Hollywood's power couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban took centre stage at the Met Gala 2024, exuding elegance and affection as they graced the red carpet in their Balenciaga ensembles. Following the tradition, the 2024 Met Gala was held on May 6, the first Monday of May (early Tuesday morning in India) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While their sartorial choices turned heads, it was Kidman's candid admission of pre-event nerves that added a touch of vulnerability to their impeccable appearance.
Walking hand-in-hand, the couple radiated love as they embraced the gala's theme, The Garden of Time. However, behind the dazzling facade, Kidman confessed to People magazine that the event still evokes butterflies in her stomach, despite her seasoned attendance. Yet, with husband Urban by her side, she found solace, stating, "I have my man with me."
