Nicole Kidman meant business while attending Balenciaga‘s pre-fall 2024 fashion show, held on South Windsor Boulevard in Los Angeles. The occasion notably marked Kidman’s debut as the newest brand ambassador for the French luxury label, as well.

During the occasion, Kidman arrived to the show in a pair of Balenciaga’s signature Knife pumps. The Oscar-winning actress’ $975 style featured a pointed-toe silhouette with exaggerated counters, crafted from smooth, matte black spandex for a touch of modern flair.

Kidman’s pumps were finished with 4.33-inch stiletto heels, bringing her look a slick finish. The style also smoothly streamlined the star’s attire for the occasion: a black double-breasted coat dress with long sleeves and a curved neckline, layered atop sheer black tights for a formal edge.
