Nicole Kidman Wigs, Ranked

4

This article was originally published on April 15, 2022, but few actors in Hollywood work harder than Nicole Kidman and none can match her wig output. We’ve updated this list to include her subsequent wigs from across film and television.

Nicole Kidman has been acting for nearly four decades, and with her impressive résumé comes an equally extensive and glorious, albeit highly questionable, history of wearing wigs. The Academy Award winner has cemented herself not only as one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood but as an actress who is committed to wearing every manner of wig any chance she gets.

With nearly 50 entries so far, including her latest wigs in Babygirl, Holland, and Nine Perfect Strangers season two, the Nicole Kidman Wig Cinematic Universe (NKWCU) is stronger than ever. It features numerous scene-stealers, ranging from those that are, let’s say, distracting (Lion, Nine Perfect Strangers) to the rare shining lights in her collection (Moulin Rouge!, Stoker). Kidman is first and foremost a Wig Actress, and her wigs will always be the best supporting players in whatever she’s in. They honestly deserve their own awards campaigns.

Because Kidman’s wigs make movies — and television — better, we’ve ranked every single wig Nicole Kidman has worn, from the most nightmarish to her crowning achievements.

49. Lion (2016)

In Lion, which tells the true story of an Indian child who gets adopted by an Australian couple, Kidman took an Academy Award–nominated turn as the adoptive mother. She wears two different wigs in the movie — in flashback scenes, she dons a horrifying, short, curly red wig, and in present-day scenes, she sports a more typical fluffy mom haircut. The former wig is what I imagine a grown-up Orphan Annie’s hair would look like, and the latter, while not as bad as the first, is still distracting and, to put it bluntly, ugly. It honestly can’t get worse than this.

48. How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017)

Photo: A24/Everett Collection

In John Cameron Mitchell’s 1970s-set How to Talk to Girls at Parties, Kidman plays Queen Boadicea, an eccentric punk-rocker alien who looks straight out of a Party City catalogue. Her choppy platinum wig with black streaks — and the film’s overall need to consistently remind us that we are in fact watching a movie about the English punk scene — is a tragically failed attempt at matching the punk aesthetic.

47. Destroyer (2018)

Photo: Annapurna Pictures/Everett Collection

Kidman once again gives a transformative performance as undercover LAPD detective Erin Bell in Karyn Kusama’s gritty crime-thriller Destroyer. Despite a great performance, she wears not one but two drastically terrible wigs. The first is a decent brunette one seen in flashbacks, and the second is a short brown flippy mess that closely resembles a rat’s nest. It’s so bad that it overshadows the actual plot and becomes the main character. I imagine that at least 75 percent of Destroyer’s budget went to funding these wigs, which look somewhat similar to Kidman’s husband Keith Urban’s hair.

46. Boy Erased (2018)

Photo: Focus Features/Everett Collection

Kidman fully leans into the southern style of Boy Erased, in which she plays a small-town conservative mother who sends her young gay son to a church-supported conversion-therapy program. She sports an uneven southern accent, acrylic nails, and, most important, a voluminous white wig. The teased-to-death hair is as bad as her wrongheaded character, though it succeeds at matching the southern-matriarch look she was aiming for. In the wise words of Dolly Parton, the higher the hair, the closer to God!

45. The Family Fang (2015)

Photo: Alison Cohen Rosa/Starz Digital Media/Everett Collection

The Family Fang is an indie gem about a dysfunctional family starring Jason Bateman (who also directed) and Kidman as siblings who investigate the mysterious disappearance of their performance-artist parents. As a failing actress pushed into doing a topless scene for a movie, Kidman wears a choppy, lifeless brunette wig that is awful to look at for longer than five seconds at a time.

44. Bombshell (2019)

Photo: Hilary Bronwyn Gayle/Lionsgate/Everett Collection

While Bombshell took home the Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling in 2020, which was admittedly deserved in the case of Charlize Theron’s transformation into Megyn Kelly, Kidman’s wig was an abomination. Portraying former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson, Kidman wore a wig that cost between $7,000 and $10,000, according to the Washington Post, and the stiff mess will haunt us forever. Naomi Watts did it slightly better in The Loudest Voice.

