looks like a dressed-up doll here, too fussy from head to toe.

      I’m not a fan of any of the dresses. If I had to pick one, I think I’d choose Zoe’s.

    • Susannah says:

      I think she doesn’t just have gray hair but it may be mostly white. It also looks like her hair is damaged, so maybe it’s just easier on her hair to just go with the lighter, blonde color than to dye her hair red like it used to be.

    • Pandy says:

      Agree re hair colour. She must have a lot of greys so she’s gone lighter to camouflage. I just saw that horrible Adam Sandler/Jennifer Anniston movie last night and NK was in it. Beautiful red hair color. It really popped.

  10. Rocio says:

    Shailene and Nicole are the best. The Witherspoon girls look amazing. Reese got her mini me or big me. lol

  11. paolanqar says:

    Nicole has always looked statuesque but now she looks like she is a wax work.
    Soon she’ll have to resort to blinking to communicate. Her face is so smooth she looks like a human sink.

  12. Blackcat says:

    Nicole, as already said, desperately needs to go back to her original hair color. Does she not have friends to tell her that?!? I’ve pacts with my friends to tell me such things.

    Laura Dern’s dress is my favourite. Love the two colors together and it’s something different. So kudos for that.

    “Don’t you know who I am?! I’m an American.” Or whatever Reese’s Pieces said I don’t like her or her late to the party ” look at my leg” dress.

  13. mellie says:

    I would like Reese’s dress a lot more if the shoulders weren’t so large, other than that, I like it a lot, her daughter is so cute!

  14. SK says:

    Nicole Kidman wears wigs?! Mind blown… I believe it, makes so much sense why her hair always looks weirdly dense, smooth, dry – unnatural!
    I agree Big little lies was a very enjoyable book but I’m not sure about this mini series because the casting is not great. Particularly Nicole as Celeste – who is supposed to be utterly beautiful with no makeup… to me Nicole is strikingly statuesque but her face is plain and she doesn’t look prettier then Reese Witherspoon or Shailene Woodsley
