For those wondering if Nicole Kidman got herself a haircut for the Met Gala 2025 red carpet, the actor confirmed that wasn’t the case. She appeared on the Australian news channel Channel Seven’s Sunrise, where she talked about her Met Gala 2025 hair transformation. For the occasion, Kidman stunned in a short pixie, with long side bangs that covered one side of her face.
While speaking about her “Nine Perfect Strangers” series character Masha Dmitrichenko’s hairstyle, Kidman noted her love for sporting different hair looks. She recalled people asking her about her Met Gala 2025 hairstyle, wondering if the actor had cut her hair. The star dismissed it, stating she “did not” chop off her hair.
For the Met Gala 2025, Nicole Kidman paired her viral hair transformation with a structural black Balenciaga gown on the red carpet. Meanwhile, another one of her hairstyles recently went viral for a different reason. Over the weekend, she attended the Kering Women In Motion Awards as part of the Cannes Film Festival 2025. She walked the red carpet in a red lace gown, bringing back her signature long blonde hair.
However, netizens quickly noted that Kidman suffered a wig malfunction, where her extension on the hairline left enough room for strands from her original hair to pop out. Given that her real and fake hair were of two different colors, the wig snafu stood out from the rest of her ensemble.
