The Interview Magazine Nicole Kidman editorial puts the actress on display in an almost sadistic manner. Photographer Steven Klein applied a dark red light for the production, highlighting the beauty of Kidman in a manner that resonated well with a giant sign that read "sin."

Stylist Karl Templer made this Interview Magazine production appear [romantic and scandalous](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-heat-collection) at the same time. As Kidman stood opposite a young male model, she posed in [light pink garters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calvin-klein-shapewear), high waisted underwear, strap bras, chunky heels, pointy pumps and little else. Despite the lack of accessories and layered apparel, Kidman nonetheless made the pieces appear as if a part of full ensembles.

Readers of Interview Magazine will have much to take away from this display of [lingerie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-love-and-lemons-1) via its collection of motifs, colors, shapes and retro themes.
