Nicole Kidman turned heads in Los Angeles with a darkly glamorous red carpet moment at the “Practical Magic 2” premiere. Her lace Versace gown and gothic-inspired styling stole the spotlight, while fellow cast members delivered their own memorable looks.
Nicole Kidman’s LA red carpet: lace, legs and old Hollywood drama
Kidman arrived in a gown that fused vintage romance with modern edge. The black lace silhouette featured a low-cut bodice and an asymmetric hem. One side skimmed the thigh, revealing long, toned legs.

She completed the look with lace pumps and a coordinating choker. Hair fell in a moody side part with undone waves. Earrings added a discreet glamour note.
- Dress: black lace, low neckline, high-low skirt.
- Shoes: black lace Manolo Blahnik pumps.
- Jewelry: choker and Parure Atelier earrings.
This outfit marked a fashion moment as Kidman debuted a Pieter Mulier piece for Versace. It was a clear mix of lingerie inspiration and red carpet polish.
What Kidman wore vs. her London premiere gown
The Los Angeles look contrasted sharply with her London appearance last week. In London she chose a strapless, sea-foam green gown by Chanel.
That dress was layered in shimmering sequins and draped with pearl chains across the bodice and shoulders. The Chanel gown read softer and more romantic. The Versace look leaned darker and fiercer.
Pieter Mulier’s big moment at Versace
Pieter Mulier is crafting a new chapter for the Italian house. He joined Versace as creative director earlier this year.
Mulier’s background and plans
Before Versace, Mulier led Alaïa. He officially took the reins on July 1. Industry insiders do not expect a full runway debut from him until 2027.
Kidman’s dress acted as a public preview of his direction. The piece hinted at sensual tailoring and a bold, lingerie-influenced aesthetic.
Other standout looks at the LA premiere
Sandra Bullock embraced a gothic vibe of her own in a custom black velvet dress by Louis Vuitton. The gown had a deep plunge and an exaggerated collar that gave a nod to classic noir style.
At the London event, Bullock opted for an asymmetrical leopard-print look from Givenchy. The Los Angeles outfit pushed the spooky-chic envelope.
Family ties, tattoos and film cameos
Bullock has been wearing fashion statements and small personal touches on the press tour. In London she revealed a fresh tattoo dedicated to her two children.
She also shared that both children make a surprising appearance in the sequel. Their presence is subtle, she said, and even they don’t know exactly where they appear in the movie.
The cast, costume callbacks and on-tour tributes
Joey King and Maisie Williams play Bullock’s on-screen children in the film. Williams has honored Bullock’s style several times while promoting the sequel.
- Maisie Williams wore a burgundy dress inspired by a 1999 Bullock outfit.
- She also borrowed pieces from Bullock’s own wardrobe during press events.
These playful homages have added a warm, collaborative tone to the tour. They also link costume choices back to character history in the film.
Release date and what fashion fans can expect next
Practical Magic 2 opens in theaters on Sept. 10. With the press circuit underway, more high-fashion moments are likely.
Leading actresses seem to be using premieres to showcase contrasting aesthetics. Expect a mix of romantic sequins, gothic velvet and statement tailoring as the campaign continues.
