It’s no surprise that celebrities have hair benefits that the rest of us don’t, like easier access to high-quality extensions and the hairstylists who are so adept at utilizing them. Stars like Nicole Kidman are adjacent to all the best styling secrets—and from the looks of her latest voluminous style, her hair may actually be full of secrets.
The Oscar winner is at the Venice Film Festival for her new movie, Babygirl, and on Friday, August 30, she attended a photocall wearing a black, low-cut Bottega Veneta midi dress with swirling shoulder details and dangling Roberto Coin earrings. And while her makeup look was sweet and simple, with soft pink gloss and blush and a hint of shimmer on her eyelids, her hair said, “This is my moment.”
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what’s going on here. Is it half-up? Fully up? Is this even a ponytail in any sense? From the side, we can see that her hair is tautly but not slickly pulled back, exploding into cascading waves that start a few inches above her crown and extend well down her back; if it were down it would easily reach her waist, suggesting that her go-to stylist, Adir Abergel, used some stunningly well-matched extensions.
