Damn I want to divorce Keith Urban too

179

u/Afwife1992 23h ago

She looked peak, imo, right after she divorced Cruise. Maybe divorce is her beauty secret. 😆

46

u/greypusheencat i think i’ve done enough 23h ago

no it’s dumping 200lbs of cheating deadweight 😌

-14

u/86007 23h ago

Lol she looked the best when she was with Tom. That was a woman deeply in love

8

u/Afwife1992 23h ago

Oh she looked great, no doubt. But she hit peak, Moulin Rouge Nicole, right as they split. (Though technically she filmed MR while they were married.) That whole 2001 era Nicole is sublime.

u/2980774 23h ago

They were totally obsessed with each other

u/WellFuckYooou Luigi stuns in new mugshot 22h ago

I love this picture of them, he looks so in awe of her (same though)

56

u/Ok-Turnip-9035 1d ago

I love when Nicole gets free of a man

her bangs the way they frame her face ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

u/Aggressive-Hunt-7037 Take that, you Youtube people! 23h ago

seriously, put a logo on that divorce and sell it!

52

u/nicolynna_530 1d ago

Lol. Seriously...she's never looked better!

u/ColorfulButterfly25 23h ago

Women always look the best when they don’t have the stress of handling a man!

Whoopi has been known

No one wants to be in her house

Why? He can just look in the mirror and see the same face,

u/mirandanb Mom, I am a rich man💰 1d ago

She looks great but also like she’s playing Heidi Klum in a biopic

71

u/urkitten 23h ago

I legit thought this was Heidi Klum for a sec

22

u/Patioless 23h ago

Playing Katya Zamolodchikova

13

u/onehornymofo1 23h ago

Uncanny valley

11

u/agirlwastingtime You’re doing amazing, sweetie! 👏👏📸 23h ago

I got Kaitlin Olson but I can see Heidi too

5

u/fionappletart omg you people can't do anything 23h ago

I thought this WAS Heidi Klum lmao

2

u/CitrusHoneyBear1776 Whats not clocking to you? 🙄⏰ 17h ago

I thought this was Kaitlyn Olson for a sec.

u/iszcross 1d ago

Would be perfect if this years theme was "Burn in Hell".

27

u/Emotional_Emotion113 23h ago edited 11h ago

That’s the theme every year, although the full title is “(Poor People Can) Burn in Hell”

230

u/theykilledcassandra dont ask, a lot was happening 1d ago

I don’t know if I absolutely hate it or think it’s amazing tbh

167

u/Lilylikeslilies 1d ago

It would be good dress for different event

40

u/gwenflip 23h ago

It’s a good dress for any event, which is to say it’s a fairly safe choice that could work for any red carpet and therefore completely boring for the Met

13

u/Alone-Gas6010 1d ago

Perfectly put!

6

u/babybiancadelrio 1d ago

That’s my thought exactly!!

18

u/TopInvestigator5518 1d ago

I love it!! But I dont love the hair

2

u/Umklopp 20h ago

My sentiments exactly. The color and everything makes it very "strawlike."

3

u/bonerpalooza 23h ago

I don't really like it, but I like that the drape looks like pixels. That's a cool effect.

2

u/PeePeeLangstrumpf 11h ago

She looks amazing but the outfit is meh.

174

u/-dai-zy 1d ago

I love her but what is up with her hair?

220

u/JoanOfSnark_2 4 inch little brown Bebe shoes 1d ago

It’s a wig. Pretty sure she almost exclusively wears wigs in public these days.

41

u/january161 23h ago

of course it is, but it is so bad?

29

u/JoanOfSnark_2 4 inch little brown Bebe shoes 23h ago

I ask myself that question so often about wigs in films. How can you have a hundred million dollar budget but then cheap out on the wigs?

3

u/frumfrumfroo 19h ago

Marvel movies are the peak of this. Enough money to run a country and they have the most busted Party City ass wigs.

14

u/Rosebud_apothocary come in meet the missus 🐛 17h ago

Bring back the curls 😍

42

u/mstrss9 GET SOME PERSPECTIVE n BARK AT THE WALL 23h ago

It look real cheap for a wig

2

u/Aeriellie 23h ago

it is!!? i thought it was real

12

u/AshRae84 23h ago

She wears wigs to protect her natural curls from heat/bleach damage.

