Nicole Kidman’s teased-up casual look: adorable or too frilly?

Simply take this as evidence of how slow it is this morning. In a few minutes, I’m going to be writing about Peaches Geldof too, so there’s that to look forward to. These are new photos of Nicole Kidman, out to lunch. She’s not in costume. Her big, teased up hairstyle is not part of some stereotypical “Southern” character. I’m not even sure if she’s currently working on any film, is she? Her IMDB says no – she’s got three films in post and nothing coming up.

I say all of that because these days, THIS is how Nicole dresses casually, when she’s out to lunch. This is her style. Do you hate it? My immediate reaction was going to be to hate on it, but as I really looked at the pieces of this look, I think it’s appropriate for her. It’s lady-like, somewhat dainty and fussy, but well-put-together. I like the idea of the trousers, but the tailoring seems off in the hips. The blouse is too frilly for my tastes, but I understand that Nicole loves these lacy, frilly things, and the stuff on the bust makes her chest look bigger.

As for the hair – how much would you love it if this was Nicole’s new hair style from here on out? I would love it. She lives in Nashville now (sort of), and it’s good to see some of “the bigger the hair, the closer to God” philosophy rubbing off on her.

I can’t see much of Nicole’s usually jacked face, so I’m declaring this outing a style “win.” I’m not even being assaulted by her lips (except for in that one profile photo). YAY for Nicole!

    That’s not casual. She looks like she went to a business meeting- which was probably the case. I think Angelina Jolie would also totally love this outfit, only hers would have been tighter.

  2. Justaposter says:

    I like it.

  3. squaw says:

    Just absolutely adorable!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. CG says:

    Hate the shirt and the hair.

    • Snowangel says:

      Nicole has naturally curly hair, this is probably what it looks like when she tries to blow dry it herself. But really not too bad at all.

      • CG says:

        Ha ha! Unfortunately, that’s what my hair looks like when I try to blow it out myself too. So I just gave up. 🙂

  5. Dawn says:

    She looks fine and must I say it…age appropriate. So sick of stars who are in their 40’s or 50’s and dress like their in their 20’s.

    • Capella says:

      Well said! Melanie Griffith, Madonna, and Demi Moore should take notes.

      But I do love “the bigger the hair, the closer to God”, honestly, it’s the first time I’ve heard it. And it now makes sense:)

      There is a new show coming up in March about the viciousness of southern-ladies church goers… What’s it called? It looks really good and funny.

    • LadyJane says:

      I agree! The hair do is a bit of a hair-don’t but then again, Nicole’s hair is always hit or miss.

      • original sandy says:

        definitely add Jen aniston, Pamela Anderson to that list of dressing too young for their age.

  6. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Nice! The shirt doubles as a bib-I could really use something like that next time I go to Red Lobster.

  7. Jackie says:

    love the way she dresses. so much better than those tacky outfits cami/demi wear.

  8. Girl says:

    I was hoping the hair could be explained by a few gusts of wind. The outfit is ok. She needs a serious Come to Jesus moment about those lips though.

  9. gg says:

    The hair is not teased. Her hair is very kinky – looks like she straightened it earlier in the week and the kinky roots are starting to kink.

    The shirt is beyond horrific though.

  10. Maritza says:

    It’s something you’d wear to go to work at an office. I like it! Very proper for her age.

  11. Ravensdaughter says:

    She’s shopping! Why not drop the haute couture?

    Looking at her legs in those pants though-so very skinny!

  12. jasperkitty says:

    I like it…and it looks like it also comes with a genuine smile too.

  13. bigchili says:

    I like this look for her – hair, shirt, bag, shoes – just wish she had on a pair of jeans that really fit her instead of those pants.

  14. Julie says:

    Like the pants alot too. Shirt, could take or leave. Looks good on her. Like her reddish hair much more than the blond. I think both her and Lilo look way washed out when they do the too blond thing.

  15. strah says:

    I can’t believe so many people are on board with a see through bib shirt.
    This is hideous.

  16. Jayna says:

    She looks nice considering they’re papping her in bright sunlight.

  17. Agnes says:

    Like the outfit – but not the hair. 🙂

  18. Ruby Red Lips says:

    All I have to say is ‘Oh dear’!!

  19. Me says:

    She needs to eat, she really does.

  20. Cathy says:

    I like the pants, but not the shirt. I’ve seen her hair look better. Looks to frizzy, like she has a problem with overly dry hair.

  21. NeoCleo says:

    Her hair is hideous. You’re joking, right? It’s dull, looks thin and tattered and the color is awful. The outfit by contrast is fab.

  22. Franny says:

    she’s touching her stomach! she must totally be pregnant!

    *eyeroll

  23. Mara says:

    Very beautiful looking woman she is the best.

  24. kimberly says:

    I actually like her better when she wears her hair natural. I love the curls!

    The straightened hair is too generic. oh look another woman with long straight hair, how original.

    It’s like throwing a rock and hitting 15 blondes. There are some things you don’t do.

    You don’t dye your hair blonde, it’s boring, change your brows instead. The second is if you have curls never use a comb or brush, finger comb with condition in the shower and air dry.

  25. NM6804 says:

    She is going to be busy in the acting department, she isn’t a goner in the bizz.

    Her hair looks awful, very brittle and dry.

  26. DI says:

    she’s so skinny she looks like a pez dispenser with that hair

  27. mary simon says:

    She’s a bit old for the baby bibb look.

  28. Lauren says:

    Frightening hair & face. Yikes. Dry, brittle & unhealthy.

  29. Valkyrie says:

    Love the outfit, but she looks better in dark colors. That hair makes her look like a corpse…with a wig.

  30. Kara Ann says:

    I’ve always thought that Nic was beautiful…until the lips, botox stuff.
    But now I feel like, maybe, the slightly less thin people may age better. Yeah, the whole face or body decision as you age seems to be true. I’d choose my face…and get to eat!

  31. DuckyGirl says:

    She is in costume for “The Stepford Wives: the Retirement Years”

  32. taxi says:

    She never looks her best in whites or pastels. Wish she’s never wear “nudes”. Washes her out. The skinny arms aren’t pretty.

    OMG,the hair. It’s been bad for ages but this is nasty, straightened & dyed/bleached/dyed until it looks ready to break. Her natural curly hair is better. She’ll continue to color as she’s now very gray but if she cut off a few inches of the straggly ends she could have a more flattering shape to her ‘do.

  33. Reel Wheel says:

    laura ingles called. she wants her shirt back…

  34. Toshie says:

    Her poor poor hair.

  35. erin says:

    I live in Nashville and we see Nicole and Keith out quite a bit, but I must say this is the first time I’ve seen her with a blowout this big. She isn’t gonna stick out a whole lot here with hair like that, but it looks a bit dated. Personally, I like her natural hair better. If she wants to straighten it, she needs to get a keratin treatment or something.

  36. ZenB!tch says:

    Have you guys seen her natural hair? What’s happening here is she did the blow out herself. Other than the pouf that is what mine looks like sans flat iron and mine is a bit less curly.
