“I’ve saved all the red carpet dresses. I have them all beautifully boxed,” she told the outlet. “They’re museum pieces.”

“They raid my wardrobe all the time. I’m like, ‘Okay, what’s mine is yours,’ " Kidman continued. “But I don’t raid their closet, even though I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s cute.’ But I’m not allowed to take anything. It’s a one-way exchange.”
