Nicole Kidman reveals what her hair REALLY looks like as she shows off natural locks after suffering fail with her wig during the Cannes Film Festival
Nicole Kidman revealed what her natural hair really looks like after she suffered a hair fail at the 2025 Kering Women in Motion Award on Sunday.
The actress, 57, first shared snaps of herself going for a dip on the Mediterranean and kept her locks under a hat as she arrived to the coast.
The film star wore a white sundress and a matching hat as she soaked up the sun during her stay in the French Riviera.
In another snap, Nicole showed off her real hair as she enjoyed lunch with The Last Of Us star Pedro Pascal.
The Big Little Lies star displayed her naturally curly locks after she sported a hair piece while attending the 2025 Kering Women In Motion Awards and Cannes Film Festival Presidential Dinner on Sunday.
The Nine Perfect Strangers star wore the weave to add volume to her strawberry blonde locks and help give her a more youthful look.
However, the mesh wig cap was visible as Nicole posed for photos on the red carpet despite her real hair being weaved into it.
Hollywood stars often wear wigs and hair extensions to achieve a more youthful appearance as hair thins and loses volume with age.
Nicole also showed off her smooth visage at the event with a natural makeup palette.
The actress, who accepted the 2025 Kering Women in Motion Award, showed off her sexy yet conservative red dress as she posed for the cameras at the exclusive event.
Established a decade ago, the honour is given to women who have made a groundbreaking impact on the big screen.
As she accepted the honour, Nicole said she would continue to use her platform to fight for continued gender equality in the film industry.
She said: 'I'm just an advocate and want to continue to keep moving forward with that.'
Previous winners of the Women in Motion Award include Susan Sarandon and Salma Hayek.
Nicole added: 'I am proud to join the list of extraordinary women who've received this honour before me - artists and trailblazers I deeply admire.
'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.'
The hair gaffe was Nicole's second mishap of the day after her hair piece was seen off-centre to her natural scalp line when she sported an all-black ensemble to give her talk for the award.
This consisted of a tightly-fitted leather jacket and black denims that were styled with a large belt.
The actress explained that as part of her commitment to helping women in the industry, she vowed in 2017 to work with a female director every 18 months.
Since then, she revealed, she has worked with 27 women on several projects, including those yet to be released.
'Part of it is protecting and surrounding the women with almost like a force field of protection and support,' she said.
Nicole's habit of wearing wigs in Hollywood movies has earned her a cult following over the years.
The Hollywood star has rarely showcased her natural hair in films since the early days of her career, and almost exclusively wears wigs for all of her movie roles.
An Aussie stylist has since weighed in on her most radical red carpet look at the 2025 Met Gala, where she debuted an edgy new haircut.
Bixie Colour hairstylist Andrew Newport believes her new short style could be a mix of her real hair and extensions.
'This could be Nicole's real hair with the length at the back disguised under some artfully placed, clipped or glued in hair pieces,' he said.
'This look, which appears to have been achieved by hair magic, could have been created by taking the hair at the back of the head and braiding tightly to the scalp. Nicole's real hair is featured at the front fringe, plus the hair extensions at the nape would be dressed over the disguised hair.
'This would take a bit of work and considerable time but is 100% achievable.'

