Nicole Kidman at Met Gala 2025: Her hairstyle shocked everyone

57-year-old American actress Nicole Kidman once again proved that she is not afraid of bold experiments. On the red carpet of the Met Gala, which took place on May 5 at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the actress appeared with an ultra-short haircut and outshone many.
Nicole Kidman officially said goodbye to her signature long hair and appeared at Met Gala 2025 in a new, remarkably bold look — with an ultra-short pixie haircut.
Hair slicked back added character and audacity to her look, proving that a hairstyle change can be just as impressive as a haute couture outfit.

Leaving behind the classic Hollywood style, the actress walked up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum in a luxurious black Balenciaga dress created especially for her.
The minimalist, architecturally precise silhouette of the dress perfectly emphasized the new haircut, which definitely became the star of the evening.
A deep side part — one of the top hair trends of 2025 — looked truly stylish and modern on Kidman.

For fans of the actress, this transformation came as a surprise. Just a few days before the ball, she was seen at a Charli XCX concert in Brooklyn — back then, she was enjoying herself with a long ponytail, so the sudden shift to a short cut had the effect of a real wow moment.
At the ball, dedicated to the theme of black dandyism and the contribution of individual tailoring to fashion, Kidman chose a dress instead of a suit and went for a restrained yet powerful image.

And with this, she only emphasized: true style is not just about clothing, but about the willingness to change and to surprise.
