Nicole Kidman Shakes Up Her Look After Divorce Filing

In the weeks leading up to her divorce filing, Nicole Kidman alluded to facing a new chapter in her life. During an interview in late August, the Oscar-winning actress reflected on how life can take unexpected turns, saying, "How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going, and then it isn't going in that direction?"

Just over a week before the article's publication on October 8, 2025, Kidman had sought to legally end her 19-year marriage to country singer Keith Urban. This development lent new perspective to her earlier comments about the unpredictability of life.

Kidman also revealed that she had opted not to attend the 2024 Venice Film Festival, where she was set to be awarded best actress, following the death of her mother, Janelle Kidman. This decision to protect her peace during a difficult time underscores the personal challenges the actress has faced in recent months.
