The star’s appearance at the event was described as ”ageless,” and people were quick to note how even more stunning Nicole gets as time passes by. An admirer noted, ”Love this! Kidman, effortlessly chic and outshining all others. Iconic and brave as always.” Another added, ”She’s a beautiful, stunning, talented lady.”
Kidman looks very different in this most recent public appearance, compared to her look earlier this month, where she unveiled a strikingly different look at the premiere of Spellbound in New York. The actress had brought back her signature curly locks, styled in a vibrant strawberry blonde shade reminiscent of her early career.

The transformation delighted many fans, with some expressing a preference for this nostalgic look over her usual blonde style, as one fan had noted, ”I’m glad she went back to red hair. The blonde hair didn’t go well with her light skin color. It washed her out too much.”

We believe Nicole Kidman is so striking that every hairstyle and color suits her flawlessly. The Babygirl actress has been a constant presence on the red carpet this year, turning heads with her stunning looks. Back in October, her backless red carpet outfit caused quite a stir. Take a look here!

Nicole Kidman Wakes Up ‘Crying and Gasping’ amid ‘Loss of Parents’

The Oscar winner’s father died in September 2014, while her mother died in September 2024
Nicole Kidman is continuing to cope with the loss of her parents.
In a new cover story interview with GQ published on Monday, Nov. 18, the Perfect Couple actress, 57, shared how she’s been doing since the death of her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, in September.
Her father, Dr. Antony Kidman, died in September 2014 after falling while visiting her sister, Antonia, in Singapore.
“So life is, whew. It’s definitely a journey. And it hits you as you get older,” Nicole told the outlet, adding that “it’s a wake up at 3 a.m. crying and gasping kind of thing.”
She continued, “If you’re in it and not numbing yourself to it. And I’m in it. Fully in it.”
The Academy Award winner said that her feelings surrounding life and death are “even more so” present now that she’s raising her teens — daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 13 — with husband Keith Urban.

“Mortality. Connection. Life coming and hitting you,” Nicole told GQ. “And loss of parents and raising children and marriage and all of the things that go into making you a fully sentient human. I’m in all of those places.”
Nicole received news of her mother’s death ahead of a Venice Film Festival appearance for her upcoming movie Babygirl.

At the time, the film’s director, Halina Reijn, read a letter on Nicole’s behalf during what would have been the star’s acceptance speech for best actress for her role in Babygirl — Nicole stated that she traveled to Venice, only to learn “shortly after that my beautiful, brave mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, has just passed.”
Speaking to Vanity Fair for a Nov. 13 article, the Big Little Lies actress remembered her late mother as her guiding light.

“She was my compass in a way,” Nicole told the publication. “It’s like losing that, but at the same time going, ‘Okay, well, this is for her then.’ So much of what she wanted for my sister and I was to create women in this world who felt like they could express themselves and have opportunities, especially things she didn’t have from her generation.”
Unfortunately, her mother died before she could see Nicole’s latest work.
“I wish she could have seen this part of it. She was very excited to see Babygirl, and she was excited to see Perfect Couple too, but she didn’t get to see either of those,” Nicole said.

At the Los Angeles premiere of Lioness season 2 on Oct. 23, she told The Hollywood Reporter she was “hanging in there” after her mother’s death.
“I wish my mama was here,” Nicole said. “That’d be the one thing I’d say. Everything is great with work but I wish my mama was here.”
Nicole Kidman Tears Up at ‘Lioness’ Premiere Talking Red-Hot Career: “Wish My Mama Was Here”
The Oscar winner opens up on navigating professional highs amid personal lows after losing her beloved mother Janelle: “It’s been hard. It’s a hard road. I’m hanging in there.”
In a career filled with so many, Nicole Kidman is on another hot streak.
The Oscar-winner picked up a best actress prize last month at the Venice Film Festival for her critically acclaimed turn in Halina Reijn’s steamy Babygirl, only to see her new Netflix series The Perfect Couple rocket to the No. 1 spot on the streaming rankings days later. She next stars in the second season of Taylor Sheridan‘s Paramount+ series Lioness, which debuts Sunday, and she’s just about to jump in front of cameras on Amazon Studios’ Scarpetta opposite fellow Oscar winners Jamie Lee Curtis and Ariana DeBose and based on the Patricia Cornwell novel.
So, how is Kidman feeling about all the good work right about now? It’s complicated. “I wish my mama was here,” she told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday night while walking the red carpet at Hollywood’s Linwood Dunn Theatre. “That’d be the one thing I’d say. Everything is great with work but I wish my mama was here.”
Kidman’s eyes filled with tears as she relayed how bittersweet it is to be walking through this moment in her career and not have the chance to do it alongside her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, who died last month. It was Reijn who broke the news while accepting Kidman’s Volpi Cup for best actress. “I’m in shock, and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her,” wrote Kidman via Reijn. “I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you. The collision of life and art is heartbreaking, and my heart is broken.”
It remains so. “It’s been hard,” Kidman explained to THR on Wednesday. “It’s a hard road. I’m hanging in there.”
On a lighter note, Kidman was keen to talk about working with Sheridan on the newest season of his Paramount+ series that casts her as Kaitlyn Meade, a senior official in the CIA. “Talk about a powerhouse,” she said of Sheridan, who is juggling a massive slate of TV shows from the Yellowstone universe and beyond. “He is doing everything, and writing projects that are so good — he never stops. He’s bringing so much work to all of us and to the industry, and that’s incredible. It’s fantastic.”
More good news for Kidman: It was revealed this week that she’s been selected to receive this year’s prestigious Sherry Lansing Leadership Award during The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Women in Entertainment breakfast gala, set for Dec. 4 in Los Angeles. The actress, producer and philanthropist explained that she’s got a long history not only with Lansing but with Paramount.
“I’m very, very happy to be able to do it,” Kidman said last night of accepting the honor. “Sherry Lansing and I go back so far, so it will allow me to be able to shine a light, not on myself, on other women. That’s what I want to talk about [at the event]. I’m very happy to have been given the chance.”
She had the chance to find comfort in Lioness co-stars like Zoe Saldaña and Morgan Freeman and reps like CAA’s Kevin Huvane and Chris Andrews. Kidman made the scene at the Lioness afterparty at Layla where she was hugging and holding hands with many of them. Peek inside Kidman’s night out below.
