Ah, the Met Gala. Arguably the biggest night of the year in fashion where countless A-list celebrities flock to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on the first Monday in May.

From sequins, sparkles, feathers and more, the 56-year-old has continuously proven herself to be a style icon with her classic and timeless outfits at the Met Gala.
In honour of the 2024 event, we’re taking a look back at Nicole Kidman’s most memorable looks at the Met Gala.
