Nicole Kidman Wore Monse To The 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards

So, it turns out Nicole Kidman’s razor-sharp bob for the Met Gala was just a fleeting moment in her ever-evolving hair history.

By Thursday, the Australian actress was back to her long strawberry blonde roots as she hit the red carpet at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards in Frisco, Texas. No Met Gala high glam this time—this appearance was all about her ongoing support for husband Keith Urban and his world of rhinestones and rhythm.

And yes, if you’re wondering why she’s standing like that… you’re not alone. I had questions too. But after a quick scroll through every red carpet angle available, the pose starts to click.

Nicole was wearing a look from Monse’s Fall 2025 collection, and the sculptural high-neck leather corset paired with an asymmetrical skirt-over-trouser silhouette needed a little theatre to be properly appreciated. In a standard red carpet stance, all those clever layers and sharp details disappeared. This look is edgy, unexpected, and demands a bit of drama to land—and as always, Nicole Kidman knows exactly how to deliver.

Stylist: Jason Bolden.
