This new docuseries sees Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman discuss her self-identity crisis as a young lady, especially the self-consciousness surrounding her looks. She confidently transforms into an actress who would come to set trends for Fashion and style in the 1990s.

Kidman’s Experience with 90s Fashion:

Several stars dominated the 1990s, and Nicole Kidman, to mention one of them, was a leading fashion model. Matteuccis remembers when famous fashion designer John Galliano asked her to wear an Oscar dress in 1997, but she also had concerns about her figure.

Nicole Kidman Reflects on Body Image:

Kidman said, ‘Can you believe it?’ Those were the words that went through her mind. ‘My whole life, I wanted to be 5’2″ and curvaceous, and then growing up and becoming 5’11” tall and skinny was like, Well, hey there, we can dress you!’

That is the reality, the pressures, and her complexes. Still, Kidman’s height and thin physique also positioned her as the perfect model for high Fashion and made her an iconic figure for many designers.

Kidman told the reporters she loves such modern classics and said, “I grew up watching Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, and Grace Kelly, women who constructed their style with the designers they were working with.

Being Teased for Her Looks:

Kidman also spoke of her childhood with height issues. She was a tall, fair-skinned redhead who was almost 5’11” when she was still 14 years old, and she remarked that she was teased and it wasn’t friendly. “She compared the night of the 1997 Oscars, when she wore the Galliano gown, to stepping into a fantasy world: It is the sort of dream that you feel like a little girl who has been granted the opportunity to step into. “

Critique’s words reveal how slimming was a struggle even gorgeous and famous women like Nicole Kidman once had. They reveal a side of her life that is not very visible, even though she overtly did not have much problem with body image as she became one of the most welcomed fashion icons.
