Nicole Mary Kidman, born on June 20, 1967, has established herself as one of Hollywood’s most recognized stars, thanks to her impressive body of work in both film and television.
Despite being born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Australian parents—her mother a nursing educator and her father a biochemist and clinical psychologist—Kidman’s family was temporarily living in the U.S. on student visas at the time. Her passion for acting was ignited after she watched Margaret Hamilton portray the Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz,” a performance that left a lasting impression on her.
Overcoming childhood shyness and a stutter, which she discussed in a 2000 Talk Magazine interview, Kidman gained confidence and began her acting journey. She participated in the Phillip Street Theatre and the Australian Theatre for Young People during her teenage years.
Kidman’s film career began in 1983 with “Bush Christmas,” leading to a series of roles in productions like “Five Mile Creek,” “BMX Bandits,” and “Windrider.” Her breakout performances in iconic films such as “Eyes Wide Shut,” “Moulin Rouge!,” “Dogville,” and “Paddington” solidified her status as a household name.
Her first marriage was to Tom Cruise in 1990, lasting until their divorce in 2001. She later married Keith Urban, a prominent Australian country music artist, in 2006.
Kidman is always in the public eye, and she strives to look her best for her fans. In July 2023, she attended the London premiere of the Paramount+ series “Special Ops: Lioness” alongside co-star Zoe Saldaa. Fans were surprised to see her confidently flaunting her toned abs in a daring black Saint Laurent dress with cutouts, complemented by minimal makeup, transparent black gloves, and strappy heels. Her understated look featured a subtle blush, neutral lipstick, and bold eyelashes that highlighted her blue eyes, with her hair styled in a low ponytail.
This wasn’t the first time Kidman stunned audiences with her fashion choices. She previously wore a similar daring outfit at the 2008 premiere of “The Golden Compass,” showcasing her confidence and unique style.
After her recent appearance, fans praised her beauty and physique, with one comment noting the “perfect balance of sophistication and seduction.” Many were curious about her diet, prompting her to share that she doesn’t follow a strict regimen. In a 2014 interview with the Los Angeles Times, she mentioned, “I pretty much eat anything, but all in moderation.” She elaborated in a 2013 Women’s Health interview, stating her approach to eating is about 80% healthy and 20% indulgent.
Kidman has also expressed a fondness for Australian cuisine, enjoying seafood such as mud crabs, rock oysters, prawns, and lobster. She revealed in a Vogue “73 Questions” segment that one of her favorite foods is homemade warm bread with Parmigiano Reggiano, while she admitted to disliking ham.
With her incredible career and a balanced approach to life, Nicole Kidman continues to inspire fans around the world.
