Nicole Kidman stunned followers on Wednesday when she modelled a very pricey designer T-shirt with her face on it.
The Hollywood star, 57, spruiked an $825 white tee from Balenciaga which featured three prints of her red carpet looks on the front and her signature on the back.
The Babygirl star shared a selfie to her Instagram as she slipped into the designer frock, tagging the controversial fashion house in her post.
Nicole isn’t the only A-lister to have her face immortalised in the new line of shirts.
Kim Kardashion, Isabelle Huppert, Michelle Yeoh and PP Krit Amnuaydechkorn have all had their visages printed on Balenciaga shirts.
The SKIMS founder, 44, flaunted hers on Friday, sharing two photos of herself in the ‘oversized’ T-shirt on her Instagram Stories.

She captioned the photos with ‘BALENCIAGA FALL 25’ while looking sanguine on a couch next to a pile of the Kim K tops.
The shirt is part of the French-owned fashion house’s Brand Ambassador Fan club Series which hit the market last week.
Balenciaga released a statement saying: ‘Inspired by vintage fanclub merchandise, the series features aged figurative artwork that pays tribute to the Ambassadors.
‘Their printed signature on the t-shirt back replicates a permanent marker autograph on long-loved fan memorabilia, evoking the feel of a personally signed keepsake from one’s favourite actress or musician.’
Nicole was named brand ambassador for Balenciaga in December 2023.
The Australian actress has been a fan of Balenciaga for decades—having chosen the fashion house to design her 2005 wedding dress.
She said at the time of her appointment: ‘Balenciaga has been with me through some of the most memorable events in my life, from my wedding to the Oscars red carpet.’
Nicole went on to say she looks forward to ‘creating more memories together’.

In 2022, the Spanish brand caused major controversy on social media when it used images of children holding teddy bears dressed in bondage gear in its Christmas campaign.
Nicole’s continued involvement with the brand has attracted criticism in the two years since the scandal.
Balenciaga issued a statement at the time apologising for the campaign, stating: ‘We sincerely apologise for any offence our holiday campaign may have caused.
‘Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign. We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms.
‘We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form. We stand for children safety and well-being.’
The news of Nicole’s appointment of ambassador to the brand sparked backlash among her social media followers, many of whom left comments expressing their disappointment.
‘Bad choice Nicole!!! Do better!!!’ one concerned fan wrote, after Nicole shared black-and-white images of herself attending the fashion show.
‘Disappointed you chose that brand,’ another added, while someone else commented: ‘Nice campaign to make us all forget [eyeroll emoji].’
Another said: ‘Nicole is always such a beauty, but DANG… money must be tight for all these movie stars and musicians too when they have to support that business.’
