Nicole Kidman just debunked one of the most pressing mysteries of Met Gala 2025: Did she really cut her hair or was it the ol’ Hollywood switcheroo?
Spoiler alert: It was a wig. A very convincing wig. A wig so good it had the internet in a chokehold for 48 hours straight. But don’t worry, Nicole’s real hair is still very much intact and living its best life.
In a very chill, very Aussie interview with Channel Seven’s Sunrise, the 57-year-old legend (yes, she’s 57 and still giving the girlies a run for their money) cleared up the chaos:
“Everyone’s like, ‘Did you chop your hair off?’ and I’m like, ‘No, I did not,’” she said, probably while sipping tea and laughing at us from a throne made of wigs.
Turns out, Nicole is that girl when it comes to wig life. She’s been swapping hair like outfits for years—movies, TV, random red carpets… probably even to check the mail. Honestly, who is Nicole Kidman without at least one iconic fake hair moment per fiscal quarter?
And if you thought that icy blonde bob with the blunt bangs in Nine Perfect Strangers season two was her latest real-hair transformation? Guess again! That was yet another wig masterclass, courtesy of her character Masha Dmitrichenko, who is apparently in her “Boss Barbie goes to therapy camp” era.
“She’s coming in like a boss,” Nicole said of Masha’s frosty new lewk. “It was very much because Masha has to re-create herself.” Okay, Queen of Reinvention™! She added, “And as you know, I love changing my hair.” Yes, Nicole, we KNOW. We’ve seen it. We’ve been emotionally whiplashed by it.
So, to recap: Nicole’s hair is still on her head. The Met Gala wig lives in our minds rent-free. And Nine Perfect Strangers season two just dropped its first two episodes on Hulu. New episodes hit on Wednesdays, because drama waits for no one, darling.
Now excuse us while we go rethink our entire hairstyle identity.
