At the 2025 edition of Vogue World: Hollywood, the glitz and glam of film and fashion collided in one unforgettable moment. Kendall Jenner opened the show wearing the legendary showgirl bodysuit originally worn by Nicole Kidman as Satine in the 2001 film Moulin Rouge!. The costume, designed by Catherine Martin and Angus Strathie, is instantly recognisable.
The event took place at the iconic Paramount Pictures studio lot, and the opening look set the tone: a seamless blend of cinematic nostalgia and high-fashion spectacle.
The Costume & Styling Details
-
The bodysuit sparkled with crystals across a black and silver palette, mirroring the original film costume.
-
Jenner paired it with sheer black stockings, high-heels, a top hat with crystal details —a full showgirl tribute.
-
Hair was styled sleek and pulled back, allowing the costume’s shine and silhouette to dominate. Makeup stayed minimal to balance the bold outfit.
-
The choice of this look is meaningful: it pays homage to the crossover of fashion, film, costume design and runway spectacle.
Why This Moment Matters
This particular moment at Vogue World has several layers of significance:
-
Cinematic connection: Choosing a costume from Moulin Rouge! anchors the show in Hollywood’s film heritage while emphasising fashion’s role in storytelling.
-
Icon homage: By wearing Nicole Kidman’s original costume, Jenner creates a temporal bridge between past and present icons.
-
Event tone setter: As the opening look of the show, it set a high bar—dramatic, theatrical, visual. It communicated that this edition of Vogue World would not be a standard catwalk.
