Nicole Kidman has done it again. The blonde beauty wowed fans once more, this time, with yet another hair transformation. On May 8, 2025, the actress joined her husband, Keith Urban, at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards in Frisco, Texas. The couple looked dashing in coordinating looks and even packed on the PDA on the red carpet. The country singer received a special honor from the Academy of Country Music, becoming the first artist to receive the ACM Triple Crown since Carrie Underwood in 2010.
For the event, Urban donned a sleek black suit with a velvet blazer and vest, exposing parts of his chest tattoos. Kidman, on the other hand, kept it simple with a black leather halter top matched with black trousers. She kept her accessories to a minimum, wearing only a pair of black flats, a slim watch, and silver rings. But what truly caught everyone’s attention was the actress’ long blonde hair. Kidman looked effortlessly stunning with her sleek, straight locks, which weren’t there just a few days ago.
On May 5, 2025, the “Babygirl” star attended the 2025 Met Gala rocking an edgy pixie cut by Adir Abergel. Many were surprised to see the bold hairstyle, with some wondering if it was a wig. Kidman’s sudden switch from a pixie cut to long, flowing hair has only fueled more speculation. While the actress hasn’t commented on her latest hair transformation, many fans are convinced she’s sporting a wig.
Hairstylist Andrew Newport told DailyMail that Kidman’s short hairstyle was likely a combination of her real hair and extensions. He explained: "This could be Nicole’s real hair with the length at the back disguised under some artfully placed, clipped or glued in hair pieces. This look, which appears to have been achieved by hair magic, could have been created by taking the hair at the back of the head and braiding tightly to the scalp. Nicole’s real hair is featured at the front fringe, plus the hair extensions at the nape would be dressed over the disguised hair." The idea of Kidman wearing a wig isn’t far-fetched at all. The actress has a habit of wearing fake hair in her movies, which led to rumors that she’s bald.
Interestingly, Kidman has shown sensitivity when it comes to questions about her hair. Back in 2018, she shut down a reporter at the Toronto International Film Festival who asked whether she was wearing a wig. The 57-year-old actress has a history of changing her hairstyles dramatically, and her latest transformation has reignited discussions about her ever-evolving look.
At the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards, Kidman debuted a new long, straight hairstyle, showcasing an architectural look from Monse’s fall 2025 ready-to-wear collection. Her outfit featured a sleeveless black leather top with a high neckline and subtle paneling. The armor-like top was paired with black tailored trousers, layered with an asymmetric, draped skirt overlay. Classic black pumps completed the outfit, styled by Jason Bolden, who has worked with Kidman for years and was also responsible for her 2025 Met Gala look.
During the ACM Awards, Urban received the honorary ACM Triple Crown Award. In his acceptance speech, he expressed gratitude towards Kidman, saying, "My wife, Nicole Mary, is here tonight. I love you, babygirl. And our girls Sunday and Faith watching at home tonight, I love you both, too." Urban's heartfelt words highlighted the couple's strong bond and support for each other throughout their careers.
Urban, who has been married to Kidman since June 21, 2006, has often credited her as a significant influence in his life and career. He acknowledged the importance of family during his speech, thanking his wife and daughters for their love and support. The couple shares two daughters, Rose and Faith, born in 2024.
The ACM Triple Crown Award is a prestigious honor given to artists who have won New Artist of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Male Vocalist of the Year throughout the history of the ACM Awards. Urban previously won the Male Vocalist award in 2005 and 2006 and was named Artist of the Year in 2019. Carrie Underwood was the most recent artist to receive the Triple Crown prior to Urban.
Kidman’s appearance at the ACM Awards marks another chapter in her ongoing journey of reinvention and adaptability in the public eye. Her ability to switch from a daring pixie cut to long, flowing locks in just a matter of days showcases not only her versatility as an actress but also her keen sense of style.
As the evening progressed, the couple enjoyed the event, mingling with other stars and celebrating Urban's accomplishments. The ACM Awards, held at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas, brought together some of the biggest names in country music, with Urban's performance and recognition being a highlight of the night.
Fans and critics alike are eager to see what Kidman will do next, especially with her penchant for dramatic hair changes. Whether she opts for a new style or embraces her current look, one thing is for sure: Nicole Kidman continues to captivate audiences with her elegance, charm, and ever-changing appearance.
In a world where celebrity fashion and beauty trends are constantly evolving, Kidman remains a standout figure, effortlessly navigating the spotlight with grace and sophistication. Her ability to embrace change while staying true to herself is a testament to her enduring appeal in the entertainment industry.
