Nicole Kidman strips down and wigs up for racy mag shoot

The Aussie Oscar-winner is as chameleonic as ever in her latest glam magazine cover, stripping down for a racy bedroom shoot.

Nicole Kidman’s love for wigs knows no bounds.

The Oscar-winning actress fronted Allure’s May 2025 cover, looking almost unrecognisable in not one but three vibrant copper wigs — or perhaps the same piece in progressively shorter cuts.

In some pictures, Kidman is clad in a fuchsia floor-sweeping Roberto Cavalli gown with a cheek-grazing chop featuring uneven bangs.

In other snaps from the photo shoot, she trades the short hairdo for two other, longer wig with similarly undone bangs, one which hits right above her shoulders and the other grazing her chest.

Kidman modelled one of the colourful hair pieces with Balenciaga’s oversized white T-shirt featuring three photos of herself. The tee, which is part of the brand’s series featuring ambassadors including Kim Kardashian, Michelle Yeoh and more, retails for $US825.

Her hair was courtesy of hairstylist Evanie Frausto, per his Instagram post.

“Loveeee hair is giving fifth element,” one person commented, referring to the iconic bright orange hair on Leeloo (played by actress Milla Jovovich) in the 1997 film, Fifth Element.

Another added, “everything about this hair is perfect omg”

Earlier this month, Kidman caused quite the stir on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet, posing for photographers in a two-tone pixie hairstyle.

But, as it turns out, she didn’t actually cut her tresses — the short haircut was, you guessed it, a wig.

She put the speculations to rest in a new interview with Channel Seven’s Sunrise.

“Everyone’s like, ‘Did you chop your hair off?’ I’m like, ‘No, I did not,’” Kidman said in the video.

She also switched up her hair for the second season of Nine Perfect Strangers, as Kidman’s character, wellness guru Masha Dmitrichenko, sports an icy blond shoulder-skimming style.

While the A-list actress is known for her love of faux hair, she had a recent snafu while in Cannes when eagle-eyed fans spotted some of her real hair peeking out from the front of the wig in a tone that didn’t match.
