The Babygirl actress arrived at the 2025 Met Gala rocking a brand new haircut — a pixie cut, wherein the majority was smoothly slicked back. A considerable portion of the hair was also fashioned as a cropped side-part bob, which covered part of her forehead. The actress’s hair color was also a neat blend between her regular blonde and black.
Kidman’s stylist Adir Abergel recently shared a series of photos on Instagram, explaining the inspiration behind the The Perfect Couple star’s haircut, which they called “The Superfine tailored short cut.”
Abergel shared that the haircut “brought out the essence of Dandyism on Nicole Kidman.”
Moreover, the hairstylist also explained their desire to celebrate the 2025 Met Gala’s theme by “honoring the Dandies and their individuality, elegance, and confidence,” wherein “every detail” was “tailored to that unique person.”
As for her attire, Kidman wore a black strapless Balenciaga gown. She completed the look with black gloves and black pointed-toe pumps. Her accessories included earrings, a bangle, a ring from Cindy Chao’s Art Jewel White Label collection, and a 1969 Ladymatic “Saphette” timepiece from Omega, for which she serves as a brand ambassador.
Kidman spoke of her fascination for Balenciaga in a recent Vogue interview. She noted how it had “developed and evolved in such a specific way over the years.”
The actress then explained how she was inspired by outgoing creative director Demna’s sketch of her dress, noting how he took a “beautiful piece from the house’s past” and modernized it in a manner that felt unique to her.
