Nicole Kidman just made this lesser known skirt style our top pick for spring
Her simple black midi skirt and white shirt combination got a much-needed updated with the unique silhouette


Nicole Kidman stunned at the premiere of her new horror film Holland in a striking black trumpet skirt, which she paired with a cropped white shirt and bold red sandal heels to keep the unique shape feeling classic and timeless.
While Nicole Kidman's newest film Holland might not be for everyone with its horror-filled plot and utterly terrifying twists and turns that will have you watching the story unfold through half-covered eyes, the outfit she wore to the premiere will certainly delight all.
Stepping out for the event, Nicole stunned in the classic and timeless spring capsule wardrobe staples of a black midi skirt and white collared shirt, with a pair of red strappy heels bringing a fun pop of bright colour to the monochrome outfit. It sounds like a simple look, right? But Nicole's skirt boasted a stylish trumpet silhouette that elevated the look into one we're desperate to recreate.

The trumpet skirt is really having a moment right now, even with all the new spring/summer trends or 2025 that were seeing on the red carpet and beyond. It's such a chic and timeless shape that still feels very contemporary, modern and unique with its blend of rouching, pleat details and figure-hugging silhouette.
Nicole's skirt is the The Agave Skirt by Jacquemus, which debuted on the runway in January 2025. At £1,120, it's not the most affordable designer piece out there, nor is it the most expensive, but it is easy to get Nicole's look on the high-street and on a budget.
These budget-friendly pieces aren't often called trumpet skirts outright, so instead you want to look for drop waist midi skirts which skim the waist and hips tightly before floating down into fuller skirts. If you really want to get her look spot on, investing in an underskirt to add extra volume is a good idea.
Sharing her tips for styling a trumpet skirt, woman&home's digital fashion editor Caroline Parr said, "Trumpet skirts are all about a fit and flare silhouette, and for this you can opt for a more subtle style, or embrace an exaggerated shape. It's great for creating curves on rectangular shapes, and it's a really refreshing alternative to simple midi skirts. Keep the rest of your outfit simple to allow the skirt to do all the talking."

This is exactly what Nicole did with her look. Leaning into a classic and timeless feel, she paired her black skirt with a white zip-up shirt. This gave the collared piece a really interesting flair that worked so well against the unique shape of her skirt - we didn't know the classic button-up could look any more sophisticated than it already did, but the zip is a welcome update!
To bring some colour to the black and white outfit, Nicole slipped into a pair of red strappy heels, with the barely-there style making sure the colour was kept minimal though still impactful for a bold finishing touch.
