Supermodel Kendall Jenner recreates Nicole Kidman’s Moulin Rouge character during Vogue World’s show-stopping event.
The Vogue World: Hollywood event transformed the backlots of Paramount Studios into a spectacular fusion of cinema history and high fashion, with an array of celebrities and top models paying homage to iconic movie characters.
The highly anticipated fashion show, hosted by Vogue, was kicked off by legendary actress Nicole Kidman, 58, who embodied old-school Hollywood glamour before Kendall Jenner, 29, took to the catwalk in a stunning tribute to one of Kidman’s most famous roles.
The annual event, which celebrates the intersection of film and fashion, cemented its status as a key date on the global entertainment news calendar, drawing A-list stars like Cara Delevingne, Lila Moss, Elizabeth Debicki, and Damson Idris.
Nicole Kidman, whose recent personal life has generated significant media attention following reports of her divorce from singer Keith Urban, used her opening presence to honor the timeless glamour of the silver screen.
She paid tribute to the legendary Rita Hayworth, referencing the actress’s iconic 1946 film Gilda.
Kidman began the show not just by walking, but by performing, singing a rendition of Put The Blame On Mame—a key musical number from the Hayworth film.
Following her performance, Kidman gracefully strode the catwalk in a sophisticated black sleeveless Chanel dress. The look was a direct nod to the signature dress worn by Hayworth in Gilda, showcasing the seamless link between cinematic costume and timeless style.