43. The Perfect Couple (2024)

Photo: Seacia Pavao/Netflix/Everett Collection

The world could be ending and Kidman would still find time to star as a distressed rich woman with an unidentifiable accent in a coastal-set murder-mystery series, and we love her for it. Unfortunately, Kidman’s shoulder-length curly blonde hair in The Perfect Couple is a monstrosity. A crime against wigs, if you will. One would hope a streaming conglomerate like Netflix would shell out the big bucks for the queen’s faux locks, but alas, it seems they had to opt for one from Shein.

42. The Goldfinch (2019)

Photo: Macall Polay/Warner Bros./Everett Collection

Was The Goldfinch — a failed adaptation of Donna Tartt’s beloved 2013 novel of the same name — a fever dream? Highly plausible. However, there’s nothing better than watching a movie just to see Kidman introduce another questionable addition to the NKWCU, and The Goldfinch doesn’t disappoint in that realm. The first wig, worn during scenes in which the main character is still a child, is actually quite a decent fit for the typical wealthy NYC socialite. When the narrative shifts to the protagonist as an adult, Kidman’s large wig, meant to reflect her character’s aging, is much worse and lacks a natural-looking hairline. I have to assume that everyone, including the hair department, gave up halfway through production and just let her wear doomed wigs the rest of the time.

41. Being the Ricardos (2021)

Photo: Glen Wilson/Amazon Studios/Everett Collection

It feels as if Kidman received her fifth Oscar nomination ages ago, but it wasn’t so long ago that we witnessed her lose to Jessica Chastain, who wore a far better wig in The Eyes of Tammy Faye. There are many things wrong with Aaron Sorkin’s Being the Ricardos. One is that a miscast Kidman — who has pulled off a hefty amount of wigs in her career — can’t pull off the strawberry-blonde perm and uneven bangs meant to resemble Lucille Ball’s iconic 1950s updo.

40. The Upside (2017)

Photo: David Lee/STX Entertainment/Everett Collection

We all forgot Kidman was in The Upside, a comedy starring Kevin Hart as a man hired to help a wealthy man (played by Bryan Cranston) with quadriplegia. It’s unclear why Kidman would want to sign on to a film that underutilized her talents and gave her a terrible wavy wig. It did her so dirty.

39. Before I Go to Sleep (2014)

Photo: Laurie Sparham/Clarius Entertainment/Everett Collection

While Kidman’s bangs in Before I Go to Sleep look half decent, the rest of her wig does not. From the textured waves to the terrible center part, everything about it is painful to look at and marks another entry in the NKWCU’s peak Bad Wigs Era.

38. The Invasion (2007)

Photo: Warner Bros./Everett Collection

The Invasion, which currently sits at a 19 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, stars Kidman as a Washington, D.C.–based psychiatrist who discovers an epidemic that turns human beings into aliens and then realizes her son is the key to help stop it. It’s a rare occurrence for Kidman’s wigs to upstage those worn by her co-stars, but her short blonde hair — which is still really bad — is miles better than whatever Daniel Craig is subjected to.

37. Genius (2016)

Photo: Marc Brenner/Roadside Attractions/Everett Collection

There’s not much to say about Kidman’s role as Aline Bernstein in this dreary biopic about editor Maxwell Perkins. There’s not much to say about her shapeless, messy brunette wig, either.

36. The Paperboy (2012)

Photo: Anne Marie Fox/Millennium Entertainment/Everett Collection

In Lee Daniels’s The Paperboy, Kidman plays Charlotte Bliss, the spray-tanned fiancée of a convict (played by Matthew McConaughey) in 1960s Miami. Because of its low budget, The Paperboy marked Kidman’s first time doing her own hair and makeup for a film. Her glorious bleached-blonde wig is full of volume and helps achieve her character’s bimbo look. The Paperboy is one of Kidman’s campiest roles to date, and the same applies to her wig.

35. A Family Affair (2024)

Photo: Tina Rowden/Netflix/Everett Collection

Like this Netflix comedy’s existence, Nicole’s wig in A Family Affair is utterly forgettable. For her 2024 onscreen reunion with Zac Efron, Kidman plays a successful writer who falls for Efron’s movie star, though the pair painfully shares zero chemistry despite having starred in The Paperboy together. More painful is that Kidman wears a horrifying yellow-tinged wig. Whoever approved it should be fired.

