I recently revisited Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick, and no matter how many times I watch it, it never loses its allure. Nicole Kidman is utterly mesmerizing—her presence is magnetic, and her wardrobe throughout the film is just as captivating. I fixated on her outfits, mentally cataloging each look and imagining how I might find similar pieces today. Even more than 25 years later, her style remains as striking and relevant as ever.

It got me thinking—why not turn this into a series? I’d love to recreate some of my favorite film looks and bring them into a modern context. Stay tuned for more.
