Nicole Kidman Debuts Pieter Mulier's Versace at 'Practical Magic 2' Premiere

During the Los Angeles premiere of 'Practical Magic 2' on the eve of the 2026 Venice Film Festival, Nicole Kidman showcased a striking black Atelier Versace gown featuring an asymmetrical skirt and intricate hand-intarsia lace, complemented by a matching choker and stilettos. This event marked the first public display of Pieter Mulier's creative vision since his recent appointment as Versace's creative director. Opting for a red-carpet appearance instead of a runway show reflects a growing trend where new designers are introduced through celebrity events. Mulier's runway introduction is anticipated in 2027, coinciding with Atelier Versace's return to the Paris haute couture calendar after over a decade, with ready-to-wear debuting in February. The premiere outfit, aligned with the film's supernatural elements, offered limited insight into Mulier's overall design approach but effectively generated excitement and indicated a new chapter for the brand.