34. Secret in Their Eyes (2015)

Photo: Karen Ballard/STX Entertainment/Everett Collection

An English-language remake of the 2009 Argentine film of the same name, Secret in Their Eyes fails in many ways, one of which being the two bad Kidman wigs it subjects us to — though they’re not nearly as bad as the one it puts on Julia Roberts’s head. Kidman’s aren’t completely terrible, but from certain angles they look as if they’re floating.

33. Trespass (2011)

Photo: Alan Markfield/Millenium Films/Everett Collection

Let me emphasize that Joel Schumacher’s Trespass, despite starring Kidman, Nicolas Cage, and Ben Mendelsohn, is a train wreck of a movie. However, it offers us one sliver of hope: a decent Kidman wig. The long, straight hair with curtain bangs looks mostly natural aside from when it becomes stringy once her character is in distress.

32. Roar (2022)

Photo: Lachlan Moore/Apple TV+/Everett Collection

New Kidman wig drop! In the second episode of the star-studded Apple TV+ anthology series, Kidman plays a woman who scarfs down old photographs to experience the rush of being transported back to her childhood memories. She eats paper a lot, gets the rare opportunity to keep her Australian accent for a role, and sports a short red haircut. Despite its not really looking like Kidman is wearing a wig (could her natural hair really be a bob? There’s a high chance), this choppy wig is very distracting, especially when styled in a way that makes it stand out — literally.

31. Nine Perfect Strangers, season one (2021)

Photo: Vince Valitutti/ HULU

Kidman is great at doing two things: starring in adaptations of Liane Moriarty novels and accepting any role that lets her wear a funky wig. In Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers, she gets to do both, playing a Russian wellness guru who operates a mysterious retreat in California that invites (and traps) a group of desperate people for a transformational experience. Not only does she don an incredibly long blonde mane that looks as if it was doused in beach-wave spray, she puts on an equally distracting Russian accent. It’s television at its finest.

30. Australia (2008)

Photo: 20th Century Fox/Everett Collection

Starring opposite Hugh Jackman in Baz Luhrmann’s romance epic set against the backdrop of World War II, Kidman wears yet another classic blonde hairdo. While she has said she isn’t proud of her performance in Australia, at least her wig wasn’t completely terrible.

29. Aquaman (2018) and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023)

Photo: Warner Bros./Everett Collection

Superhero movies don’t have the best track record for delivering great wigs (see X-Men’s Mystique and the ones worn by Woody Harrelson in Venom: Let There Be Carnage), and Kidman’s extremely, extremely long platinum waves in DC’s Aquaman (which also features a bad red wig on Amber Heard) is definitely a member of the Bad Superhero Wigs Club™. Her hair in the sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom isn’t any better. The lively blonde mermaid waves are nearly identical to the wig she later wears in Nine Perfect Strangers, and I’m fully convinced the Hulu series reused it.

28. Special Ops: Lioness (2023–present)

Photo: Luke Varley/Paramount+

Nobody in Hollywood works harder than Kidman and her wigs, and random shows like Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ series Lioness are proof. Here, she plays Kaitlyn Meade, a high-ranking CIA supervisor who oversees Zoe Saldaña’s senior case officer in the titular military program. Kidman has a commanding presence, and her curly head of hair — worn mostly in a ponytail, braid, or bun across both seasons — is clearly a wig but one that manages to stay consistent and look decent, which is the bare minimum.

27. The Railway Man (2013)

Based on the true story of Eric Lomax, The Railway Man centers on a British man (played by Colin Firth) struggling with the psychological trauma of his experience as a Japanese prisoner of war in World War II. Kidman gives a poignant, understated performance as his supportive wife, Patti, all the while wearing a brunette bob that resembles her Paddington hair. Kidman loves a bob more than anyone, but this one is not her best.

26. Holland (2025)

Photo: Jaclyn Martinez/Amazon/Everett Collection

Holland is a flat-out bad and not-so-thrilling thriller whose saving grace is a very dedicated, Stepford Wives–esque Kidman. Here, she plays yet another unhappy American housewife, this time in a small Michigan town, who uncovers something sinister happening in her community. Unlike many of the wigs on this list, Kidman’s shoulder-length blonde hair in Holland actually looks like something that’s supposed to go on her head as opposed to a wig that looks thrown on at the last second.

