Nicole Kidman Opens Up About Wigs and Her Met Gala Look

Nicole Kidman has broken her silence on wearing wigs to achieve different looks.

The Australian actress, 57, admitted on Channel Seven’s Sunrise she ‘loves changing her hair’ and uses hairpieces to achieve new looks.

‘As you know, I love changing my hair,’ she said.

Nicole also addressed her edgy short hairstyle that she debuted at the 2025 Met Gala earlier this month.

‘For the Met Gala, everyone was questioning if I had chopped my hair off. But no, I didn’t,’ she added.

Nicole unveiled her radical makeover at one of the biggest fashion events of the year.

The actress wore an eye-catching Balenciaga gown to the Met Gala, yet it was her cropped, slicked-back cut and wavy fringe that had everybody talking.

The long ponytail she sported at a concert by pop star Charli XCX only the day before had disappeared, replaced by a short style that appeared soft and blonde from the front, but dark and edgy at the back.

When she stepped out at the Metropolitan Museum of Art sporting a slick pixie cut, it delighted her admirers.

Scores of fans shared their thoughts on the new look on X – and while it was unclear if Nicole was wearing a short wig or showing her true locks, many were praising the star for ditching her common use of hairpieces and showing her ‘real’ hair.

‘Omg Nicole Kidman on the MET stairs… fiercely gorgeous. Love the short hair on this lady!’ wrote one.

Another said: ‘Wow! Nicole Kidman looked stunning. Love love love her new hair style’.

Someone else said: ‘NICOLE KIDMAN SHORT HAIR THE WORLD IS HEALING’ while one more wrote: ‘Obsessed with Nicole Kidman’s hair cut’.

Yet another pondered: ‘Oh snap, when was the last time we’ve seen Nicole Kidman’s real hair?’ while one more agreed: ‘Nicole Kidman with her real hair today’.

The Babygirl star’s hairdresser is Adir Abergel, one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stylists.

Aberge said on Instagram the inspiration was ‘a tailored short cut’ – a reference to the theme of the New York event this year, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’.

Many fans rushed to Instagram to claim the cut is the best hair Nicole ‘has ever had’ – though some argued that, for most women of a similar age, such an edgy style might be hard to pull off.

It would seem it is Nicole’s year for transformations after she previously stunned fans 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, was barely recognisable 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.
