Appearing with veteran designer John Galliano, in the latest episode of a new documentary series ‘In Vogue: The 90s’, Nicole Kidman, one of the most promising starlets of the 90s, recalled her feelings when the former reached out to her to dress in one of his custom-made creations, for Oscars 1997, especially when she had her fair share of body insecurities during the growing years.

“Can you believe it? My whole life, I wanted to be 5’2 and curvaceous, and suddenly, being 5’11 and completely sort of skinny and flat-chested was like, ‘Great, we can dress you’,” she remembered.

“I mean, I was a red-headed, fair-skinned girl who was almost 5’11 at the age of 14,” Kidman recalled further. “I would get teased, and it wasn’t kind. So every time I was given access to that whole world, you feel like a little girl who’s been given the chance to step into this sort of fantasy world.”
