Nicole Kidman showcased her natural blonde curls as she departed Sydney Airport after a family vacation in Australia. The actress opted for a relaxed yet chic ensemble, wearing a Chanel ribbed black top, quilted black leather jacket, wide-leg khaki pants, dark sunglasses, and a black travel tote, paired with white sneakers from The Row ($820). She was accompanied by her daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, with Sunday mirroring her mother’s style in a black tee and leather jacket.

Kidman has recently embraced her curly hair, stepping away from her signature straightened styles or Hollywood waves, and occasionally ditching wigs. Her loose curls, spotted multiple times during her holiday, drew comparisons to her ’80s look, when she often wore her naturally red hair in similar texture.

The change in appearance follows her September separation from husband Keith Urban. In a New Year’s Eve Instagram post, Kidman hinted at a fresh start, writing she was “looking forward into 2026.” She also chose the curly style for Faith’s recent 15th birthday celebration. Fans are hopeful this effortless, natural look becomes a permanent part of her post-vacation style.
