Nicole Kidman in Dior

This Dior is so cool -- I kind of wish they'd given to Jennifer Lawrence at some point, but then again, Nicole is pulling it off SO nicely and it's heartening that Dior isn't sticking older actresses exclusively in frumpy things and saving the lightness for its younger babes. She's so tall that she can pull off the length without it stumpifying her, I LOVE that she wore bright instead of nude shoes, and the lipstick and updo are great. I really think it's fresh and regal and fun.

The greatest thing about this photo is how much she towers over everyone else. I also think that soft hair is fabulous on her, I love the dramatic sleeves, and HOORAY AGAIN for interesting footwear.

Also: HEELS. Sorry, Spielberg, but she is taking the extra inches and THEN SOME.

AND this is fantastic. Nicole, where have you been hiding all your big styling guns? Please tell me you've got them locked and loaded for this whole festival.

Cannes Well Played: Nicole Kidman

Nicole is on the jury this year, which means we're in for a lot of outfits from her in the next two weeks. So far, she is not in contempt of court. [Photos: WENN, Getty]
