Nicole Kidman has sparked a wave of admiration online after unveiling her natural curls in a recent family photo shared by her niece, Lucia Hawley. Posing in a breezy white dress and oversized sunglasses, Kidman’s relaxed, sun-kissed look showed off her shoulder-length curls—marking a return to a style fans haven’t seen in years.

The photo, part of a carousel titled “Griswalds on tour 🕺,” featured Kidman with her sister Antonia and daughter Sunday. Fans flooded the comments with praise: “Love the curls!” and “She looks younger!” Some even called her natural hair more beautiful than her usual red carpet straight styles.

Not everyone was kind—critics on Facebook commented on her appearance—but the overall reaction was largely supportive. In a separate Instagram post captioned “❤️ Côte d’Azur,” Kidman continued to showcase her easygoing, curly style.

In a May video with Allure, Kidman reflected on her early career and how she straightened her curls for roles like Days of Thunder. Now, she’s encouraging girls to embrace their natural hair: “Don’t follow in my steps—embrace the curls.”

Kidman also addressed her bold pixie wig at the 2025 Met Gala and revealed it was part of her role in Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2. She continues to use her ever-evolving hairstyles to express herself—reminding fans that hair isn’t just fashion, it’s identity.
