Nicole Kidman generated online buzz following her appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of "Practical Magic 2" on Monday night. During an interview with E! News, the 59-year-old actress's animated responses and somewhat rambling speech led some fans to playfully speculate that she may have been drinking.
When asked about her designer attire, Kidman appeared to momentarily stumble over her words, asking the interviewer "Huh?" before stating, "This is Versace. Have fun. Let's party!" This exchange, captured in a widely shared video, amused numerous social media users.
Fans flooded comment sections with reactions, many expressing delight and amusement. "She makes me want to wear a wig and get drunk," one user commented, while another stated, "She's such an icon." Others found humor in her specific phrasing, with one fan adopting "This is Versace. Have fun. Let's party!" as their new life motto. The "HUH?!" moment also drew particular attention from viewers.
Beyond the lighthearted speculation, many fans also praised Kidman's relatable and "down-to-earth" persona. "I'm living for Nicole. She's the prettiest, most real and fun, down-to-earth Hollywood lady and cameras love her too," wrote one commenter. Another expressed admiration for her enduring appeal, stating, "I love her. Drunk, sober, she cannot go wrong!" Other comments noted her youthful appearance, with one fan remarking, "She genuinely looks better than ever," and another suggesting, "Either tired or buzzed, lol. Good for her!"
The premiere marked a reunion for Kidman with co-star Sandra Bullock for the sequel to the 1998 cult classic. Kidman, dressed in a sheer black lace gown by Atelier Versace styled by Jason Bolden, walked the red carpet alongside Bullock. The film sees Bullock reprise her role as Sally Owens, with Kidman returning as her sister Gillian. The sequel is set 25 years after the original and is based on Alice Hoffman's 2021 novel, "The Book of Magic." Original cast members Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest also return as the aunts of Sally and Gillian.
This project also signifies Bullock's return to film after a hiatus. The original "Practical Magic" followed two witch sisters attempting to live normal lives while contending with a family curse.
