Nicole Kidman Is Nearly Unrecognizable Sporting Dramatic New Look
Nicole Kidman is switching up her style—and fans are absolutely loving the spicy new look! The longtime actress stunned once again as she appeared nearly unrecognizable in her latest beauty transformation while posing for her latest magazine photoshoot. In the images from Allure's June issue, which she shared via Instagram on Thursday, May 22, the 57-year-old debuted a bold, bright red choppy bob, created by celebrity hairstylist Evanie Frausto. The look, a bold departure from her traditional long blonde tresses, featured layers and mini bangs, offering a modern twist on the trendy short cut. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 More images included in the social media gallery showed the fiery-colored style in a lob, slightly longer than the cover photo's ultra-short version. Loyal fans of The Perfect Couple star may remember when Kidman rocked a similar look while playing in 1998's Practical Magic, though the color was less bright and more of a toned-down ginger with longer layers. Anyhow, folks quickly took to the comment section of the post to express adoration for the updated look. "WOW!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥," one gushed, as another dubbed her "An icon and a legend" and a third insisted she "devoured" in the pictures. "Really put the leg in legend! 🔥😮," someone else noted, drawing attention to the thigh-high slit featured on the slinky fuchsia dress she donned. The official account of Hulu series Nine Perfect Strangers—in which she portrays the character of Masha Dmitrichenko—even popped in, adding that she looked "Ethereal ✨" in the glamorous shots.

Hailey Bieber Is a Great Entrepreneur. She Did Not Make $1 Billion This Week.
When model Hailey Bieber was on the cover of Allure introducing her soon-to-launch skin-care line called Rhode, she told us that her biggest hope for the brand was that someone might pick it up and not know it's hers: 'That would be my dream, for it to actually surprise people.' And what a surprise we all got this week when Bieber announced she'd sold her brand to E.L.F. Beauty only three years later. Even more unexpected than this accelerated time frame, though, was the amount she sold it for, according to Wednesday's press release: $1 billion. Later that afternoon, we weren't surprised to see news headlines and user-generated TikTok videos swirling, mostly jumping on that B-word: Many said that Hailey Bieber sold Rhode for a billion bucks, or that she was set to earn a billion dollars from the sale of the brand. Several outlets went so far as to declare that Bieber is a billionaire now, implying that the announcement of this deal triggered a direct deposit of a 10-digit figure into her checking account. In the headline for our interview with Bieber this week, we referred to the value of the deal as being 'more money than we could ever dream of.' Definitely accurate! In a video posted to our social media accounts, our content director, Kara McGrath, stated the brand was sold for 'more than half a billion.' Also accurate! Yet commenters were quick to respond, telling us we got the number wrong. But there's a reason we didn't say this is a full-on, billion-dollar acquisition (at least not yet). After we looked at the transactional details laid out in the press release, we realized we wouldn't be 100% comfortable in stating that Bieber had sold Rhode for $1 billion. It describes the deal as being 'comprised of $800 million of consideration payable at closing [the second quarter of fiscal 2026] in a combination of cash and stock, subject to customary adjustments, and an additional potential earnout consideration of $200 million based on the future growth of the brand over a three-year time frame.' Since $200 million of that $1 billion is hypothetical, we paused before putting '$1 billion' in our headlines and social content. And that $800 million figure itself, as stated in the release, is a combination of '$600 million of cash and $200 million, or approximately 2.6 million shares, of newly issued shares of E.L.F. Beauty common stock issued to existing equity holders of Rhode, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments.' So, as fun as it is to imagine, the CEO of E.L.F. didn't show up at Bieber's office with a suitcase full of cash. And in general, the deal, though very lucrative for Bieber, won't make the automatic impact on her wallet that some people seem to think it will. Even if the deal nets out to a billion dollars (or more with soaring E.L.F. stock), in the end, this does not make Bieber a billionaire. She is one of the many people who work for (or invested in) Rhode who will be getting a payout. Regardless of precisely how much this young phenom of a brand ultimately sells for, it's a brilliant move for both Rhode and E.L.F. Rhode makes great products (two of them have won Best of Beauty Awards) beloved by consumers, and Bieber has been able to infuse the brand with a cool factor that many companies have tried and failed to replicate. It's a cool that has translated to spectacular sales numbers, as we learned this week: $212 million in net sales (Whoa!) over the last 12 months—and that's with less than a dozen products and only direct-to-consumer distribution (the brand is entering Sephora this fall). Meanwhile, E.L.F. clearly has a ton of cash, which they can now use to supercharge those already impressive sales and to have Hailey and her serious beauty influence on their team. So does the ultimate, definitive, exact number really matter when, at the end of the day, Bieber and her partners are still bringing in amounts of money most of us will never see in a lifetime? Maybe not. But at Allure, we're committed to choosing our words clearly and carefully—whether we're covering a financial transaction or skin-care terminology or sustainable packaging claims.

