A surprise musical number opening by Nicole Kidman as Gilda singing “Put the Blame on Mame” turned magical when the actress emerged onto the Paramount studios, walking down the street wearing custom Chanel and Chanel Fine Jewelry. Baz Luhrmann appeared, directing Kidman and then, the crowd gathered at large, asking for more energy from those on the front row; including a cheeky “will the featured actor playing Anna Wintour please give me more?” Then, he yelled “Action KJ!,” at which moment Kendall Jenner walked on the runway wearing an original costume from Moulin Rouge! Designed by Catherine Martin, and opulent earrings from Tiffany & Co to the sound of Chris Isaak’s “Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing.” This is why we come to Vogue World: Hollywood!

The period fondly known as the Golden Age of Hollywood was one of transformation, innovation, and discovery; stretching from the late 1920s—the dawn of the “talkie”—through the 1960s, when silvery black and white gave way to full-tilt color. Original costumes from Baz Luhrnmann’s Moulin Rouge! and The Great Gatsby capture the era’s raucuous, romantic spirit, while looks inspired by flappers, showgirls, and songbirds round out the scene.
