Nicole Kidman Lip-Synced the Viral Song Named After Her — With Pedro Pascal, Dua Lipa, and Kristen Wiig
There are fashion week moments, and then there are moments where an Oscar winner lip-syncs a pop song named after herself, on cue, in the front row of Chanel, while Pedro Pascal and Dua Lipa look on. Paris got the second kind on Monday.
What happened
Before Chanel's Spring/Summer 2027 show at the Grand Palais in Paris on October 5 — the closing show of Paris Fashion Week — a front-row video was filmed featuring four stars lip-syncing to ADÉLA's breakout hit "Nicole Kidman." Kristen Wiig went first, followed by Pedro Pascal, then Dua Lipa, and finally Nicole Kidman herself, who got the line carrying her own name and blew a kiss to the camera as the group cheered.
The clip took off immediately. One Pop Crave post of the video pulled more than 1.8 million views, and fan accounts reposted it across TikTok, Instagram, and X throughout the day. Footage from the same evening also showed the quartet — plus Alexa Demie — dancing in their seats to Britney Spears' "Gimme More" and a-ha's "Take On Me."
Why it's blowing up
The joke is that it's not really a joke. "Nicole Kidman" isn't just a song with her name in the title — it's a full-blown cultural tribute to Kidman's movie-star aura, and it has been dominating charts and TikTok for weeks. The video works because it closes the loop: the song's muse finally joining in.
ADÉLA, the 22-year-old Slovak singer behind the track, got the idea after watching Eyes Wide Shut and then wearing a tight corset to a Golden Globes party. "This is glamour. This is Nicole," she recalled thinking. The song comes from her debut album PRIMA, released September 4, and its music video nods to Kidman's filmography — Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge!, Birth, Babygirl — and even her famous AMC cinemas ad.
The numbers behind it are real:
- The song hit No. 2 on Spotify's global chart in September, and on October 4 it sat at No. 3 on Spotify's daily global chart with nearly 3.3 million streams that day.
- It reached No. 3 on Billboard's Global 200 (chart dated October 3) with 32.5 million worldwide streams in a single week, and climbed to No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.
This wasn't Kidman's first brush with the song, either. She has already said she knows who ADÉLA is — she told a fan at the London premiere of Practical Magic 2 that she planned to see ADÉLA perform in Nashville, and she made her own TikTok debut using another of ADÉLA's songs, "Ain't in LA." The Chanel video is just the most star-studded installment of a tribute millions of fans have already been recreating online for weeks.
The scene around it
Chanel didn't do subtlety for its closing show. Artistic director Matthieu Blazy transformed the Grand Palais with nearly 100 birds suspended from the ceiling, a huge moon, and a multicolored glass floor for a collection titled "Free as a Bird" — marking one year since his debut at the house. The front row was stacked: Ayo Edebiri, Olivia Wilde, Marion Cotillard, John Malkovich, and Alexa Demie were all there, alongside Kidman, who attended with her 15-year-old daughter Faith. The night before, Kidman's older daughter Sunday Rose, 18, had walked in Valentino's spring 2027 show.

What's next
If history is any guide, this is how a viral hit becomes a permanent fixture. A star acknowledging the song in person tends to supercharge it — and with the track already sitting at No. 3 on Spotify's global daily chart, the Chanel clip could push it toward the top spot. Don't be surprised if ADÉLA and Kidman share an actual stage before the year is out: Nashville just got a lot more likely.
