Nicole Kidman drew mixed reactions from fans following her appearance at the "Practical Magic 2" premiere in London on Wednesday night. The actress, 59, wore a custom silver Chanel gown with jeweled draping, paired with gold sandals and a hairpiece.

Some social media users criticized Kidman's ensemble, with comments ranging from disapproval of the wig and makeup to suggestions that the dress would be more suitable on someone with a tan. Others felt her styling was an attempt to appear younger than her age.
Kidman's red carpet interactions with co-star Sandra Bullock also drew commentary. Some observers likened Kidman's posing to public displays of affection she had with ex-husband Keith Urban, with one user remarking, "Ugh, Nicole is always clinging onto someone."

However, not all reactions were negative. Many fans expressed admiration for both actresses, with some stating, "Love Sandra and Nicole. They're great," and others commenting, "That's the magic right there."
The premiere celebrates the upcoming "Practical Magic 2," a sequel set more than 25 years after the original 1998 film. The new movie is based on Alice Hoffman's 2021 story "The Book of Magic." Kidman reprises her role as Sally Owens, and Bullock returns as her sister Gillian. The film also features Joey King and Maisie Williams as Bullock's on-screen daughters. Susanne Bier directed the project, with Kidman and Bullock serving as producers.
Earlier this month, Kidman and Bullock surprised fans at a Cinespia screening of the original "Practical Magic" at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. During the event, Bullock noted the film's suitability for the location, and Kidman thanked the audience for their support in bringing the sequel to fruition.
