When Zendaya asked Nicole Kidman why she wanted to work on her latest project, Babygirl, during their Variety Actors on Actors interview, Kidman's answer was simple and very easy to turn into a meme: "As soon as I heard it was called Babygirl, I'm like, 'Yeah, I want to be the babygirl,'" she said. Just in case she didn't become the babygirl enough in the film, she sure did on the red carpet at the 2025 Golden Globes, where her completely backless and rhinestone-covered gown fit the nickname.
For the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards, Kidman and her stylist Jason Bolden worked with Balenciaga to create a custom one-shoulder gown made of crystal- and rhinestone-embroidered mesh, according to the French fashion house. The dress was based on look 55 from Balenciaga's fall 2023 haute couture collection, which was purple, as opposed to Kidman's iridescent silver look. With it, she wore a pair of cream satin pumps also by Balenciaga and a bevy of jewelry items by Boucheron, including diamond-and-tanzanite drop earrings and a 4.10-carat diamond ring.

Though the front of Kidman's gown is stunning, it's the back that really shines—not just because of the retro hairstyle her hairstylist Adir Abergel created for the evening's festivities. The dress dips low in the back, adding the perfect touch of boldness to Kidman's Babygirl-era Golden Globes look. Scroll down to see it from every angle.
