Here are some photos of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards in LA Friday night. Nicole wore this black-and-white Collette Dinnigan dress which… I like? I think? You know how I feel about lace and stuff, but I think this black lace effect was done beautifully, and Nicole definitely does not look like she’s wearing a white tablecloth with a black lace overlay. Well… the belt helps. I’m a little disappointed that Nicole didn’t do a big bouffant, though. I was one of the few that loved her giant, Southern-style, teased-up look the other day, and seeing her on another red carpet with her hair down (save for one strand pulled back with a tiny clip!) is kind of boring.
I have a quick question – does anyone else think Nicole dresses too “girlie” for her age, or is that not a thing? Like, she’s not Zooey Deschanel, a 30-something woman who dresses like a 6-year-old on a sugar high. And it’s not like Nicole is dressing “too young” in the sense that her clothes are too revealing or too “young startlet”. But there’s something that I find too “precious” about Nicole’s red carpet style over the past year. Her style used to be so much more sophisticated and avant-garde, but now it’s just little lace dresses and frills and stuff. I’m guessing it only bugs me.
As for Keith – STOP FLAT-IRONING YOUR HAIR. Enough. You have the same hair as Cojo.
Shall we even discuss Nicole’s lips? There are a few photos where it seems like her bottom lip is a giant, immovable slug. I’m reminded of that photo Michael K just used the other day – go look at Nicole’s vintage, original lips, and then come back and look at her lips in these photos. Dear God.

Her style seems like a modern Miss Havisham to me, lots of lace and silks and knits…but I kinda like that she isn’t like all the other stars, I guess she wears what she likes. If I had to pick though, wish she would go back to the red hair/face/dramatic well-structured gowns of the Moulin Rouge times, she was absolutely gorgeous in that film/award season.

What did this woman do to herself? In ten short years she’s gone from the breathtakingly beautiful Aussie who looked gorg in Moulin Rouge to Botox Barbie Stepford Wife.

^ Jep this. You can say so much about her really but the pictures speak for themselves. Satine vs. Stepford Wife? Please…Still love her but her battle against aging (which she is losing) is really sad.

Too much botox. Her dress is fine but her face looks frozen and odd(as it usually has for the past few years).

Yes! She was actually pretty sexy as Satine. I think it all started when she went blond.
She was SO sophisticated as a red head and mature for her age and regal looking. Now as a blond she’s just a dime a dozen at award shows and she DOES dress too girly.
It’s almost like a back to Marylin kind of thing. Trying to look womanly yet with a touch of innocence and girly and on some women it works. On Nicole it looks ridiculous.
She looks no different from when she was in The Stepford Wives.
Stop dying your hair! Go back to red and regal looking. There’s enough blonds in Hollywood and at the country shows. The Botox wouldn’t look so bad if she were red again. And not the watered down red she’s been over the past few years here and there but back to the Satine flame red that looks natural.
Look at Marcia Cross. Gorgeous as a natural red head and she’s had some Botox but the hair distracts from that.

Ilove Nicole Kidman! But, I agree, her style has become too girlie; not sure why she changed but I don’t care for it. I used to look forward to seeing her red carpet looks, but not so much lately.
She needed to do something with her lips- they were too thin (actually nonexistent!) before. Even tho they can look fake sometimes, they still look better than before!

That dress is horrible especially the “veil sleeves”. Plus, it’s doing nothing for her midsection.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I like the dress but something is keeping me from loving it. Is Keith getting shorter or is Nicole wearing higher than usual heals? He looks tiny. Since she’s married to a country star and living in Nashville Nicole may feel she doesn’t have to be as glamorous as when she was married to Tom.

saints alive, her face looks ‘human’ in that close up!
i think if she hadn’t started with her face, and especially that slug in her lips, she’d look like her doppleganger sister who is so pretty, wrinkles, thin lips and all.

That’s what I thought but figured it had to be the lighting because she always rocks the porcelain skin. Look how it slowly graduates up the body, too, so by the time you get to get face, she’s alabaster again. Aside from the snark, girl does have some amazing skin.

Nicole just looks boring all the time lately..from head to toe boring, and I used to think she was gorgeous (please go back to the red hair,nicole) she is totally washed out all the time. Am I the only one that thinks Keith Urban is fugly! Not only that, the above picture, just makes me want to slap the shit out of him and I don’t even know why!

The eyebrows are what need fixing. They’re so dark and thick that they look slightly mannish. If she got some bangs and thinned the brows out, she’d look great. I loved her hair when she had bangs a few years back.
I also have a wide forehead and if I have no bangs, it’s just not flattering.

ITA, she could open her eyes up quite a bit with some shaping. It’s almost like she’s done the exact opposite of what she should be doing with her brows. As an owner of a five head myself, I’ve got one word for Nicole: BANGS.

I was googling some pics of her when she had bangs just now and she’s one of the few women who I think are much improved by bangs.

I think Nicole is going for a Kate Spade meets Mad Men Look, but it’s an epic fail. She can wear color and more dramatic pieces. I wish she would go back to her natural red. Her face doesn’t look so bad here. Remember that green embroidered kimono thing she work back in the day? I miss her taking chances like that.

