Nicole Kidman revealed what her natural hair really looks like after she suffered a hair fail at the 2025 Kering Women in Motion Award on Sunday.

The actress, 57, first shared snaps of herself going for a dip on the Mediterranean and kept her locks under a hat as she arrived to the coast.

The film star wore a white sundress and a matching hat as she soaked up the sun during her stay in the French Riviera. 

In another snap, Nicole showed off her real hair as she enjoyed lunch with The Last Of Us star Pedro Pascal.

At the 2025 Kering Women In Motion Awards and Cannes Film Festival Presidential Dinner, the Big Little Lies actress revealed her natural curls, having previously worn a hairpiece.

The Nine Perfect Strangers star wore the weave to add volume to her strawberry blonde locks and help give her a more youthful look.

Hollywood stars often wear wigs and hair extensions to achieve a more youthful appearance as hair thins and loses volume with age.

Nicole also showed off her smooth visage at the event with a natural makeup palette.

Donning a striking yet modest red dress, the star, who received the 2025 Kering Women in Motion Award, confidently posed for photos at the prestigious occasion.

Established a decade ago, the honour is given to women who have made a groundbreaking impact on the big screen.

As she accepted the honour, Nicole said she would continue to use her platform to fight for continued gender equality in the film industry.

She said: ‘I’m just an advocate and want to continue to keep moving forward with that.’

Previous winners of the Women in Motion Award include Susan Sarandon and Salma Hayek.

Nicole added: ‘I am proud to join the list of extraordinary women who’ve received this honour before me – artists and trailblazers I deeply admire.

‘Having been involved with the Cannes Film Festival for more than three decades, I am delighted to complement the numerous memories I have created here with this exceptional honor.’

The hair gaffe was Nicole’s second mishap of the day after her hair piece was seen off-centre to her natural scalp line when she sported an all-black ensemble to give her talk for the award.

This consisted of a tightly-fitted leather jacket and black denims that were styled with a large belt.

The actress explained that as part of her commitment to helping women in the industry, she vowed in 2017 to work with a female director every 18 months.

Since then, she revealed, she has worked with 27 women on several projects, including those yet to be released.

‘Part of it is protecting and surrounding the women with almost like a force field of protection and support,’ she said.

Nicole’s habit of wearing wigs in Hollywood movies has earned her a cult following over the years.

The Hollywood star has rarely showcased her natural hair in films since the early days of her career, and almost exclusively wears wigs for all of her movie roles.

An Aussie stylist has since weighed in on her most radical red carpet look at the 2025 Met Gala, where she debuted an edgy new haircut.

Bixie Colour hairstylist Andrew Newport believes her new short style could be a mix of her real hair and extensions.

‘This could be Nicole’s real hair with the length at the back disguised under some artfully placed, clipped or glued in hair pieces,’ he said.

‘This look, which appears to have been achieved by hair magic, could have been created by taking the hair at the back of the head and braiding tightly to the scalp. Nicole’s real hair is featured at the front fringe, plus the hair extensions at the nape would be dressed over the disguised hair.

‘This would take a bit of work and considerable time but is 100% achievable.’