An Olympics-style operation and the major difference between UK and US coverage: INSIDE TENNIS goes behind the scenes with TNT Sports at the French Open
It is towards the end of my peek behind the curtain when we duck into a bunker-type room, completely dark other than thousands of dials, switches and buttons - and the light coming from an enormous wall of screens. Bank on bank of monitors showing courts, crowds, backstage shots and interviews. A crew member remarks: 'That's what covering 18 courts, in 19 languages, in 49 countries looks like.' Mail Sport has gone behind the scenes on the gargantuan broadcasting operation that is TNT Sport at the French Open 2025.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews The Jackal Speaks: From his jail cell, terrorist Carlos the Jackal tells of his plan to nuke France
The Jackal Speaks (BBC4) As romantic gestures go, none could be more dramatic. When Carlos the Jackal's girlfriend, terrorist Magdalena Kopp, was jailed, he threatened to blow up nuclear power stations until she was released. To convince the French authorities this was no hoax, he sent a letter signed with his own fingerprint. At the time, in 1982, he was the world's most wanted man, with a rocket attack at Orly Airport in Paris among his long tally of crimes. At first, the French refused to negotiate, even after Carlos bombed a train and a newspaper office. But when they realised that his private terror network — funded by huge paydays from Libya's Colonel Gaddafi and other Arab dictators — really could destroy an atomic reactor, they caved in. Kopp, a former member of the Baader-Meinhof gang, was freed. Shortly after that, she married Carlos in Lebanon. 'I could have killed 100,000 people, irradiated half the country,' he boasted, in The Jackal Speaks. It's the sort of fantastical coup that Eddie Redmayne, as an international hitman in Sky Atlantic's thriller The Day Of The Jackal, might pull off. This documentary, produced by an Israeli company, set out to debunk the myths around the Jackal, now 75 and a prisoner in a French jail for the past 30 years. It made much of his vanity, his alcoholism and his slow slide into irrelevance as the fad for Communist revolutions died out. But it forgot that Carlos — whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez — is still a global hero and a revered freedom fighter . . . in his own mind. This 90-minute film was based around phone interviews taped with the assassin from his cell in solitary confinement. Experts including Carlos's biographer Dr Daniela Richterova and his former controller in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Bassam Abu Sharif, gave their analysis of his personality: narcissistic, reckless, pleasure-loving, needy for praise and attention. The problem is, if you allow a man like that to tell his own life story, he will talk about all the wrong bits. Carlos isn't interested in discussing how he planned his kills: the logistics seem to bore him. And he certainly doesn't care about the dozens of people he killed — their lives are meaningless to him. Instead, there was a lot of boasting: 'I was the best shot, I shot better than anybody else.' And he spent a long time reminiscing about his parents and his childhood in Caracas, Venezuela. It was half an hour before we heard about the first assassination attempt, when he walked into a house in St John's Wood, London, and shot the chairman of M&S, Joseph Sieff, in the face. Incredibly, Sieff — who was also vice president of the British Zionist Federation, survived. The bullet was deflected by his teeth. 'Good advert for the Milk Marketing Board,' he joked. Now there's a line that belongs in a thriller.

Chelsea in shock transfer talks with AC Milan keeper Mike Maignan whose stats shows up Robert Sanchez
CHELSEA are in talks with AC Milan to sign goalkeeper Mike Maignan. The France star, 29, has only a year left on his contract in Italy, with both parties yet to agree on fresh terms. 1 And the Blues have been alerted by Maignan's failure to pen an extension at the San Siro, where AC Milan failed to qualify for Europe. Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca believes the £34million-rated stopper is an ideal option for his possession-based attack. The Stamford Bridge outfit already have five keepers on their books — Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen, Djordje Petrovic, Mike Penders and Kepa Arrizabalaga. But Maignan's potential arrival would see him challenge for the No 1 jersey in another shake-up to the goalkeeping department. Chelsea fans have been calling for a new No 1, with both Sanchez and Jorgensen failing to prove they should be the main man between the sticks. French Guiana-born Maignan helped Lille to the French title in 2021. He won Serie A with Milan a year later. Maignan has amassed a total of 163 appearances for the Italian club and made four errors leading to goals last season, comparing to Sanchez's five. But AC Milan could cash in now amid fears he could leave the club on a free transfer in 2026. Maignan has played 30 times for France and was named in the Euro 2024 team of the tournament. Jadon Sancho shares his Chelsea highlights reel as he says goodbye to fans ahead of Man Utd return Maresca's Chelsea are set to make Liam Delap their first summer signing. The Blues will pay his £30million release clause at relegated Ipswich, who he joined last summer from Manchester City. Chelsea will also welcome youngsters Estevao Willian, Kendry Paez and Dario Essugo to the club. One player leaving the club is Jadon Sancho. Chelsea paid Manchester United £5m NOT to sign him on a permanent basis. And the winger, 25, posted on Instagram: 'Grateful for the experience. Big love to everyone at Chelsea who made me feel at home — teammates, staff and the fans. 'Wishing the club all the best moving forward. Truly grateful. Thank you Blues.'
