Heartbreak feels good in a place like the Sotheby’s “Visions of America” auction. The grey, pin-striped Michael Kors suit that Nicole Kidman wears in her iconic AMC pre-film advertisement is now being auctioned off for $5,000 to $10,000 as part of Sotheby’s new “Visions of America” series.
Moviegoers fell in love with the ad when it first began being played before movies at AMC multiplexes across the country more than a year ago. What started as an attempt to get the nation’s movie-goers excited about going to the theaters again became a piece of high-camp cinema in and of itself. Moviegoers didn’t just tolerate the ad, they became obsessed.
For those who hadn’t committed the script to memory, some helpful patrons handed out printed copies so fellow theater-goers could recite the dialogue with Kidman. Grown men stood up to salute the screen, while others made T-shirts emblazoned with Kidman’s stoic face and the ad’s most famous line, “Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this.” So, it should be no surprise that somebody would be willing to write a check for a few thousand dollars to own a piece of the ad — cinema history, if you will — for themselves. The Grey Wool and Cashmere Crystal Pinstripe Jumpsuit was featured as Look 33 in the Michael Kors 40th Anniversary Fall/Winter 2021 Collection.
