Look of the Week: Nicole Kidman, in witchy splendor, hints at Versace’s next chapter
On Monday, Nicole Kidman attended the Los Angeles premiere of Practical Magic 2 wearing an asymmetrical drop-waist lacy gown, offering the first glimpse into Pieter Mulier's upcoming debut collection for Versace.
Appointed as chief creative officer earlier this year, Mulier has yet to host a runway show and will skip Spring-Summer presentations next month, choosing instead to reveal his aesthetic through strategic red-carpet moments.
Versace is capitalizing on this blueprint by previewing designs on celebrities, a strategy Mathieu Blazy used for Chanel last year when stars like Ayo Edebiri wore his pieces, generating significant buzz.
The press tour, featuring cast members Sandra Bullock and Joey King, has spurred a resurgence of interest in Practical Magic, with the film's autumnal, witchy aesthetic influencing fashion choices across the industry.
Diverging from predecessor Dario Vitale's saturated 1980s aesthetic, Mulier plans to steer the Italian luxury house toward a romantic, lace-heavy direction when his official debut arrives early next year.
