Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down celebrity-inspired looks we want to rock right now and rebuild them piece by piece.

It’s a little sad that my beloved summer shorts have officially passed their prime, but on the bright side, fall is here—my favorite season for cozy fashion, heartwarming movies, and binge-worthy shows.

And let’s face it, everything is better when Nicole Kidman is involved in both. So, I’m already planning a solo movie night to rewatch Just Go with It while trying on the stylish bottoms she recently wore. On October 5, Nicole was spotted in New York City in split-hem wide-leg trousers, which, for me, were an instant win.

As someone who struggles with restrictive clothing, those small slits are a game-changer. They allow just enough airflow to keep things cool, help with movement, and provide extra freedom—plus, they make sure any fabulous footwear stays on display.

And if I splurge on new fall boots, I certainly don’t want them hidden beneath long pants! Her outfit, complete with a sleek black turtleneck and comfortable loafers, was a hit. Not to mention, her Big Little Lies co-star has rocked similar tops recently, and stars like Jennifer Garner and Katie Holmes have also jumped on the preppy loafers trend.

Now, I’m ready to embrace fall fashion in style, thanks to Nicole’s chic inspiration!
