Nicole Kidman, 58, Embraces Her Natural Curls in Full Chanel While Leaving Sydney
Nicole Kidman made a rare and eye-catching return to her natural curls this week, delighting fans as she passed through Sydney Airport. The 58-year-old Oscar winner, known recently for sleek straight hair and elaborate hairpieces, appeared relaxed and radiant on February 11, wearing her voluminous auburn curls freely.
Kidman paired her curls with a navy Chanel double-breasted coat, dark, relaxed denim, oversized designer sunglasses, white lace-up shoes, and a small black Chanel handbag, reflecting the quiet luxury style she has become known for.
Sources say she has been embracing a more natural look while spending time in Australia, focusing on hair health and family after a busy year of filming and fashion commitments.
Her appearance marks a clear departure from recent events, like Paris Fashion Week, where fans noticed a hair topper that didn’t blend well with her natural texture. “It’s so nice to see her letting her natural curls breathe,” said a commenter on social media.
The trip was also personally significant. Kidman spent her first Christmas in Australia since her divorce from Keith Urban was finalized on January 6. During the holiday, she celebrated her youngest daughter, Faith Margaret’s 15th birthday on December 28, sharing a rare, makeup-free photo cradling her daughter while showing off her natural curls on social media.

Fans have praised Kidman’s return to her original auburn curls, calling it a refreshing and authentic look reminiscent of the early nineties when she first became a household name. Observers have noted that she looks radiant simply letting her natural texture shine.
Professionally, Kidman shows no signs of slowing down. She stars in the upcoming Amazon Prime Video psychological thriller Scarpetta, based on Patricia Cornwell’s novels, where she plays medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta. The show premieres on March 11 and also features Jamie Lee Curtis as her sister Dorothy.
She is also set to appear in the Apple TV+ drama Margo’s Got Money Troubles, adapted from Rufi Thorpe’s novel, co-starring Elle Fanning. Both projects continue Kidman’s trend of producing and starring in high-end literary adaptations.
Fans are now speculating about her hairstyle change. Do you think Nicole Kidman’s return to natural curls is a deliberate move for a fresh start after her divorce, or is she simply giving her hair a break from Hollywood styling? Share your thoughts in the comments.
