Nicole Kidman went all out for the 2025 Met Gala in New York City on Tuesday as she debuted a complete hair transformation.

The Australian actress, 57, stepped out at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a custom black Balenciaga gown, fitting in with the Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme. 

But it wasn’t the dress which attracted the most attention, as onlookers were left stunned when they realised the Hollywood star had cut off all her hair. 

Nicole donned her best sultry expression as she flaunted her new look, slicking back her blonde tresses which featured a brunette undercut. 

Her backless gown was cinched at her waist and hips with decorative belts, with the Baby Girl star accessorising with black gloves.

Nicole finished her glamorous look with silver and diamond leaf motif pieces by Cindy Chao, adding a pop of red to her lips.

The movie star’s new hair-do is a new addition to her appearance, as she was recently spotted with longer tresses on Sunday.

Nicole was spotted at the Charli XCX concert at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, pulling her long locks back into a ponytail as she embraced her grungier side. 

She donned an all-black ensemble with lace detailing on a singlet which flaunted her cleavage, paired with loose fitting boyfriend jeans.

She wore her strawberry blonde locks tied back for the occasion and hid her famous visage behind dark sunglasses.

The Australian superstar looked in her element as she posed with her hands on her hips, sharing an image to her Instagram Stories.

‘Great night NYC,’ Nicole wrote beside the photo alongside a green apple emoji. She also tagged hitmaker Charli XCX.

It would seem it is the Aussie star’s year for transformations as she stunned fans with yet another one earlier this year. 

She underwent a dramatic change for the highly anticipated second season of Nine Perfect Strangers.

The Oscar-winning actress, known for her timeless beauty and signature red locks, looked completely unrecognisable in the newly released promotional photos.

Nicole reprises her role as the enigmatic wellness guru Masha and underwent a striking makeover to get into character.

For the role, she said goodbye to her trademark strawberry blonde curls and wore a blonde bob wig for an icy look.

The mother-of-four – consistently ranked among the world’s highest-paid actresses – shares two adopted children, Bella and Connor, with her ex-husband Tom Cruise.

She also shares two teenage daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, with her husband Keith Urban.
