The classic white shirt — crisp, clean, and effortlessly chic — has long reigned as a timeless wardrobe staple.
From boardrooms to brunches, it’s the sartorial equivalent of a blank canvas: versatile, elegant, and endlessly reinterpretable. But at the recent Paris fashion shows, Nicole Kidman took this minimalist icon to an entirely new level. Fresh from her highly publicised split with husband Keith Urban, Kidman turned heads not just with her presence, but with a masterclass in subtle, sartorial revenge — wearing an oversized white Chanel shirt that was anything but basic.
Paired with relaxed wide-leg jeans and razor-sharp black pointy pumps, the look struck a perfect balance between nonchalance and intent. It was quietly powerful — less “look at me” and more “watch me now.” In Kidman’s hands, the white shirt wasn’t just timeless — it was transformative.
