Nicole Kidman Revives Her ’90s Curls and Steps Out Looking Unapologetically Herself

After months of sharp, controlled looks that leaned into sleek revenge-glam territory, Nicole Kidman is clearly entering a new chapter — and doing it on her own terms. Over the weekend, the actress was spotted departing Sydney, Australia, and it wasn’t her outfit that stopped people in their tracks first. It was her hair.

Gone were the polished, straight styles. In their place: a head of messy, natural, voluminous blonde curls that instantly transported fans back to the 1990s. The look echoed the era when Kidman famously embraced her natural texture during and after her Far and Away years. This time, the curls fell to her shoulders, with soft, curly bangs framing her face in a way that felt raw, nostalgic, and intentional.

Her travel outfit balanced that undone hair with refined fashion. Kidman wore a black ribbed Chanel top tucked neatly into wide-leg cream trousers. A cropped black leather jacket added structure, while white sneakers kept the look grounded and practical. She finished it off with oversized dark sunglasses and a Chanel travel bag, creating a contrast between effortless movement and high-fashion precision.

Kidman wasn’t traveling alone. She was accompanied by her daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, whom she shares with ex-husband Keith Urban. The trio moved through Sydney Airport together, drawing quiet attention without any attempt to perform for the cameras.

Both girls appeared to take inspiration from their mother’s style confidence. Sunday leaned into an edgier look with a leather jacket, black top, baggy blue jeans, and dark accessories. Faith opted for a softer approach, wearing an ivory peplum top with black polka dots paired with loose, light-wash jeans. Different styles, same ease.

After ending her long-running marriage, the actress chose to spend the festive period back on home soil in Australia. The Babygirl star officially initiated divorce proceedings in September, closing the chapter on a 19-year relationship with the country singer—turning the visit into a moment of reflection and renewal rather than a simple holiday escape.

Between the natural curls, the relaxed confidence, and the quiet family moment, Kidman’s latest appearance felt symbolic — not a throwback for nostalgia’s sake, but a reminder of who she was before the noise, and who she still is beneath it all.
