Nicole Kidman and Zoe Saldaña showcased high-contrast fashion in Fendi and Balmain at the “Lioness” Season Three premiere at New York City’s SVA Theater on Wednesday night.

For her part, Kidman turned to Fendi’s fall 2026 couture collection for her look. The “The Hours” Oscar-winning actress wore a 1920s tunic entirely embroidered in silver and platinum metal on a tulle base, paired with ivory tuxedo trousers with a ton sur ton satin side stripe.

Kidman completed her look with shoes from the Italian luxury fashion house’s couture collection, designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, who made her Fendi couture debut in early July. The actress’ hair was styled by Danielle Priano, with makeup by artist Kate Synnott. Stylist Jason Bolden curated Kidman’s look.

Saldaña contrasted Kidman’s luminous attire by going full noir in a look from Balmain’s fall 2026 ready-to-wear collection. The French luxury fashion house is led by creative director Antonin Tron.

Saldaña sported a hand-embroidered black satin stripe dress with a plunging neckline, long sleeves, rounded shoulders and a slight slit at the front. The dress, which made its runway debut during Paris Fashion Week in March, was meticulously stitched onto non-fused satin to create its soft, fluid drape of the look.

For accessories, Saldaña continued her dark color scheme with a statement Cartier necklace. She also wore sheer black tights and a pair of strappy, pointed-toe heels to complete her ensemble.

Makeup artist Vera Steimberg created Saldaña’s beauty look, while her natural soft waves were styled with a middle part. Stylist Petra Flannery curated the actress’ look.

“Lioness” follows CIA operative Joe McNamara, played by Saldaña, as she and her team try to balance their personal and professional lives. Season Three of the Paramount+ series debuts Sunday.
