Met Gala 2024: Nicole Kidman stuns in a dramatic black and white Balenciaga gown as she packs on the PDA with husband Keith Urban

Nicole Kidman was a vision in monochrome as she walked the Met Gala red carpet with husband Keith Urban on Monday. 

The Australian actress, 59, proved she's still one of Hollywood's best dressed stars as she posed in a dramatic Balenciaga ballgown that featured a white strapless bodice and train, which draped atop a plume of black fabric tassels reminiscent of feathers. 

The look was completed with a pair of long white opera gloves and diamond jewellery by Harry Winston including bracelets and star-shaped diamond stud earrings.

For makeup, Nicole enhanced her alabaster complexion with dramatic blush, black winged eyeliner and peach-hued glossy lipstick. 

She wore her strawberry blonde hair out in loose waves, parted in the centre.

Nicole looked jubilant while posing for photos, triumphantly raising her arms in the air and blowing kisses to onlookers. 

Keith, 59, meanwhile wore a dark blue suit, gold bow-tie and black dress shoes. 

The couple spent plenty of time packing on the PDA for photographers as they walked the carpet, holding hands and staring lovingly into each others eyes as they ascended the Met Gala's famous staircase.

'This year's co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,' Vogue shared.

The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute's permanent collection - with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.

The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute's permanent collection - with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.

The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea, and sky. 

'It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,' said Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition. 

'One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.'
