Nicole Kidman chops off inches of hair as she graces 2025 Met Gala 

Nicole Kidman has dropped jaws with her dramatic hair transformation at the 2025 Met Gala.

The Babygirl made a stunning appearance on the blue carpet on Monday, May 5, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, debuting a new hairstyle.

Nicole chopped off inches of her hair as she graced this year's Met Gala theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.

For those unaware, this year, the organizers of the Met Gala decided to pay a heartfelt tribute to the Costume Institute's spring 2025 exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.

The exhibit explores "the Black dandy as both a concept and an identity signifier," said curator in Charge Andrew Bolton.

According to Page Six, renowned celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel styled the actress’s locks in a side part while turning her long cascading bangs on one side of her face. 

For the star-studded event, the Aquaman starlet donned a custom Balenciaga Couture gown, which she paired with matching heels. 

To elevate her look, she wore coordinated gloves and opted for minimal jewellery pieces.

Her outfit reportedly took 700 hours to make as it was a customized frock-inspired dress from Cristóbal Balenciaga's 1952 collection.

Nicole Kidman expressed gratitude to her designers for creating her magical outfit: 

Taking to Instagram, the 57-year-old Australian-American actress shared a black-and-white photo of herself from the festival.

She captioned her post, "Thanks for a fun night @voguemagazine @metmuseum @balenciaga."
