During a holiday trip home to Sydney for her first Christmas since splitting from Keith Urban, the Oscar winner stepped out with the kind of carefree curls fans haven’t seen in years. Letting her natural texture take center stage, Kidman looked fresh and relaxed while celebrating at a Christmas gathering with daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Urban.
The star kept things simple and summery in a pale yellow silk slip dress with delicate lace cap sleeves, pairing the look with gold Manolo Blahnik Susa sandals and a raffia Chanel tote. The bag may be an older style, but it’s still a hot collector’s item — currently listed on The RealReal for $4,600.
Her bouncy curls instantly called back to her iconic ’80s look — although back then, the shade was a fiery red.
It’s been a transformational year for Kidman. In September, she confirmed her separation from country star Keith Urban. But downtime wasn’t on the agenda for long — the actress jumped straight into Fashion Month with her daughters, even watching Sunday Rose hit the runway at Dior’s Spring 2026 show in Paris just days later.
She’s also set to make even more fashion headlines: the Met’s Costume Institute announced Kidman as one of the co-chairs for the upcoming Met Gala, alongside Beyoncé and Venus Williams.
With a new year ahead and a new chapter unfolding, fans are already wondering: is the return to easy, natural curls a hint at Nicole’s “single era” style for 2026?
One thing’s clear — as 58-year-old Kidman steps into the new year, she’s embracing change, confidence, and a little bit of her old-school magic.
