Nicole Kidman experienced an unexpected beauty blunder involving her wig during the prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2025. While attending the 2025 Kering Women In Motion Awards, the Hollywood icon suffered a visible wig malfunction that quickly became a talking point on the red carpet.
What happened to Nicole Kidman’s wig?
Known for her impeccable style and ever-evolving hairstyles, Nicole Kidman graced the Cannes event in a striking strawberry blonde lace-front wig. However, the hairpiece drew more attention than anticipated and not for the right reasons.
Sharp-eyed fans noticed a mismatch between her natural hair and the wig, as strands of her real hair peeked out, revealing a distinct difference in color. Additionally, the lace front could clearly be seen, undermining the illusion of naturalness.
Photos from the event showed that the wig had been pinned along her hairline but failed to fully conceal her natural hair underneath. The contrast between the hues, with her natural color darker than the wig, left little doubt that it was a hairpiece. For Nicole Kidman, who is frequently seen wearing wigs both on screen and in public appearances, this moment was an unfortunate slip in an otherwise polished reputation.
Despite the minor beauty hiccup, the Babygirl star accepted her Kering Women In Motion Award. “I am proud to join the list of extraordinary women who’ve received this honor before me,” she said during her speech. “The Cannes Film Festival has been a part of my life for over 30 years, and I am thrilled to add this incredible recognition to the many memories I’ve made here.”
She also highlighted her ongoing commitment to working with women filmmakers, remarking she has collaborated with 27 female directors since her 2017 pledge to support women in film. “Part of it is protecting and surrounding the women with almost like a force field of protection and support,” Kidman shared (via Parade).
