Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman had a âdate nightâ at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday evening (May 6).
The beloved husband-and-wife duo arrived color-coordinated in stunning black-and-white looks on the red carpet, including Kidmanâs flowing gown with matching white opera gloves. The award-winning actress re-created an iconic Cristobal Balenciaga couture gown from the 1960s. She told Vogue: âThe Met Galaâs âThe Garden of Timeâ theme is so beautiful, I think I just fell in love with the idea of kissing a Balenciaga couture gown awake. âĻThe black and white gown was immortalized by the great [Richard Avedon for Harperâs Bazaar in 1951] in a photo we discovered. I was planning to work with Richard Avedon, but due to timing, sadly never got the chance.â
The coupleâs âdate nightâ arrives shortly after Kidman received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute at Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, which she and Urban attended with their teenaged daughters (Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban, 15, and Faith Margaret Kidman-Urban,13). It also arrives days after Urban took the stage at the 2024 iHeartCountry Festival in Austin, Texas. The country hitmaker performed career-spanning hits and his newest singles as he prepares to debut his next full-length studio album, including âStraight Line,â âOne Too Manyâ (featuring Maggie Baugh in P!nkâs absence), âSomebody Like Youâ and others. Urban announced a 10-night run in Las Vegas on Monday morning, hours before accompanying his wife to the Met Gala.
