Put Nicole Kidman’s AMC Commercial Jumpsuit in the Smithsonian

The Issue

In an era where terrible news is as ubiquitous the Telfar bag, Nicole Kidman’s AMC commercial is a rare bright spot, captivating audiences with its strange glamour and undeniable camp value. In this ad, Ms. Kidman wears a gray flannel jumpsuit embellished with crystal pinstripes from Michael Kors' F/W 2021 collection. This garment is an integral part of the look and feel of the commercial, accentuating Ms. Kidman’s willowy frame and reflecting the light of “dazzling images on a huge silver screen.” Somehow, heartbreak does feel good in a place like this. 

Despite the satirical tone of this petition, Ms. Kidman’s jumpsuit is historically significant and warrants preservation. It is for this reason that we implore the Smithsonian to acquire this piece for their permanent collection, so that future generations can understand the true meaning of the phrase “we come to this place for magic.”