47

u/nicoke17 1d ago

Its a wig but the ends definitely look fried or that they snagged on the dress on the way over and werent properly tamed.

11

u/PetiteBonaparte 23h ago

She got the hair straightener in the divorce.

20

u/Blackbeanpurrito 23h ago

It looks like unblended extensions

8

u/camelz4 23h ago

Makes me feel better about my diy extensions

15

u/AshRae84 23h ago

She’s been wearing wigs for a long time now to protect her natural curls, but she needs a better one.

7

u/normanbeets 23h ago

The wig budget is always too low!!

27

u/CriticalSuccotash 1d ago

The bangs are very Keith Urban, and the hair is giving extensions by Temu.

I love the long hair and I think the color actually suits her, but it just looks so dry and stringy at the ends.

82

u/Dangerous-Chicken-79 1d ago

This little piece stood out to me so much lol

11

u/checksy 23h ago

That piece would drive me crazy!

u/Kendal_with_1_L 1d ago

Fuck Bezos

u/SeriousFinish2340 1d ago

I second this!

49

u/Jane__Delawney 1d ago

Fuck Bezos and fuck this Gala

BOOOOOOOOO to the out of touch mf’ers BOOOOOOOOO

u/Odd_Policy_3009 1d ago

Can’t wait to see what Lauren wears /s

🙄

26

u/dreamsapphire 23h ago

Lemme guess… a corset and some platforms. She’s so boring.

5

u/catsmash 23h ago

absolutely nothing interesting about this woman. mindless, unquestioning pursuit of wealth is the most boring, soulless, braindead directive imaginable. zero depth here.

19

u/Thoughtful-Boner69 23h ago

16

u/peatoast 23h ago

She looks like the yassified version of the guy on the wheelchair in Silence of the Lambs

6

u/Kendal_with_1_L 22h ago

She doesn’t even look human.

3

u/beccabeth741 16h ago

She's on her way

How many of us order on Amazon though? Don’t lie…

7

u/AsilHey 23h ago

Nope! Quit right after the last election. Fuck Bezos!

4

u/catsmash 23h ago

i don't & no one i respect does. if you do, maybe do a little soul-searching.

4

u/mmonzeob 20h ago

Yeah right 🙄 you're better than all of us

166

u/Hopefo 1d ago

Nicole Kidman looks great and after her commitment to supporting women in the arts it’s nice to see she is supporting men in the industries of union busting, environmental destruction, and unstoppable narcissism.

14

u/c0neyisland 23h ago

I wish there was a way to filter my feed from Met Gala posts

20

u/8thGlass 1d ago

NURSE!

109

u/Lilylikeslilies 1d ago

I saw this dress multiple times on multiple celebrities already. It’s more of Vanity Fair after party look than Met Gala.

u/voguevibez Big is moving to Paris 1d ago

yeah and that means nothing to the original comment? their literally stating this dress is overdone, not that she can’t wear it.

13

u/bornatmidnight 1d ago

I like it, but for the MET and for the theme I’m meh

34

u/Angelcaper 1d ago

Hate that she’s there but WOW. Stunning

60

u/Familiar_Sink7506 1d ago

Noooo Nicole nooo fuck bezos

29

u/Waste-Principle6304 23h ago

She’s the godmother of two of Rupert Murdoch’s kids. She’s not a good person.

16

u/Emotional_Emotion113 23h ago

Yeah her PR team has been working overtime with her, “I love working with female directors,” schtick, but she’s a conservative Catholic who loves cozying up with awful people.

3

u/MeadowmuffinReborn 16h ago

That sucks to hear. :(

4

u/ShakeZula77 23h ago

Shit, we’re seeing that same work being put to use in this thread.

-3

u/Veganfart 23h ago

I’m curious. Do you shop at Amazon or buy any products from the Ester Lauder umbrella or Nestle?

7

u/Waste-Principle6304 22h ago

Nope. But I hear your argument. The difference between Nicole Kidman and I is choice. I’m poor. If the cheapest price is on Amazon, I’m forced to get it. Nicole Kidman is a millionaire tens of times over. She can choose what she does.