I don’t know why it’s Nicole who always gets picked on for looking botoxy. Sure she has it, but there are celebs 15 years younger than Nic out there who look more pumped full of botox and fillers than her. They pretty much all do it. I do prefer her with thin lips though and I wish she’d go back to them. At least she resists the urge to go Katie Price-esque sized.

As a botox user who made the mistake thinking more = better – a big smile is hard / impossible to do when you are over injected!
Her skin is fabu. looks like almost everyone has gained some winter weight this year.. Ive been seeing a lot of celebs lately who have gained weight — not that shes fat but she looks not as thin as she used to be and I think it looks good.
Her body and face look better with a tad more weight on.

She was so-o-o pretty in that. Would not know this is the same woman. The newly fat lower lip emphasizes the upper exposed gum line she’s always had.
Her forehead looks unnaturally broad in these pics. Just a bad hairdo? Is her hairline receding from many years of chemical straightening & coloring?

When she smiles she shows a lot of gum. Maybe that is why she plumps up her lips so much. She’s tryng to hide the excessive gum area. She is so processed. It is not a good look. Major filler and tox. She grosses me out.

I’ve always thought Keith was the type to run screaming from spiders. Also, what would you call the color of her hair? Frosted mango? Silvery peach? Powdered orange sherbet? Whatever it is, it aint good. Why do readheads try to deny their roots (pun intended)?

Wow, i love love that dress. Her lips are fine now. Her forehead is too high for that style. Her hair should have had long bangs swept over to the side. Ilike her hair a liitle deeper red, though. I adore Keith Urban. I even bought his Get Closer album he put out last year about his love for Nicole. I own very little country, but made an exception for him. That album makes me love him more. Adorable couple who deserved to find love.

When stars keep doing the same treatments as one another, they end up looking like each other. It’s like the features that made her look like “nicole kidman” are gone or blurred, and now I can barely tell her face from Brandi Glanville, seriously.

Agree – they all end up with this generically pretty look, but lose the unique pieces that made them notable in the first place. Also, never ever a good idea to mess with your lips – always looks fake. Too bad, because she was really quite stunning in her prime.

It’s pathetic how certain celebrities feel they have to look in order to allegedly shave years off their appearance. I’m convinced Keith thinks he looks so “hot” w/that flat-ironed hair, & he’s worn it that way so long I think he’s “unconvinced” his look would be acceptable any other way….sad.
As far as Nicole….yes…as @Boots above says…”a trainwreck.” It’s downright pititful what she’s done to her face these past years. Every time she comes out for a photo-call, I call it “Tox Evolution.” Color me convinced that she’s addicted to botox.

I think she looks great! So what if she ‘toxes? if she didn’t, people would be snarking on how old she looks. you can’t look old, but you can’t botox? c’mon people, make up your mind. do you want your celebrities naturally aging or do you want them to look forever hot? seems like they’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t. glad i’m not a star. if it was cam on here, people’d be saying how old she looked, that was until she started tweaking herself.now it’s all she got this done, she got that done. whadda ya expect? they’re being ragged on all the time by people posting how old they look. like i said, can’t win for losing.

I think she’s actually a little less ‘toxy because her eyebrows are low. When she’s super-toxed here eyebrows get high and oddly stretched. In any case, I think it’s sad that she messed with her natural beauty so much.
As for the dress, I love it. But Rachel McAdams wore it recently, and wore it much better than Nic. What’s with the Aniston shoes?! Rachel was much more sophisticated:

I think she wears things like this tablecloth with lace because she’s been influenced by having two little girls. When she was sophisticated and very well-dressed, she wasn’t “as married” as she is now and tried harder to look smashing. Nashville sophistication doesn’t go nearly so far as that of Hollywood. I know…I live there.

3. She is out of shape – thin but no muscle tone. (Satine had muscle tone.
4. As a curly girl her hair fascinates me. I want to hire her hair dresser and have him or her move in with me.

I just CAN NOT get over how freakish Nicole’s face looks. How can she look in the mirror and like what she sees?!?! I feel like if she just skipped one maintenance session of botox and heard wonderful compliments of how beautiful her face could be without it, she’d stop. Instead she prolly hears all the negative things about her face and assumes she needs more ‘tox in her forehead. Its a viscous cycle!

I know I’m in the minority, but I think she’s one of the most beautiful actresses, especially for her age group. She always chooses really beautiful and interesting dresses. I think has far fewer fashion missteps that most of her peers. I get the feeling they really do love each other and she’s finally happy in her life. I hope so anyway, she deserves it after the GMD and that freak show.

I like the dress for the most part. Really the only thing I don’t like is that the lace on the skirt has a darker in-between fabric, the there is just this line where it goes light all of a sudden for the top. It just doesn’t look good there.
Her lips…honestly since they’ve settled, to me, they don’t look that different. She is wearing lipstick and her bottom lip looks a bit fuller, but overall they are not that different to me. Her forehead, though. Now that is different. But for her age, I still think she looks great, injections aside.

Everyone always gets so stuck on Satine and the red hair with her. But that was more than ten years ago. Even if she dyed her hair back and stopped with the botox, she would not look the way she did then.
Aging sucks, especially for beautiful women. (Not that I would know about the last part.) There’s no win–if they don’t get botox and fillers, people talk about how haggard and rough they look. If they do get them, people slam them for that too.
