Whether it’s that red Balenciaga gown with a striking large bow or the shimmering Gucci dress with feathered parrots, the Oscar-winning Australian actress has never been afraid to take risks, whether professionally or sartorially, and it’s this experimental approach that’s made Kidman into the style muse she is today.

Still need convincing? Below, a look back at some of Kidman’s most memorable red carpet moments, from 1997 to now.
