Nicole Kidman is back, and this time, she’s bringing the spice, the scandal, and a title that’s got her husband Keith Urban clutching his neck tattoo with both hands. Yes, the steamy new trailer for Babygirl just dropped, and let’s just say, Christmas dinner conversations are about to get… awkward.
The Oscar-winning actress stars alongside Harris Dickinson in the latest A24 drama that screams, “HR meeting gone wild!” Nicole plays a no-nonsense CEO who decides that work-life balance is overrated and plunges headfirst into a very, very messy fling with her much-younger intern. Let’s hope the company has a solid PR team because, honey, this one’s going to hit the tabloids hard.
Adding to the Babygirl chaos are Antonio Banderas, who could probably make reading a grocery list sound sultry, and Sophie Wilde, whose character we can only assume is here to yell, “Girl, don’t!” Directed by Halina Reijn, this film promises to deliver all the drama and inappropriate workplace behavior you didn’t know you needed this holiday season. And yes, it’s hitting theaters on Christmas Day, because nothing says “peace on Earth” like torrid affairs and career jeopardy.
Now, let’s talk about the title, which has a story juicier than the movie itself. In her recent W Magazine cover story, Nicole spilled some tea about how Babygirl has a personal touch—literally. Turns out, Keith Urban has the word “Babygirl” tattooed on the back of his neck. “I don’t know if Halina knows that, but it’s all part of this sprinkling of fairy dust that happens,” Nicole shared, casually reminding us that even her chaos comes with glitter.
But wait, there’s more! Keith apparently has exclusive rights to calling her “Babygirl,” a term of endearment now forever entangled with this steamy cinematic masterpiece. Nicole revealed, “Keith’s not allowed to call anyone else Babygirl… But now, because of the film, it’s taken on a different meaning. So he’s like, ‘No, I still have total rights over Babygirl!’” And there you have it—Nicole Kidman, unintentionally turning Christmas into a trademark war.
So, grab your popcorn, your workplace conduct manual, and maybe some holy water, because Babygirl is coming to theaters near you. Watch the trailer below, and prepare for a holiday season hotter than grandma’s mulled wine!
