Nicole Kidman's latest premiere, while exciting, didn't go as smoothly as expected.
The Big Little Lies actress is currently promoting a buzzy new drama series, The Perfect Couple, based on the novel by Elin Hilderbrand, which is out on Netflix September 5, and features fellow stars such as Eve Hewson, Liev Schreiber, Dakota Fanning and Meghann Fahy, among others.
However, in an odd turn of events, as the stars gathered at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, the red carpet appeared as full of A-Listers as… bugs.
Per Variety's reporting, Nicole and her co-stars found themselves fielding gnats swarming the event, as a result of Los Angeles' hot weather.
Throughout interviews, the cast commented on the buzzing insects, which were gathering around the bright lights and even laying on the stars and attendees.
For the event, Nicole nonetheless looked fabulous and unbothered, wearing a custom, sequin Ferragamo gown in a burgundy brown hue, paired with a black blazer and Paris Texas shoes, plus she had her signature long blonde hair styled in a voluminous blow-out.
