Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor’s Parisian Fantasy for Moulin Rouge! Promo, May 2001

One striking photograph features Kidman and McGregor seated on a park bench, a verdant backdrop behind them. Kidman, as the “Sparkling Diamond” Satine, is breathtaking in a vibrant, strapless fuchsia gown that billows around her, a true showstopper. The dress, with its voluminous skirt and rich hue, is complemented by an elaborate, matching fuchsia fascinator that adds a playful yet elegant touch. McGregor, portraying the idealistic writer Christian, offers a stylistic counterpoint in a cool, light blue suit paired with crisp white sneakers, a nod to the film’s modern sensibilities woven into its historical setting. His relaxed pose, with one leg casually crossed, contrasts beautifully with Kidman’s more poised, regal stance, hinting at their characters’ differing worlds.

Another captivating shot shows the pair in a more intimate, romantic setting, surrounded by rich, textured red fabric—evoking the sumptuous interiors of the Moulin Rouge itself. Kidman, embracing the allure of her courtesan role, is draped in a flowing, lavender-hued slip dress, its delicate fabric clinging softly. Her hand rests gently on McGregor’s leg, while he, in a rich, patterned shirt, gazes intently at the camera. The playful inclusion of Kidman’s fishnet stockings and intricately designed high heels further cements the film’s blend of sensuality and artistry.
