Nicole Kidman, 57, made a stunning entrance at the 2024 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on October 19, captivating attendees with her sleek, form-fitting black dress. However, while her appearance was praised, fans couldn’t help but notice her awkward movements in the gown, sparking discussions online.

The elegant dress, featuring a classic boat neckline and long black gloves, created a sophisticated silhouette. Kidman completed her look with minimal accessories, a loose updo, and glowing makeup, all of which added to her timeless glamour.

Despite her poise, videos showed Kidman tiptoeing and appearing to struggle in the dress, leading to comments such as, “She can’t walk in that dress!” Some speculated that high heels, rather than the dress, might have been the cause of her unsteady steps.

This event followed a difficult time for Kidman, as she had recently attended her mother’s funeral on October 15. Fans praised her husband, Keith Urban, for his unwavering support during this emotional period. Kidman’s mother, Janelle, passed away at the age of 84, just hours before Kidman won a Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival.

Photos of Urban comforting Kidman at the funeral moved fans, with many expressing admiration for their strong bond. Despite the challenges, Kidman’s resilience shone through as she gracefully navigated both public and personal moments.
