Nicole Kidman wigs out with TWO different hairpieces for unrecognizable new shoot after recent mishap
Nicole Kidman looked nearly unrecognizable as she posed up a storm in two different wigs for her latest Allure interview which was published on Thursday.
The Moulin Rouge actress, 57 - who recently broke her silence on wearing wigs - stunned as she appeared on the cover for the publication and discussed a number of topics, such as grief and aging.
The star wowed in a reddish-orange wig that had bangs which fell down onto her forehead as well as strands that flowed down past her shoulders.
Kidman donned a strapless, black Balenciaga top and high-waisted black leggings that clung to her frame.
In other images snapped by photographer Dan Beleiu for the outlet, she also opted for a shorter red bob with bangs while wearing a purple Robert Cavalli dress.

The ensemble contained a thigh-high slit on the left that offered a glimpse at the sleek purple heels Nicole additionally wore for the photo shoot.
The Australian-born actress, still rocking her long fringe wig, later modeled a printed bandeau top from Schiaparelli and a matching miniskirt.
Kidman slipped into a pair of closed-toed, black pumps and accessorized the look with dangly earrings and a chunky gold bracelet.
It comes not long after the star suffered a wig mishap while making an appearance at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival earlier this month.
While walking the red carpet at glitzy events, she donned a blonde hairpiece - but the wig cap was visible and in another instance, the wig itself was off center.
During an appearance on Channel Seven's Sunrise this week, Nicole opened up about opting for wigs.
'As you know, I love changing my hair,' the Big Little Lies star expressed, before bringing up the short pixie cut she chose for the 2025 Met Gala in NYC this month.
While some fans initially believed that the star was simply unveiling her natural hair, it was soon revealed that it had also been a wig.
'For the Met Gala, everyone was questioning if I had chopped my hair off. But no, I didn't.'
During her interview with Danielle Pergament for her new cover story for Allure for its May 2025 issue, Kidman reflected on getting older.
When questioned if aging has been difficult, the actress candidly replied: 'Yes. I've always been a future person, and suddenly you go, "Oh." It's coming to terms with the idea that you have no control over the future.'
She continued, 'Probably that's to do with losing people very, very suddenly. I have more time behind me than ahead.
'That shift in the ratio becomes a big thing…. You're just always going, "What is all this?" The existential questions. Who are we? Why are we here?"'
The Oscar winner is preparing to celebrate her 58th birthday next month on June 20.
Nicole also had a discussion about coping with grief following the passing of her mother last year in September.
'Losing my mother changed every part of me,' she admitted to the outlet, revealing that they would talk to each other multiple times a week.
The star explained that her mother's death still feels 'so raw' and added she is still 'on the journey of grief, the year of magical thinking.'
The beauty has children of her own and is mom to Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14, whom she shares with husband Keith Urban.
During her past marriage to actor Tom Cruise, the former couple also adopted Bella, 32, and Connor, 30.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last year, Kidman gave insight to her loved ones.
'My husband is a massive part of who I am, and my daughters. My daughters are huge, huge contributors to things in my life, and they open my eyes to things.'
Nicole has been keeping busy and recently starred in the second season of the Hulu thriller series Nine Perfect Strangers, which she also executive produces.
Other cast members in the new season - which began airing this week on Wednesday - include Henry Golding, Annie Murphy, Christine Baranski, Murray Bartlett, Mark Strong and Lena Olin.
The premise of the show is: 'Nine stressed city dwellers visit a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation. The resort's director is a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies,' per IMDB.
During an interview with ABC's On The Red Carpet, the actress reflected on the latest season and her own character Masha.
'It's just such a rich story, which lends itself to many different reinventions, and Masha herself is a reinvention every time,' Kidman expressed.
'I'm in the middle of it all, but I get to shine a light on everybody else who's in it, and this time around, it was this extraordinary cast.'
While season one took place in Los Angeles, the setting for season two has changed to the Austrian Alps.
The second season of Nine Perfect Strangers consists of eight episodes - with the final set to release on Hulu on July 2.

