Nicole Kidman has officially entered her pixie years. The Oscar-winning actress and former L’OFFICIEL cover star stunned at the 2025 Met Gala with a bold new look. She traded her signature long flowing locks for an edgy, short look.
Kidman proved that a hair change can be just as seductive as couture as she stepped onto the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a custom black Balenciaga gown. The minimalist silhouette of her gown—smooth architectural design, sculptural details—allowed the new hair to take center stage, creating a look that was both timeless and modern. She opted for a bold side part—one of the most popular hairstyles of 2025—and proved just how iconic the look can be on the red carpet.
Kidman’s haircut came as a surprise to fans who have long loved her signature hairstyle. Just days before the Met, she was spotted dancing with her long ponytail at Charli XCX’s “Brat” concert in Brooklyn. The effortless, pop-filled moment made the Babygirl actress’ Met Gala appearance all the more stunning.
Kidman wore this look to the 2025 Met Gala. The theme of the gala was the black dandy and his contributions to fashion over the years. Since the dress code for Monday night was “tailored for you,” many guests wore suits of all shapes and sizes. Kidman, however, opted for a gown that was understated and gorgeous.
Kidman’s red carpet appearance reminded us all that style isn’t just about what you wear, it’s about how you evolve. And this new era of hair? She looked awesome.