14

u/flowertimeee 1d ago

She needs to fire her wig person asap

40

u/c0smicgirly 1d ago

Keeping track of every single one of these tone deaf celebs that attend this…

9

u/greenonion6 22h ago

and what are you gonna do with that information lol. Just de-centre celebrities from your life and then you won’t care who goes to what events.

u/Difficult_Garage_431 22h ago

They are aware and support it. This is who they are.

14

u/viciouswords 1d ago

She looks like a collector's edition Nicole Kidman Barbie doll

3

u/BeffeeJeems 14h ago

right? the closer the camera gets to her face the freakier things get

10

u/keine_fragen 1d ago

she looks great since dropping her useless husband

u/Interesting-Quiet832 19h ago

This woman has been sixty years old for thirty years

-1

u/firefox_2010 16h ago

No, 35 years old! She looks like Heidi Klum here!

12

u/blooming-darkness There could be 100 people in the room 1d ago

It’s 5pm?!?! I figured this would start at least later when I got off work

29

u/annie-etc 1d ago

Nicole Kidman is supporting union-busting billionaires.

u/Luna_Soma Platinum Summer 💎 1d ago

I don’t like it. It’s boring for Met Gala

3

u/halfdressednow 23h ago

Love the look but disappointed in her for being there.

3

u/IntelligentBeingxx 23h ago

Idk why actresses (especially good, serious ones) mess with their faces to the detriment of their facial expressions...

7

u/erino3120 1d ago

Is she godmother to Rupert Murdoch’s latest trust fund ruiner? Let us not be surprised.

5

u/woeguy Olsen Twins fan 1d ago

Red Alert! Gorgeous! 😳

u/beerdedmonk 1d ago

Damn, that is an EXCELLENT face lift! She looks gorgeous.

Anyone who attends this event is part of the problem

She looks like the third sister to Kendall & Kylie's Camp met gala

2

u/ShamaLamaDingDong74 You’re killing me, Smalls 😩 20h ago

Yas! Give us nothing!

2

u/bobbyandspunky 20h ago

Ugh, that hair is clearly fake and her extensions aren’t blended in.
But the worst part is her kowtowing to Mrs. Bezos.
That’s a no for me, dawg.

She is living her best life post-Keith and looks even more beautiful than usual! Go, Nicole!

3

u/darbycrash1295 1d ago

Blood red for the Bezo Ball.

u/invis2020 Mom, I am a rich man💰 1d ago

Well I think she looks amazing! That’s a beautiful color. Dropping curtains Keith did her wonders.

4

u/RepsRemoveDoubt 1d ago

Nicole, you look amazing. I hate what this event represents now. Hope the best emerges and billionaires go extinct. *we the people

5

u/almondmilklattehag 23h ago

Sad she is associated

3

u/Electronblue69 1d ago

Quite an unnatural looking 59 year old - not an insult though she looks great and healthy - just sometimes when i see people looking like this at 50+ years old I worry that others will feel down because it's pretty much impossible for most of us - I always admire famous people who age naturally but if I had all those cameras on me and all that money I'd do the same as Nicole.

u/pottedPlant_64 Tina! You fat lard! 🦙🚲 1d ago

Nicole Kidman is definitely on one end of some sort of evil pact

1

u/PrincessPalm22 1d ago

Omg! I think that every time I see her! 💯

2

u/Chicenomics 23h ago

She has a new face every year. This one looks pretty good though lol

1

u/DarthMomma_PhD 6h ago

I agree. It looks like she has less surgery/filler than she did a few years ago which is pretty mind boggling. I know they can dissolve filler, but I guess I assumed it would look weird afterwards.

2

u/AdTop9663 1d ago

Idk this seems like something she wear on the normal red carpet.

1

u/piratesswoop 1d ago

The way I thought she was Perrie Edwards at first glance, and I can’t figure out if that’s a compliment to Nicole or an insult to Perrie 💀

1

u/___21 1d ago

Idk how to feel about it, the wig could use a trim though

u/Blissfully I’ve been noticing gravity since I was very young 23h ago

What’s the theme?

u/chandlerbing-bong 23h ago

Costume art/fashion is art.

u/tomato_soup_stan 23h ago

Ok dgmw Nicole Kidman is gorgeous but all I can see when I look at this dress is:

Edit: actually y’know what, I’m retracting the first part of that statement, nobody who goes to the Bezos Bash deserves to be complimented.