25. Hemingway & Gellhorn (2012)

Photo: HBO

Many of Kidman’s better wigs are blonde or shoulder length, but this unfortunately doesn’t ring true for the HBO movie Hemingway & Gellhorn, which stars Clive Owen as a caricature of Ernest Hemingway and a Golden Globe–nominated Kidman as his wife, the journalist Martha Gellhorn. The wig isn’t perfect — it looks good in some moments and clearly looks as if a wig is attached to her scalp in others — but at least it resembles Gellhorn’s hair to an extent.

24. Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)

Photo: Columbia Picutres/Everett Collection

A lesser-known entry in Kidman’s filmography is Fur, an unconventional romance about photographer Diane Arbus’s relationship with Lionel Sweeney (Robert Downey Jr.). It’s a bizarre film that tells a fictionalized story about a woman known for her strange photos. Kidman wears an average brunette wig with side-swept bangs throughout, and there’s not much special about it except how it’s not cripplingly bad to look at.

23. To Die For (1995)

Photo: Columbia Pictures/Everett Collection

Gus Van Sant’s black comedy To Die For features Kidman at the top of her game, giving a stellar performance as femme fatale Suzanne Stone, an ambitious and narcissistic local weather girl adamant on getting out of her small suburban town and making it in the big leagues. Beatrix Aruna Pasztor’s vivid costumes are very much of the ’90s, and so is Kidman’s fluffy news-reporter hair, which predates the bad wig she wears in Bombshell.

22. Grace of Monaco (2014)

Photo: The Weinstein Company

This 2014 biopic about Hollywood icon turned princess of Monaco Grace Kelly opened to scathing reviews at the Cannes Film Festival and ended up being dumped on Lifetime, never to be heard of again. It does a big disservice to the late actress, and the attempts to re-create Kelly’s glamorous hairstyles don’t quite live up to expectations. While the wigs are a decent attempt at the real-life inspiration, they’re forgettable and not nearly as gorgeous.

21. The Golden Compass (2007)

Photo: New Line Cinema/Everett Collection

Kidman can tackle any type of vivid story that comes her way, and The Golden Compass is a great example of her range. Long before HBO adapted Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, Kidman starred in this fantasy film based on the first installment, Northern Lights. As Mrs. Coulter, Kidman sports a stunning blonde bob with pin curls that is a perfect match for the iconic character’s stone-cold villain vibes in a bold, but ultimately successful, departure from Coulter’s original sleek black hair.

20. Top of the Lake: China Girl (2017)

Photo: See-Saw Films/Sundance/Everett Collection

Twenty-one years after starring in Jane Campion’s The Portrait of a Lady, Kidman reunited with the Academy Award–winning filmmaker for Top of the Lake: China Girl. No stranger to doing everything it takes to transform into a character, Kidman wears a nose prosthetic, a false tooth gap, and faux freckles for her part in the series. Most notably in this physical transformation, Kidman’s role as Julia Edwards — the estranged adoptive mother of Robin Griffin’s (Elisabeth Moss) daughter, Mary — required her to wear another transcendent wig. The larger-than-life salt-and-pepper locks channeling artist Kiki Smith suit her well and are a great fit for her character’s vibes, though the wig is nowhere near her best.

19. Babygirl (2024)

Photo: Niko Tavernise/A24/Everett Collection

Halina Reijn’s provocative A24 drama took the world by storm, and it’s largely thanks to Kidman’s turn as Romy, a married tech CEO exploring her sexual desires with a younger intern (Harris Dickinson). Kidman has always had an affinity for daring roles just as much as she loves sporting wigs, and Babygirl is the perfect showcase for both. While Romy’s messy bun certainly isn’t her best work to date, it looks like a style Kidman would use in real life — though the similar hair in her iconic AMC ad manages to appear much more natural than it does throughout Babygirl’s entirety.

18. Expats (2024)

Photo: Amazon/Everett Collection

Lulu Wang’s first TV foray stars Kidman as an American living in Hong Kong who, along with several other expatriates, navigates grief and identity after her young son goes missing. In the woefully underseen Prime Video series, she wears a strawberry-blonde bob that has its good (curly) and bad (straightened) moments. Not only is Kidman at the top of her game here, but it’s easily one of the better entries in the NKWCU of the past few years. The bob was bobbing!

