Nicole Kidman made a striking appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of "Practical Magic 2," captivating onlookers in a black lace gown by Atelier Versace. The custom creation, the first design by Pieter Mulier since taking the helm as creative director, featured a low-cut top and a dramatic high-low skirt with a thigh-skimming hemline, showcasing Kidman's legs.
Kidman complemented the bold, lingerie-inspired ensemble with black lace Manolo Blahnik pumps and a matching choker necklace. She accessorized with Parure Atelier earrings and styled her hair in tousled waves with a vampy side part. This witchy aesthetic marks a departure from the seafoam green sequined Chanel gown she wore to the film's London premiere.
Also in attendance was co-star Sandra Bullock, who channeled a Wednesday Addams-inspired look in a custom Louis Vuitton black velvet dress with a plunging neckline and an exaggerated collar. This followed her leopard print Givenchy attire for the London premiere.
Mulier, who previously worked at Alaïa, officially began his tenure at Versace on July 1 and is not expected to present a collection until 2027. His initial designs for the Italian fashion house appear to be bold and statement-making.
Bullock, who revealed a new tattoo dedicated to her children at the London premiere, shared that her son and daughter make a surprise appearance in "Practical Magic 2." She teased that their roles are not obvious and that the children themselves are unaware of their specific scenes.
The sequel, which also stars Joey King and Maisie Williams as Bullock's on-screen children, is set to be released on September 10. Williams has shown her support for Bullock during the press tour, wearing a dress inspired by one the star wore in 1999 and even borrowing from Bullock's personal wardrobe.
