Nicole Kidman proves you can't go wrong with a blazer, jeans and white trainers for effortless everyday style
Her reliable outfit formula transitions from late summer to autumn with ease
Nicole Kidman is well known for her elegant, pared-back style and her latest New York outfit stays true to her tried-and-tested smart-casual formula. Wearing a polished jeans and blazer look, finished with a pair of adidas white trainers, Nicole looked perfectly put together in a formula that will work for the last days of summer and into autumn climes.
Opting for straight-leg jeans - a style that defies the denim trends of 2026, remaining polished and contemporary against directional styles, Nicole paired them with a smart grey, sharply tailored blazer, slipped over a classic white shirt.
While her outfit wasn't championing any of the major seasonal trends, it did deliver timeless transitional style, working from now and into slightly cooler climes as we look towards September. Wearing some of the best white trainers around - a now-discontinued style of Samba OGs- she added a final fashion-forward touch with the Chanel Métiers d’art 2026 small tote, delivering instant glamour.
When it comes to stylish yet comfortable jeans, Levi's iconic ribcage style offers a supportive high-rise that defines the waist and lengthens the legs. With a flattering, straight-leg cut, this versatile design can be worn in a multitude of ways.
Nicole's all-white colourway of these adidas Sambas has now been discontinued, but you can still snap them up in this equally chic option with black stripe details. A little more sporty, the triple stripe makes them instantly recognisable.
Not as sharply tailored as Nicole's lighter grey blazer, this style leans more into an oversized fit that will balance well with the slender leg of a straight-cut jean. With a hip-grazing finish, this blazer is ideal for layering over shirts or tees.
With so many white shirts on the market, it can be hard to know which one to choose. For a relaxed, effortless look like Nicole's, this cost-effective Next design is a great option. Cut to a relaxed shape, it offers a slightly oversized silhouette - ideal for warm weather.
While we'd love to splash out on Nicole's Chanel handbag, this H&M shopper is going to be what we're turning to when recreating her outfit. Its sleek design makes it a great alternative, with a single handle and graphic structure giving it a classic look.
Reviews say these jeans boast a 'classic style' and a 'great fit,' with their 'thick material' feeling luxe and high-quality. The timeless, straight-leg cut is so flattering and as the shape is timeless, you can wear them for many seasons to come.
The classic pairing of jeans and a blazer never fails to check all the boxes when it comes to dressing for the transitional period. A wardrobe basic, a good pair of jeans can anchor smart casual outfit ideas that work from AM to PM.
Nicole added polish to her denim ensemble via a neatly tailored blazer that highlighted her silhouette. The addition of a classic white shirt and a very smart handbag delivered a put-together outfit that was then relaxed with a pair of trending trainers.
While much of the trainer trend 2026 chat has been about statement, printed or colourful trainers, Nicole proves that when it comes to timeless style, white sneakers still very much hold their own in a capsule wardrobe, whatever the season.
