Nicole Kidman has found joy of tights

NICOLE Kidman's favourite fashion item is "black tights".

(BTW: If you don't know who Nicole Kidman is, what planet are you from?  Just a few recent highlights: the British thriller film Before I Go To Sleep drew a positive critical response of Kidman's performance, as Christine Lucas, a car crash survivor with brain damage, and she also appeared in the family film Paddington (2014) as a villain.  [But fear not, she’s a fan of cuter characters and can spot-on impersonations of Tweety Bird and Little Quacker, and her favourite Sesame Street resident is Snuffleupagus.])

The 48-year-old actress has confessed her love for opaque stockings, [according to one source that may not know the difference between stockings and tights], insisting that she's over the moon they came into fashion, in a video interview of vogue.com. When asked what her favourite fashion trend of all time is, Nicole simply replied: "Black tights".

Now lets be clear here that Ms Kidman means.  I think she is referring to what we in the UK would call opaque tights (hence the reference to opaque stockings), not sheer tights or as our stateside sisters call them pantyhose

With opaques there is no hint of the leg below the tights other than its shape.  This is particularly clear when you look at the foot and cannot see the toes.  "Can't see no toes they ain't pantyhose". (See above)

But as we can see hoisery comes in lots of different thicknesses (deniers).  So the the line between opagues (tights) and sheers (pantyhose) is a little fuzzy.  Typically anything 40 denier and above is regarded as opaque.

But I stick to the rule that if you can see the toes they are pantyhose as shown above.  This even applies to tights with reinforced toes, your toes can usually be seen through the thicker  nylon at the end of the feet if the tights are actually pantyhose

You can see her toes through the reinfored toe of the tights

Can you see her toes, I think you can?

But I digress - enough of the definition of tights and pantyhose -  back to Nicole Kidman

Now Ms Kidman is usually seen in tights.  As shown in this photoshoot taken at the famouse Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York.  The Widorf describes its suites:

"Stay in an exquisite one bedroom suite and enjoy a spacious separate living area. Upgrade to a spectacular signature suite overlooking Park Avenue with a large boudoir with make-up and dressing areas, upscale furnishings and an array of state-of-the-art amenities. "

Just the place to kick your shoes off and wander round it your stocking feet.  You could even put your feet up on the furniture.  (Hope those tights aren't pongy Nicole).

And don't ask about the price - so I didn't - B&B and Brighton is about my limit.  But I guess it was OK for Ms Kidman who enjoys the country life in a 45 hectare New South Wales property she bought for $6.5m in 2008.

And of course  MS Kidman is often out in tights.

Which is not to say that Ms Kidman doen't sometimes wear pantyhose.

Ms Kidman has also warn pantyhose in a number of her movies.  In particular in Lee Daniels' adaptation of the Pete Dexter novel, The Paperboy. In the film, she portrayed death row groupie Charlotte Bless.

During a prison-visit scene, with several people in the room looking extremely uncomfortable, Kidman and John Cusack (playing convicted murderer Hillary Van Wetter) sit several feet away from each other and somehow have telepathic sex that makes both of them climax.  But as telepathic as the sex maybe Kidman's Charlotte Bless character still has to rip open her pantyhose.

The film also features the sence where Kidman pees on Zac Efron (who plays Matthew McConaughey who is trying to clear Van Wetter).   And no pervert reader of this blog you cannot see this scene, this is nice fetish blog.  Anyway no one is wearing pantyhose while peeing.  No, you can't see a random woman peeing in pantyhose either.

Nicole Kidman arriving at the paperboy set - without hose

Dispite the paperboy's wierdness, the film competed in the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, and Kidman's performance drew critical acclaim.

But to return the original point of this post, its great that Ms Kidman is giving the thumbs up to what so many of us wear inside work.

And some of us wear outside work.

So why not follow Nicole's example and try a nice pair of black tights?  If your feet get a bit hot in your tights just slip your shoes off - like Nicole did in her new York photoshoot.

PS
Nicole Kidman isn't the only tights loving celeb
