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.'

Kidman wants more women directors
Australian megastar Nicole Kidman lamented on Sunday the "incredibly low" number of hit films made by women directors, and revealed that she often wakes up at 3.00AM to do her own personal writing, reported AFP. Despite her efforts backing and mentoring women-led projects, the number of women-made films among the highest-grossing films "is incredibly low", she said as she received a Kering Women In Motion award at the Cannes film festival. Kidman pledged in 2017 to work with a woman director at least once every 18 months, saying then that there was "such a disparity in terms of the choices". "You would go, 'OK, could a woman direct this?' There just wasn't a number of names that you could consider," she said. The Oscar-winning actor confirmed that she had worked with 27 female directors since her pledge eight years ago. Only seven of the 22 films in the main competition in Cannes this year are directed by women. But Kidman heaped praise on an early critics' favourite, Mascha Schilinski's The Sound of Falling, a German-language drama about multi-generational trauma among women on a farm. "To have Sound of Falling heard on the world stage, that's fantastic," she said. Although she ruled out writing her own script, she did reveal that she frequently wakes up during the night to write. "It's a very ripe time for things to happen because you're in that slightly removed state from reality," she said. "I wake up and I'll write something, be it a dream, be it something that's circulating in my mind." Lawrence talks parenthood Meanwhile, actors Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence, who star in the Cannes Film Festival competition title Die My Love, reflected on Sunday on the difficulties of the postpartum period and how they brought their own experiences of parenthood to the film, reported AFP. "There's not really anything like postpartum. It's extremely isolating," Lawrence, who recently gave birth to her second child, told journalists in the French Riviera resort town. However, "as a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what she (her character) would do," said Lawrence, who won an Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook in 2013. Pattinson and Lawrence play a couple, Jackson and Grace, who move to a small Montana town and have a child, which puts increasing pressure on their relationship as Grace, a writer, struggles to deal with her new identity as a mother. "When dealing with a partner going through postpartum or any kind of mental illness or difficulties, trying to deal with her isolation, figuring out what your role is, is difficult, especially if you don't have the vernacular," Pattinson said. The film, the latest from Scottish director Lynne Ramsay, known for emotionally intense dramas like We Need To Talk About Kevin, received a nine-minute standing ovation at its premiere on Saturday night and has been well-received by critics. Pattinson, who gained fame in the Twilight series before both taking on less mainstream titles like The Lighthouse and donning Batman's suit, said becoming a parent himself last year had reinvigorated him. "In the most unexpected ways, having a baby gives you the biggest trove of energy and inspiration," said Pattinson. Lawrence, of the Hunger Games series, said that becoming a parent made her realise that she didn't know just how much she could feel - "and my job has a lot to do with emotion". "I highly recommend having kids if you want to be an actor." Anderson's A-list army In addition, US director Wes Anderson brought his latest A-list cast led by Benicio del Toro to the festival, ramping up the star power as the competition reaches the halfway mark. Anderson's typically whimsical The Phoenician Scheme, which also finds roles for Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson and Kate Winslet's daughter, Mia Threapleton, is in the running for the top prize at Cannes. It tells the story of risk-taking and accident-prone European tycoon Zsa-zsa Korda, played by del Toro, a character loosely based on Anderson's Lebanese father-in-law. "He was a completely different sort of person, but he was an engineer and quite alpha," the director told AFP. "His relationship with my wife is probably the DNA of the movie. He told her one day, 'I need to tell you about how my business works because I won't live forever.' But "the way he told her about his business was he opened a closet and started taking out shoeboxes and said, 'This is the project that we are doing in Saudi. This is the project we are doing in Gibraltar," Anderson added. "She came home and she said, 'This is crazy.' So all of that went in the movie. Sorry," said the maker of such quirky hits as Asteroid City, The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Darjeeling Limited. With Anderson's film always thick with stars, the film's red-carpet premiere was packed with stars, with Edward Norton, Julianne Moore, Benedict Cumberbatch and Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro also in town. Sunday also saw the premiere of Nigeria's first film in an official slot at Cannes. My Father's Shadow, the debut feature of newcomer Akinola Davies is set during a 1993 coup, a pivotal moment in Nigeria's recent history, when the military annulled the election and General Sani Abacha eventually took power. "Getting into competition for the first time ever shows that Nigerian cinema has come of age," Prince Baba Agba, a cultural advisor to Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu, told AFP. Culture Minister Hannatu Musawa led the large and stylish Nigerian presence on the red carpet for the premiere.

Salma Hayek is the epitome of glamour in a petrol green sequinned gown as she makes a striking appearance at Kering Women In Motion Awards 2025 amid Cannes Film Festival
Salma Hayek ensured to capture everyone's attention in a glamorous sequinned gown as she arrived at 2025 Kering Women In Motion Awards amid the 78th Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. The Frida icon, 58, put on a show-stopping display as she slipped into a shimmery petrol green number which featured teal feather-trim embellishments. The Mexican actress wowed in the busty dress, toting the look with a matching clutch bag. Salma typically oozed old glamour lifting her dark tresses into a high up-do and adding further bling with a gleaming diamond choker and matching rings. The Bandidas favourite was joined by her billionaire husband and Kering CEO François-Henri Pinault. The couple looked typically smitten packing on the PDA as they stopped for striking snaps for the A-list Presidential Dinner at the Place de la Castre. This year's Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump´s vow to enact tariffs on international films. Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d´Or, to give out at the end. Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories. 'You release a film into that Colosseum-like situation,' says Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, who´s returning to Cannes with 'The Secret Agent, a thriller set during Brazil ´s dictatorship. 'You´ve got to really prepare for the whole experience because its quite intense - not very far from the feeling of approaching a roller coaster as you go up the steps at the Palais.' Trump sent shock waves through Hollywood and the international film community when he announced on May 4 that all movies "produced in Foreign Lands" will face 100% tariffs. The White House has said no final decisions have been made. Options being explored include federal incentives for U.S.-based productions, rather than tariffs. But the announcement was a reminder of how international tensions can destabilize even the oldest cultural institutions. The Cannes Film Festival originally emerged in the World War II years, when the rise of fascism in Italy led to the founding of an alternative to the then-government controlled Venice Film Festival. In the time since, Cannes´ resolute commitment to cinema has made it a beacon to filmmakers. Countless directors have come to make their name. This year is no different, though some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known. Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) have all unveiled their feature directorial debuts in Cannes´ Un Certain Regard sidebar section. Many Cannes veterans have returned, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro - who received an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes - and Quentin Tarantino, who paid tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman. Meanwhile Scarlett's directorial debut Eleanor The Great, will be unveiled on May 20. However, in the wake of his legal battle with former co-star Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni is not expected to attend. Over recent years the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette. But new nudity rules, devised for 'the sake of decency,' have been implemented at this year's festival. According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet. 'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,' states a Cannes festival document. 'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.' The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter - released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour. Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest profile film screenings across a packed two-week schedule in Cannes. It's understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline grabbing ensembles. Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted. While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement. Major red carpet events, including the Cannes Film Festival, are aired in France by France Télévisions Recently attracting more models and influencers than actors and filmmakers, the annual ceremony has seen an increase in risque red carpet fashion statements. In 2021, American supermodel Bella Hadid bared her cleavage in a plunging black gown while attending a screening of Tre Piani (Three Floors). She pulled a similar stunt three years later, with guests at the 2024 gala left speechless after she attended the premiere of Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice completely braless beneath a sheer brown evening dress.