Tragic last post of Race Across The World's Sam Gardiner revealing ‘bucket list' trip before his death aged 24
THE last post of a Race Across The World contestant who tragically died following a car crash showed him enjoying "pure beauty". Sam Gardiner, 24, had been driving on the A34 near Manchester on the night of May 26 when his car suddenly left the road. 5 5 5 It rolled before eventually landing on its side, Greater Manchester Police said. The contestant featured in the BBC show's second series in 2020 alongside his mum Jo. In an emotional tribute, the contestant's dad Andrew said: "We are devastated by the loss of our beloved son Sam in a terrible accident. "Sam left us far too soon, and whilst words will never fully capture the light, joy and energy he brought into our lives, we hold on to the memories that made him so special. "Sam was adored by his family. As a son, brother and nephew, he was loyal, funny and fiercely protective." His last Instagram post showed the contestant enjoying a stunning beach in Australia. Posting from Whithaven Beach, he captioned it: "This place needs to be on people's bucket list, pure beauty." He posed with parrots and showed off the gorgeous coastline in January 2024. Before his death, Sam had been working on the west coast of Scotland as a landscape gardener before making the journey down to Stockport, Greater Manchester. He had travelled south for a family birthday celebration earlier this week, according to his uncle. Speaking on Sam's time on the popular BBC show, Andrew added: "Race Across The World opened his eyes to the wonder of adventure and travel. "He was willing to go wherever the trail might lead and he touched everyone he met on the road. "He found great happiness working as a landscape gardener on the west coast of Scotland. "Sam brought warmth, laughter and a smattering of chaos wherever he went. He leaves behind a huge hole in our hearts. "We will miss him endlessly, but we'll also remember him with smiles, tall tales, and a depth of love that will never fade." The landscape gardener and his mum traversed South America in their appearance on Race Across The World. While they were unable to compete in the final leg, as they ran out of money, Sam described the experience as "life-changing". A spokesperson for the makers of Race Across The World said: "We are all deeply saddened to hear the tragic news about Sam. "Everyone who worked with him and indeed everyone who watched Sam could see just how precious and transformative the trip was for both him and his mum, Jo. "Sam embraced the seven-week trip with an energy, love and a determination that saw the pair enjoy adventures across Mexico to Argentina making audiences fall in love with them and their special bond as a result. "Since filming, both Sam and Jo have been an integral part of the Race Across The World cast family, and on behalf of us all from the BBC, production and the rest of the cast, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to his parents, Andrew and Jo; his brothers, William and Charlie; his step mum Justine; his family and friends." In light of the tragedy, a poignant clip of the landscape gardener and his mum has resurfaced. "How many 19-year-old's can say they've done this and travelled with their mum," said Sam as they looked out into a sunset. Jo replied: "I think just you really. We've got long journeys, you're trying to balance it with enjoying yourself, but also have a budget, there's bound to be stresses. "But I think our relationship is still in tact even if you find me slightly more irritating that you used to," she laughed. "This has been really great fun," Jo added before the pair raced down sand dunes together. 5 5

Afternoon Update: mushroom cook gives evidence in murder trial; rightwing candidate wins Poland's election; and inside the mind of JoJo Siwa
Welcome, readers, to Afternoon Update. Erin Patterson has begun giving evidence in court today, telling the triple murder trial she had begun feeling some distance with her estranged husband's family before the alleged murders. Patterson, 50, has pleaded not guilty three charges of murder and one charge of attempted murder relating to poisoning her four lunch guests – relatives of her estranged husband, Simon Patterson – with a beef wellington served at her house in Leongatha on 29 July 2023. When asked what was not going well in her life in 2023, Patterson said: 'I had felt for some months that my relationship with the wider Patterson family and particularly Don and Gail perhaps had a bit more distance and space between us. We saw each other less. 'Partly it was a consequence of I no longer lived in the same town as Don and Gail,' she said. 'I'd come to have concerns that Simon was not wanting me to be involved too much in the family. Perhaps I wasn't being invited to so many things.' Follow our live blog for further updates.

BREAKING NEWS Cult hero Aussie cricket star Glenn Maxwell announces shock ODI retirement and reveals the exact moment when he knew he had to quit
Glenn Maxwell has been hailed as one of the most influential figures in one-day cricket history after the destructive batsman retired from the 50-over format. Maxwell announced on Monday he had played his last ODI for Australia, instead opting to focus solely on Twenty20 cricket ahead of next year's World Cup in India and Sri Lanka amid concerns over his body. The 36-year-old's exit from the format comes after Steve Smith also walked away following this year's Champions Trophy, part of a national changing of the guard. Maxwell finishes with the second highest strike-rate in ODI history, with his 3149 career runs struck at a rate of 126.70 and average of 33.81. He also has both the fastest hundred and only double century by an Australian, after his back-to-back epics against Netherlands and Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup. Maxwell said he had been tempted to play on until Australia's title defence in 2027, but felt his body could no longer handle 50 overs in the field during the Champions Trophy. 'I started to think if I don't have the perfect conditions in 50-over cricket, my body probably struggles to get through,' Maxwell said in an extended interview on the Final Word Podcast. 'I realised it was probably a bit far-fetched to to keep I suppose reaching for that next series and try to hold on. 'In reality, I think I'd be doing a disservice to the team ... more hoping rather than expecting to get through. 'I don't think that would be fair to anyone.' Maxwell broke onto the scene when he was picked for an ODI against Pakistan in Sharjah in 2012 as a batting allrounder. He almost immediately followed the line of Michael Bevan and Mike Hussey as great middle-order talents, albeit with more flair and punch. The right-hander played a prominent role in Australia's 2015 success on home soil, belting 102 from 53 balls against Sri Lanka in a match at the SCG. He was dropped from the team a year later, but was back for the 2019 World Cup and then had his crowning moment four years later in India. With Australia's spot in the tournament in peril, Maxwell famously blasted an unbeaten 201 from 128 balls while batting on one leg to take Australia from 7-91 to a successful chase of 292 against Afghanistan. 'I'm extremely fortunate that I was able to have my moment,' Maxwell said. 'Almost everything that you've worked hard for, the peak of your powers, being able to put it in front of the world to see. 'It's almost like saying this is the best of me, you can either take it or leave it, but this is all I've got.' Maxwell would hit the winning runs in the final against India, after also getting the key wicket of Rohit Sharma with the ball. 'Congratulations to Glenn on what has been one of the most exciting and influential one-day international careers in the format's history,' Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg said. 'Glenn's ballistic batting has lit up the cricket world and been one of the cornerstones of Australia's continued success in the 50 over game, including his heroic role in the 2023 World Cup triumph.'