Sneak-peek into Kiara Advani's pregnancy diet: Secret behind mom-to-be's radiant glow
Kiara Advani is soon going to embrace motherhood as she is expecting her first child with Sidharth Malhotra. Just a few days back, she flaunted her baby bump for the first time after she made her debut appearance at the MET Gala 2025. Keeping her fans involved in her lifestyle, the soon-to-be mom recently shared a glimpse of the special diet she has been relishing to ensure a healthy baby. On May 30, Kiara Advani posted a picture of her colorful lunch plate on her Instagram stories. She didn't write anything alongside, but let her post do the talking. As we can see, the salad plate consists of Tomatoes, Lettuce, Cucumber, Zucchini, and Pomegranates. Take a look It was earlier this month that the soon-to-be mom made her debut appearance at the biggest international fashion event, the Met Gala. She opted for a customized Gaurav Gupta black gown that had a golden breastplate. What made her outfit all the more unique was a beautiful umbilical cord right at the front- a perfect choice to express a mother's love for her child. She left her curly hair open with a subtle make-up, and no wonder, she looked like a dream, exuding her pregnancy glow. In fact, her supportive husband, Sidharth Malhotra, also accompanied his pregnant wife as she made a milestone achievement on the global stage. In a behind-the-scenes video shared online, Kiara had even expressed her love for the attire for its detailing. The brief that she gave her designer was, "This is the next phase of my life, and I want that to be a part of the expression of my outfit." She also spoke with the Allure at the event about the new phase of her life. When asked what excites her most about the pregnancy, she said, "I mean, there's so much to look forward to. It's just the beginning, so yeah, very excited." Sidharth and Kiara announced that they're expecting their first child earlier this year in February. On the professional front, Kiara will be next seen in YRF Spy-universe, War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is set to be released on August 14, 2025.

Demi Lovato's Wedding Nails Are Not What We Expected
All products featured on Allure are independently selected by Allure editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. Getty Images Congratulations, Demi Lovato! The singer tied the knot with Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes on May 25 in California and looked absolutely stunning from head to toe. But one element of her wedding-day immediately look stood out as a bit of a surprise: the bridal manicure! Lovato is known for her edgy style—think lots of leather, tattoos, and sleek silhouettes. Instead of a shiny black manicure, a deep and romantic red, or gray chrome, which is what we would have predicted for Lovato's wedding set, the musician chose a classic soft, barely there polish for the big day. Lovato worked with longtime manicurist Natalie Minerva on two similar-but-not-identical sets for the wedding weekend. For the first evening, the two landed on a combination of OPI's Nail Lacquer in Passion, a sheer neutral pink, and For the Fill of It, a pro-only warm pink shade. On the wedding day, Lovato chose Pearl-Clutching Behavior, which Minerva describes as a 'softer, more milky nude.' Minerva shaped the star's nails into medium-length rounded almonds and painted a few delicate coats of color atop the nails for a sweet, whisper-light set that looked so good with Lovato's Vivienne Westwood gown and sparkling diamond ring. Minerva came prepared for the occasion with an entire lineup of nail options in a similar palette, including OPI's beloved Bubble Bath, and also gave the groom a wedding-day manicure. Many brides choose nearly naked or milky nails on their wedding day as it's a timeless look that suits a variety of bridal styles. When we polled nail pros for their favorite 2025 wedding manicure trends, they spotlighted soft matte sets, pearl-studded French manis, and all-white nails, perfect for a neutrals-with-a-twist vibe. Nude and blush-pink styles may reign supreme for walking down the aisle, but if you're more of a color person, you could also try an on-theme baby blue (as the 'something blue,' of course) or cherry red, similar to Lovato's sheer 'cherry Jello nails' from earlier this spring. Either way, you, like Lovato, will be headed for a happily ever after!

Nicole Kidman Poses With Red Hair in New Photos Days After Suffering a Wig Malfunction at Cannes
Nicole Kidman debuted a fiery new look days after making headlines for an alleged wig mishap at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. The 57-year-old actress posed on Allure's May 2025 cover with a dramatic red wig cropped into a bob with harsh bangs, a bold switch up from the blonde hair we're used to seeing her with. More from SheKnows Dakota Johnson, Adria Arjona & All the Best Dressed Stars at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival In other photos from the shoot, Kidman's wig was cropped even shorter, ending just below her ears. She posed in a plush, blue setting and showed off her long legs in a silky hot pink mini dress with a high leg slit and metallic pink shoes. The Allure shoot comes days after the Nine Perfect Strangers star made headlines for an alleged wig malfunction the 2025 Kering Women In Motion Awards in Cannes. Page Six claimed that photos showed that Kidman was wearing a lace-front wig that was pinned along her natural hairline but not adequately blended with her natural color. Kidman is no stranger to wearing wigs. She often dons dramatic new looks for her characters and even admitted to wearing a wig after stepping out with short hair at the 2025 Met Gala. In a May 21 interview with Australian network Channel Seven's 'Sunrise,' Kidman addressed her Met Gala cut, confirming it was a wig by saying, 'Everyone's like, 'Did you chop your hair off?' I'm like, 'No, I did not.''Best of SheKnows All the Celebrities Who Have Struggled With Drug or Alcohol Addiction 23 Famous Women Over 40 Who Have Posed For Gorgeous Nude Photoshoots Gabrielle Union, Olivia Munn & 44 More Celebrities Who Keep It Refreshingly Real on Social Media
