Actor Nicole Kidman walked in the Balenciaga show on July 6 in Paris.Balenciaga/YouTube  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jul 6, 2022 9:28 PM UTC When it comes to viral moments, [Nicole Kidman](https://time.com/collection/most-influential-people-2018/5217547/nicole-kidman/) does not disappoint. On Wednesday, the Oscar-winning actor walked in [Balenciaga](https://time.com/collection/time100-companies-2022/6159435/balenciaga/)‘s haute couture show in Paris, donning a one-shoulder silver gown with a dramatic train and black opera gloves. Movie stars have long been a standard feature at the top fashion shows, whether on the runway or in front-row seats. But Kidman, who walked alongside other famous faces like [Kim Kardashian](https://time.com/6072750/kardashians-blackfishing-appropriation/), [Dua Lipa](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2021/5937664/dua-lipa/), and [_Selling Sunset_ ](https://time.com/6168666/selling-sunset-season-5-fairy-tale/)personality Christine Quinn, became an instant standout out for one reason in particular: her distinctive gait. Moving through the venue, Kidman slowly and carefully lifts up each foot and extends it outward, her exaggerated runway walk presumably the result of her unorthodox heels and commanding train. In the many clips of the actor that have since gone viral, her mincing walk is punctuated by foreboding music. It’s clear that this is _a moment._ Kidman has been well-established in the uppermost echelons of Hollywood for the greater part of three decades, with her roles in television and film garnering her awards from the Oscars, the Emmys, and the Golden Globes. Simultaneously, she has also become one of the internet’s the greatest joys. See: the complete obsession with [Kidman’s commercial for AMC](https://www.vulture.com/2022/01/nicole-kidman-amc-theatres-commercial-so-true.html), in which she recites an impassioned monologue about the sanctity of cinema to an empty movie theater. “We come to this place for magic,” Kidman says with reverence in the ad. The same could be said about why the denizens of the internet return again and again to the many viral moments of Nicole Kidman. As in her extensive filmography, there’s a Nicole Kidman [moment for every mood](https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCC5p%5FuRUQ/) and every situation: Nicole Kidman [clapping her hands like a seal](https://twitter.com/OliviaLilyMarks/status/1406570178775764996) at the Oscars is a shorthand for showing your wry approval on Twitter. Nicole Kidman on the cover of _Vanity Fair_ in the [most notorious low-rise mini skirt](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/nicole-kidman-cover-miu-miu-interview/) known to humanity becomes a cheeky avatar for the [vibe shift](https://www.thecut.com/2022/02/a-vibe-shift-is-coming.html). Nicole Kidman [eating bugs with chopsticks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3UqLAtdZ04) taps into your sick affinity for clickbait.
