Emmy-winning actress Nicole Kidman is known for her glamorous movie star style. On Monday, the actress used her keen sense of fashion to make a bold statement at Glamour's 2017 Women of the Year Awards.
Kidman attended the event wearing a Christian Dior dress featuring an image of a woman with wings for arms — fully outstretched.
The dress is stunning on its own, but it really took on a new life when the actress gave her speech — which we first spotted on Vanity Fair— and revealed the powerful message behind the design.
"I'm wearing wings tonight, and I tell you, to all of those young girls and boys sitting up there in that balcony, even if your wings get clipped, you can build them back and you can fly," she said to the audience.
Kidman also took a moment to acknowledge her husband, Keith Urban, and the strong relationship she's thankful to have.
"He gives me so much strength at times, and he gives me so much love," she said. "I'm very very fortunate and I know so many people in this room don't have that, but I have it, and I want to acknowledge it."
The "Big Little Lies" actress also gave a nod of support to the women in Hollywood who have recently come forward with their stories of sexual assault.
"Let's offer our support and let's create change, because it's about building bridges," Kidman said when speaking about survivors of sexual assault. "Bridges bring understanding, they bring empathy, but they bring change, and that's what we need, we need change."
