Nicole Kidman. Style icon ageing gracefully or a surgical homage to insecurity? You decide.

Nicole Kidman has horrible hair and she can't do anything about it! (Except eat)

So this is a wig? That makes sense, why have I never realised this?

It's sad when you can't get time to do your roots.

"Many people miss Nicole's ridiculously untamable red locks - but that sad truth is her hair has gone completely grey.
Completely grey hair is a bitch. Since the hair lacks pigment, it doesn't hold color as well - which is why many ladies like Nicole just go blonde (Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer do too). The texture of grey hair is very coarse and wiry, which explains the drastic frizz farm Nicole has cultivated on her scalp. Kidman, the frizz in your thinning, colorless hair could put an eye out.
But what is Nicole to do? Grey, curly, coarse hair is enough to make anyone just shave their head and give up. But at least she's still trying. I wish she would go a darker color (which she usually does when she wigs it up for a role).

I have no advice for this woman, other than to sit down once a day an eat a protein-rich meal. Natural redheads have less hair than blondes or brunettes, and going grey hasn't helped her hair much either.
As you can see from this au naturale shot, she doesn't have much hair to work with. This is why you always see her in wigs and hair pieces. For all the people over the years who didn't believe me, this shot is for you! Nicole Kidman has bad hair. I've had this discussion with so many women - and everyone is quick to defend the Aussie Anorexic. Ladies - this is her real hair. The hair you see in movies and on the Red Carpet (and think is beautiful and perfect) - it's all lace-front WIGS!
Sadly, Nicole's real hair is thinning from malnutrition and has gone prematurely gray. You can practically see her pulse, it's so thin. Redheads don't have it easy when it comes to hair - they actually have the least amount of hair strands to begin with, and it's very fine hair.
Compare this hair with the wigs we always see her in. Also notice how some sort of fringe is always used to better disguise the wig at the hairline".


On my daily search for the truth about Kidman I occasionally stumble upon something fabulous. This is from a blog sadly no longer updated by someone called The Bad Hair Czar. I figured he wouldn't mind if I recycled it for our amusement! Quite interesting what he has to say about the state of Kidman's hair health.

Even though Kidman claims, in the current issue of Marie Claire, that she is "completely natural," there's no way around the question: What has she done to her face? The question of actors (men and women) and plastic surgery is a delicate one, but at this point, it's disingenuous to pretend not to notice any change. Kidman's skin is, without a doubt, beautiful. But it has turned into her greatest limitation, a boundary beyond which she can't stretch. In one scene, the camera lingers on her face (she's gotten herself into a situation that she can't get out of) and we're left to concentrate, for too long, on the great effort it takes her to furrow her brow. She finally comes up with something -- two smooth little bumps between her eyebrows -- but the effort it cost her just couldn't have been worth it--Stephanie Zarachek
Do we really live in a world where if I question what someone says or cast doubt upon their motivations, it automatically means I hate them?

Life just isn't that black and white.

If I choose to see the joke in the lunacy of fame, how does this equate with envy? Make up your own mind, either way don't mistake mine.
"At first I didn't recognize Nicole Kidman in Margot at the Wedding, and not just because of what appear to be alterations in the planes of her chiseled face. No, the Kidman who plays the title role in Noah Baumbach's follow-up to The Squid and the Whale — another pleasurable/painful thumb-press on the bruises of family dynamics, in what's fast becoming identifiable as the Baumbach Maneuver — gives herself fully to playing a woman of weirdly thrilling neuroses". Gee, you sure she was acting?

Plasticopedia"s list of Nicole"s surgery addiction.

Nicole Kidman had a rhinoplasty, lip augmentation, and is a frequent user of Botox injections to keep her porcelaine, wrinkle-free skin intact. Nicole Kidman's new nose has been reshaped as it is more defined, the tip is retracted and shorter, and the nostrils are smaller than her old nose.
Nicole Kidman’s fondness for plastic surgery has not stopped at a nose job, as she is known to have had Botox injections on numerous occassions and lip augmentation via injectible fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm. Kidman’s repeated use of Botox has led to her having an expressionless, frigid look in some public appearances and has caused some critics to accuse her of having a "Botox brow", which leads to an excessively arched eyebrow which can make the person look angry.
At the 2007 Oscars, it has been speculated that in addition to having lip augmentation for the event, Nicole Kidman may have gotten a breast augmentation in the recent past, as her bust seems to have grown. Nicole’s somewhat bustier appearance lead some to speculate that she might very likely had a breast augmentation in the recent past. Being that Nicole’s previous red carpet appearances showed a rather “boyish” flat chest, her recent appearances in more busty dresses indicate that breast implants might be in the mix. “She appears to have possibly had a breast augmentation. Her breasts remain in proportion to her figure though, and if done, appears to have been a very nice job,” said fellow Make Me Heal Oscars Coverage member plastic surgeon Anthony Youn. Beyond the mystery around her lack of wrinkles is the absence of any slack skin, sagging jowls around her jawline, or any loss of tautness in Kidman’s neck. While it is unlikely that the actress had a face lift or even a mini facelift, it is quite likely that Kidman partakes in many non-surgical facial procedures such as chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, and possibly thermage or other new age laser procedure. Whether Kidman has had further body work such as liposuction is unknown, but as a couture devotee it's likely.
