Nicole Kidman made a much-anticipated return to the Emmy Awards after a nine-year absence, arriving at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards in an ethereal white Chanel gown.
California, September 15: Actress Nicole Kidman stunned in a white dress as she arrived on the red carpet of the ongoing 78th edition of the Primetime Emmy Awards. After a nine-year hiatus, the actress has made her triumphant return to the Emmys—and she’s arrived in style.
According to People magazine, Kidman, who is a Chanel ambassador, stunned in a wool crepe white bustier dress embellished with 46 flowers made of layered pieces of silk crepe, silk organza and rafia, all in a palette of subtle whites. She also wore shoes and jewellery by the fashion house. Kidman, who attended the 2019 Emmys and won two awards, one of which was Outstanding Lead Actress In A Limited Series Or Movie for Big Little Lies in 2017, has been on a whirlwind fashion journey with the release of the Practical Magic sequel.

Meanwhile, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards are taking place at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, with HBO Max's medical drama ‘The Pitt’ aiming to make Emmy history and a closely watched best comedy race between freshman horror-comedy ‘Widow's Bay’ and veteran favourite Hacks, The New York Times reported.

The ceremony will honour television programmes that aired between June 2025 and May 2026, with awards being presented across 19 categories covering dramas, comedies, reality programmes and late-night shows.
The best comedy category is expected to be one of the night's closest contests, with Widow's Bay going up against Emmy favourite Hacks. The freshman horror-comedy is challenging Hacks, which could secure another major victory in what is being viewed as its swan-song season. In the limited series race, HBO Max's DTF St Louis is considered a slight favourite over the second season of Netflix's anthology series Beef.
