Nicole Kidman loves changing her hair

Perth Now21-05-2025

Nicole Kidman updated her look by wearing a wig to the Met Gala.
The 57-year-old Hollywood superstar has revealed she loves "changing" her hair after shocking fans by sporting a short cropped style to attend the glitzy fashion event in New York earlier this month - admitting she spent the whole night fielding questions about her hair cut after debuting the wig on the red carpet.
During an appearance on Australian TV show 'Sunrise', Nicole explained: "As you know, I love changing my hair. So the Met Gala ... everyone's like: 'Did you chop your hair off?' I'm like: 'No, I did not'."
The event's theme was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style and Nicole's hair stylist Adir Abergel revealed the cut was a nod to "Dandyism".
In a post on Instagram, Adir explained: "Met Gala 2025: The Superfine tailored short cut. The inspiration was a tailored short cut that brought out the essence of Dandyism on Nicole Kidman.
"I wanted to celebrate this years theme by honoring the Dandies and their individuality, elegance, and confidence - where every detail is tailored to that unique person."
Nicole used to sport long curly hair, but she previously revealed she lost her "ringlets" because she "tortured them to death" by straightening her hair so much.
She told Who magazine: "I really wanted to have that suntanned skin and long blonde hair. I wanted to conform and be the Aussie beach girl. And I was never going to be that ...
"I wish I had my curls back. I tortured them to death. I always say, 'Don't ruin the ringlets!'"
She later added to the The Sunday Morning Herald: "Do I wish that I hadn't screwed up my hair by straightening it all the time? Sure."
Nicole also admitted she wishes she'd been "more careful" with sun cream in her younger years after previously dealing with skin cancer.
She added to the publication: "I've had skin cancer; do I wish I'd been more careful with the sun? Yes, to all those things.
"But am I grateful to be around? Oh, yeah. And am I willing to share my knowledge, what I've learnt along the way? Absolutely."

What happens when you go toe-to-toe with a 'monster'

Good luck going toe-to-toe with a "monster". Jai Opetaia's most recent victim has offered a chilling warning to the Australian's Italian title challenger as he prepares for his own ring return. David Nyika, New Zealand's former Olympic silver medallist and flag bearer, was humbled in a furious Gold Coast slugfest that left him bloodied and sprawled on the canvas in January. The 29-year-old (10-1) will return to the ring against countryman Nik Charalampous (23-6-2) on the Paul Gallen-Sonny Bill Williams card in Sydney on July 16. In a cautious return from concussion, Nyika is yet to complete heavy sparring but is confident and reflective after those ferocious four rounds with the IBF and The Ring cruiserweight champion. "I had my fingers crossed for rounds six, seven, eight ... predicting a later stoppage because I knew he was going to be an absolute monster for four to six rounds," Nyika told AAP. "I was just trying to be sensible, but not doing a great job of it. "The old saying, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face ... but for me, I got buzzed right off the bell by a head clash. "He's the man and the guy to beat and nothing changes - I still want to knock his head off the block. "It was good to get a full re-set, but I'm back now, A-OK and putting a target on July 16." Opetaia (27-0) faces the unbeaten Claudio Squeo (17-0) on the Gold Coast on Sunday. He hopes a blockbuster unification clash with Gilberto Ramirez in Las Vegas later this year is next. The Australian is wary, though, not expecting Squeo to heed Nyika's warning despite only two of Opetaia's last eight fights going beyond six rounds. "He's dangerous; there's no mystery to what this guy's going to try to do," Opetaia said. "(He will) walk forward and try to take my head off. "He's been icing people, knocking them out cold. His game plan will be to go forward and throw bombs, because he obviously can't box with me. "It's serious - for a world title - so in no way am I taking it lightly." The pair faced off for the first time on Wednesday on the Gold Coast and will complete public workouts at Pacific Fair shopping centre on Thursday night. The Convention Centre card also features Brisbane-based Irish light heavyweight world title prospect Conor Wallace, rejuvenated super welterweight Ben Mahoney, and entertaining Paris Olympic heavyweight Teremoana Teremoana.

Ed Sheeran at the top of Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez's wedding guest list

Ed Sheeran is at the top of the guest list for Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez's wedding. The couple got engaged in December after over a year of dating and although they haven't yet set a date for their nuptials, the 37-year-old groom-to-be admitted he's already invited his friend and collaborator, who he has previously worked with on the likes of 'Shape of You', 'Castle on the Hill', and Justin Bieber's 'Love Yourself'. Speaking on the Australian TV show 'Today', Benny said: "I just told him, 'I'm going to have a wedding and you're going to come to the wedding. "Eventually Ed will come to our wedding when we do have one, but unfortunately we have not scheduled one yet - but we will!" After Benny and Selena got engaged, they created songs that eventually ended up on their first joint album, 'I Said I Love You First', which was released in March, but they had never deliberately planned to make such a project together. Speaking about how their LP came to fruition, Benny said: "We just started making music in our house as a little fun activity and then all of a sudden we had one song, then two songs, then three songs, then four songs. "She was just a joy to work with and it was better to work with her than anyone else because, at the end of the day, I get to kiss her too.'" During the recording process, a bird caused Benny and Selena to fight. Speaking to Kent 'Smallzy' Small on the latest episode of the 'Smallzy's Surgery' podcast, he said: "The biggest fight we had making the record is we did it at home, and there were birds that would chirp only when she was recording and never any time else. "And I didn't believe her for the first two weeks." Selena recently revealed she does not like to refer to Benny as her fiance. Appearing with her partner on the 'Table Manners' podcast in April, the 32-year-old singer explained: "[Calling him my fiance is] so strange. "I just say, my partner or Benny. But the other day, I caught myself saying 'Well, my boyfriend ...' but that's not quite why we're there." And after he and Selena shared their first kiss, Benny knew he wanted to "have a baby" with his lover. Appearing on Spotify's 'Countdown To' series in March, he said: "I knew right after we kissed, I was like, 'Oh wow. I'm probably going to marry this person'. "Well, I didn't say marry but I was like, 'I'm probably going to have a baby with this person.' "
