Nicole Kidman Wore the Elevated Blazer Trend Classically Chic People Love
Nicole Kidman shut the red carpet down at the Venice Film Festival last week, but it was one of her outfits off the carpet that grabbed my attention. It contained a trend that could actually dictate future purchases more than her red carpet gown, as stunning as it was.
Kidman was photographed outside of the airport in Venice wearing the perfect travel outfit: a white T-shirt, flared jeans, and white sneakers. Instead of an oversize blazer—the previous blazer trend of choice—Kidman opted for a fitted-waist blazer. Cinched blazers provide a polished, trend-forward edge to whatever outfits they're paired with, but they're also quite classic, so you can expect the trend to be around for a while.
If Kidman's cinched blazer has inspired you to add the classic trend to your wardrobe, keep scrolling to shop some of the internet's best options.