17. The Northman (2022)

Photo: Aidan Monaghan/Focus Features/Everett Collection

Kidman gives an unhinged performance in Robert Eggers’s highly anticipated Viking epic. Equally unhinged is her extraordinarily long white wig, sometimes styled with braided pigtails. She plays Alexander Skarsgård’s mom just a few years after playing his wife in Big Little Lies — the duality! Despite Eggers practically assembling a film lover’s version of the Avengers, The Northman’s true scene-stealer is Kidman and her volumeless wig. Sorry to Skarsgård’s abs and Willem Dafoe’s enormous faux forehead, which must deal with second and third place, respectively.

16. Nine Perfect Strangers, season two (2025)

Photo: Reiner Bajo/Disney

Did Nine Perfect Strangers really need a follow-up four years after its first season was released? Absolutely not. But we’re grateful its existence has provided us with a fresh new wig to add to Kidman’s already stacked collection. Season two transports us from a California wellness resort to a retreat in the snowy Austrian Alps, and with that, Kidman’s Russian guru Masha’s hair has transformed from long, wavy locks to a blunt blonde bob with bangs. While not necessarily the best looking, it’s a fuckass bob that suits her character’s — and the show’s — overall wackiness.

15. Big Little Lies (2017–19)

Photo: HBO

Kidman’s strawberry-blonde wig evidently went through a lot between seasons one and two of Big Little Lies. What started as an effortlessly sophisticated wig that lacked a clear origin point turned into a wispier (sometimes lifeless) hairdo that actually does resemble human hair to some extent. While everyone was too distracted by Shailene Woodley’s haunting (very real) bangs in the second season, the true star was the increase in the quality of Kidman’s hair. If we choose to ignore season one’s Valerie Cherish knockoff that flows perfectly in the California breeze, then we have a good second wig in an otherwise disappointing season.

14. The Undoing (2020)

Photo: Niko Tavernise/HBO

The Undoing is a great example of the phrase “Great gowns, beautiful gowns” — or, in this case, coats. Here, Kidman reunites with fellow Paddington villain Hugh Grant, playing an Upper East Side mom who sports all the aforementioned fabulous outerwear. Aside from her style, the highlight of this HBO limited series is Kidman’s luscious, enormous locks, which closely resemble her own natural hair color and texture. When The Undoing aired, many viewers questioned whether Kidman’s natural hair was making a rare appearance, in a testament to the wig’s strength and success.

13. Bewitched (2005)

Photo: Columbia Pictures/Everett Collection

Both the vibes in Nora Ephron’s remake of the beloved 1960s sitcom of the same name and Kidman’s wigs are bewitching (sorry). Her curly blonde bob with bangs is gorgeous and doesn’t look as though it was slapped on at the last minute, much to our delight. It’s also superior to the wig worn by Amy Adams in Ephron’s otherwise lovely Julie & Julia — you have to pick your battles.

12. Paddington (2014)

Photo: Laurie Sparham/Weinstein Company/Everett Collection

In the first Paddington movie, Kidman takes on a villain role as Millicent, a taxidermist who wants to stuff the adorable and innocent titular bear and add him to her collection at London’s Natural History Museum. Kidman succeeds in achieving the villain look, sporting a sleek Violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory–esque platinum-blonde bob with bangs (along with some incredible costumes). It’s not natural-looking or perfect, but this ambitious wig is ideal for the heightened world of Paddington.

11. The Stepford Wives (2004)

Photo: Paramount/Everett Collection

After she sets foot in the suburban town of Stepford, where wives sacrifice their lives in order to please their husbands, Kidman’s hair shifts from a short brunette moment to long blonde hair that makes her look exactly like Barbie. I would show my hairdresser a picture of the first haircut, and both these wigs are some of Kidman’s best to ever grace the silver screen.

10. The Prom (2020)

Photo: Melinda Sue Gordon/Netflix/Everett Collection

Kidman is the MVP of this musical, which let her take a break from the dramatic roles she’s known for and gave her the space to have as much fun as possible — she literally sings a song called “Zazz.” It’s shocking that it took a Ryan Murphy production for Kidman finally to get a good wig, but alas, it had to happen this way. Kidman’s gorgeous wig appears to have gotten all the attention while Meryl Streep’s was left to fend for itself.

