‘Red Satin’ is the gown worn by Nicole Kidman as Satine in the elephant love medley scene early in Moulin Rouge! (Baz Luhrmann, Australia, 2001).
The outfit is made of a red silk satin bodice and matching red satin skirt, lined with black polyester.
Moulin Rouge! is a glorious mix of historical detail and fictional extravagance. Costume designers Catherine Martin and Angus Strathie had to create over 400 costumes that evoke the voluptuous heady world of nineteenth century Paris.
