Nicole Kidman and her daughter donned the biggest wedding guest dress trend for summer 2026 at the Met Gala.
Since the announcement in November 2025 regarding the theme for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute's spring 2026 exhibition, "Costume Art," and the dress code for the 2026 Met Gala, "Fashion Is Art," anticipation has been high to see how the most fashionable celebrities would interpret the blend of fashion, the body, and 5,000 years of art history. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait any longer as the first group of A-list celebrities has already arrived on the red carpet, led by three-time co-chair Nicole Kidman. At the 2025 Met Gala, Kidman wowed everyone in a custom Balenciaga dress that took over 700 hours to create, alongside a two-toned mullet hairstyle. This year, her appearance is quite different. Departing from satin and strapless styles, Kidman has just stepped onto the red carpet in a long-sleeve sequined red gown embellished with feathers at the sleeve cuffs and hips. She finished off her look with sleek, straight hair, Chanel jewelry, and a vintage watch that artfully blends fashion, art, and history. The watch is a 1982 23 mm Omega Constellation Manhattan, preserved at the Omega Museum in Bienne, Switzerland. The most heartwarming aspect of the occasion is that Kidman was joined on the red carpet by her daughter Sunday Rose, who also wore an elegant embellished gown. Sunday Rose's gown featured a strapless design with three-dimensional floral embellishments that created a textured, feather-like appearance. Considering the trendsetting nature of both Kidman and Sunday Rose, we’re confident this style will be a favorite among chic wedding guests this summer.
