Nicole Kidman Steps Out In A White Gown & Black Heels At The 2026 Emmys

This year's Emmy Awards came with a lot of viral moments between celebrities and, as per usual, viral moments on the red carpet.

 

The Practical Magic 2 star might not have been a nominee this year, but she was a standout attendee, walking the red carpet and also making a surprise guest appearance during host Mariska Hargitay's opening monologue. She also caught people's attention with her dramatic white gown with lots of texture.

 

She had on a custom white Chanel dress featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline, plunging bodice, and thigh-high slit. The gown was embellished with numerous floral pieces, which added a soft, feathered effect throughout the look. She accessorized with black Chanel shoes and jewelry, and a vintage watch, while her blonde hair was swept into a chic updo with long, face-framing curtain bangs.

Social Media Users Slam Nicole's Emmys Look

The Oscar winner tends to be a hit on red carpets, making headlines with her looks and the outfits her styling team puts together. However, this time, it was a different story.

 

Not only did people find that the outfit as a whole was unflattering, but others also took to social media to write about how they felt her black heels didn't go with the dress, making it look like a disjointed ensemble.

 

"I really like the whole look…until we get to her feet," commented a user on Reddit. "What a strange miss on the shoes."

 

"Ugh, I hate black shoes with white dresses," wrote another.

 

"The stark black heels are kinda jarring," a user added, as another suggested they "would be wild about this with the shoe in a jewel tone, like emerald."

 

One Instagram user wrote they felt the black heels were "awful," with another user writing that they were "a diabolical choice."