9. Margot at the Wedding (2007)

Photo: Paramount Classics/Everett Collection

In Noah Baumbach’s Margot at the Wedding, Kidman’s titular character is an insufferable, unlikeable person, but if anyone who could make you like a movie centered on an annoying character, it’s this actress. She wears a brunette wig that looks good enough to make you question whether she’s actually wearing a wig or just dyed her hair. Kidman, her convincing wig, and the Paddington-esque hat she wears were robbed of an Oscar nomination.

8. Nine (2009)

Photo: David James/Weinstein Company/Everett Collection

Rob Marshall’s divisive 2009 romance-musical Nine seems as if it were crafted for the sole purpose of seeing how many people with Oscar recognition could be in the same movie (there are six winners and seven nominees). Kidman and the rest of the ensemble did the best they could with the material they were given, but thankfully Nine also gave Kidman another musical and a stunningly elegant blonde wig to add to her résumé.

7. Stoker (2013)

Photo: Macall Polay/Fox Searchlight/Everett Collection

Kidman’s luscious bobbed red wig is amazing — as is her monologue about why people have children — in Park Chan-wook’s English-language debut, which casts her as Mia Wasikowska’s mom. Plus her hair transforms into a literal field of grass. The hair team gave it their all with this wig, and it’s cinematic hair at its finest.

6. The Others (2001)

Photo: Dimension Films/Everett Collection

The Others and Moulin Rouge! were released in the same year, giving us two of Kidman’s greatest performances and wigs. As Grace in Alejandro Amenábar’s gothic thriller, she plays a single mother of two who decides to move to the old mansion she lived in as a child and later has to protect her children from the ghosts lurking in the haunted home. Her short red hair is a great fit for the eerie atmosphere and also just looks pretty damn great.

5. The Peacemaker (1997)

Photo: DreamWorks/Everett Collection

I aspire for my hair to look like Kidman’s in The Peacemaker, a 1997 movie about a U.S. Army colonel (George Clooney) and a nuclear specialist (Kidman) who track down stolen Russian nukes before they lead to a disaster. Her shoulder-length brown hair with side-swept bangs is all-around stunning and one of her most simple yet beautiful looks.

4. Batman Forever (1995)

Photo: Warner Bros./Everett Collection

In Batman Forever, one of the many Batman iterations we’ve seen in the past few decades, Kidman plays Selina Kyle–Catwoman to Val Kilmer’s Bruce Wayne–Batman. She looks stunning throughout this superhero flick, largely thanks to her elegant strawberry-blonde hair. It’s arguably some of the best hair to ever grace a superhero movie.

3. The Hours (2002)

Photo: Paramount/Everett Collection

Kidman is nearly unrecognizable as Virginia Woolf in The Hours, a brilliant performance that earned her a well-deserved Academy Award. She transforms into the beloved English author from head to toe with the help of a prosthetic nose, heavy makeup, and a killer brunette wig pulled back into a loose bun. The wig is essential to her performance, and had it been any less convincing, Kidman wouldn’t have made such an impact in the film.

2. Moulin Rouge! (2001)

Photo: 20th Century Fox/Everett Collection

Thanks to its convincing look and similarities to her natural hair, it’s often difficult to tell if Kidman is even wearing a wig throughout Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 classic Moulin Rouge! Her performance as Satine is undoubtedly one of her greatest and most iconic, as is her dreamy, thick scarlet wig. Everything about Moulin Rouge! is to die for, from the amazing soundtrack to the elaborate set designs to the over-the-top costumes, and Kidman’s silky wig is just as great.

1. Birth (2004)

Photo: New Line Cinema/Everett Collection

Kidman’s collection of wigs peaked with the pixie cut in Jonathan Glazer’s 2004 film Birth, in which she plays a woman who becomes convinced that her dead husband has been reincarnated into a 10-year-old boy. The departure from her typical long curls is a perfect complement to this complex and chilling role. It’s nearly impossible to tell if it’s a wig or if she decided to chop off all her hair, and I highly doubt Kidman will ever top this perfectly fitted wig.
