Nicole Kidman Reunites With Chanel As Its Newest House Ambassador
They say you can’t go home again…but Nicole Kidman has! The renowned actress and producer has just been re-named a house ambassador for Chanel, an announcement that overlapped with the brand’s celebrated Spring 2026 runway show by Matthieu Blazy during Paris Fashion Week. Naturally, Kidman was in attendance for the occasion, along with her daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret—making the sweet reunion an even sweeter family outing. Kidman initially began her relationship to Chanel over two decades ago, when she was first named house ambassador in 2004 and starred in its legendary Chanel No. 5 campaign film directed by Baz Luhrmann—which, in addition to staying on our mood boards ever since, is also on-record as the most expensive advertisement ever from its $33 million price tag. Over the years, Kidman and the brand parted ways, but she’s still frequently worn Chanel across numerous red carpets—proving that, contract or not, she’ll always adore top-tier fashion. We’re fully on board, and can’t wait to see the fashionable star’s next Chanel projects in the future!
“I am thrilled to be joining Chanel as it begins its new chapter with Matthieu at the helm,” Kidman said. “As someone who has such an appreciation for haute couture, I am so looking forward to witnessing Matthieu’s vision for the oldest haute couture house still in operation and having the opportunity to wear what I know will be gorgeous creations. Chane; has always been ahead the curve, shining a smart and gracious ight on women, and I am sure Matthieu will be no exception, just like Karl did in his time.”

Jennifer Lopez’s The Kiss Of The Spider Woman Premieres At The Shed
About last night…The Shed at Hudson Yards was abuzz for the premiere of Jennifer Lopez‘s latest film. The star both acted in and executively produced the newest remake of the dramatic musical The Kiss of The Spider Woman, which officially launched yesterday with a star-studded screening. Taking place in tandem with The Cinema Society, Lopez was front and center at the event alongside her dreamy co-star Tonatiuh, director Bill Condon, and executive producer Ben Affleck.
After the showing of the moving film—which follows cellmates (Diego Luna and Tonatiuh) in an Argentinian prison in the early’ 80s, with one mentally escaping by recounting his favorite film starring Ingrid Luna (Lopez)—the celebrations continued at The Crane Club. The afterparty found attendees, including Lopez and her children, mingling while the film’s soundtrack (which everyone left with a copy of) played overhead. Everyone enjoyed creamy gnocchi, sliders, mushroom toasts, and chickpea tartare with specialty cocktails, followed by tahini and rainbow cookie ice cream, spiced cookies, and espresso brownies before the night wrapped. Fashionable guests in attendance included Whoopi Goldberg, Spike Lee, Laverne Cox, Betty Gilpin, Grace Gummer, Nathan Lane, Debi Mazar, Brad Goreski, Harvey Guillén, Ben Platt, Noah Galvin, Sydney Lemmon, Adrian Martinez, Benny Medina, Arian Moayed, Evan Mock, Darren Star, Lorraine Toussaint, J. Balvin, Shoshana Bean, Will Brill, Danny Burstein, David Burtka, Ryan Cooper, Deborah Cox, Michael Cyril Creighton, Lucy Damon, Johnathan Fernandez, Brandon Flynn, Montego Glover, Tyler Lain, Luis & Luz Miranda, Orfeh, Linus Roache, Laila Robins, Marc Shaiman, Adam Shankman, Valerie Simpson, Sophia Stallone, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Sophie Sumner, Anne V., Isiah Whitlock Jr., Daniel Benedict, Andrew Saffir, Matthew Cancel, Vincenzo Dimino, Paul Margolin, Marc Bouwer, and more.
