The 59-year-old actress shared photos from her July stay at the Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, where she spent time with her sister Antonia Kidman and other family members. In one relaxed shot, Kidman sat outdoors with her strawberry-blonde hair worn loose

and textured, a noticeable change from the carefully styled waves and updos she frequently wears for red carpet appearances. She kept the Instagram caption simple, adding four sun emojis and tagging the luxury hotel.[Credit: Nicole Kidman Official Instagram.] Other photos showed Kidman with her hair swept into a softly styled high ponytail as she enjoyed the Italian Riviera with Antonia. The trip also marked Antonia’s 55th birthday, with the sisters celebrating aboard a yacht off the Portofino coast. Kidman was previously photographed relaxing by the pool at the property in a pale blue shirt and coordinating shorts, finishing the vacation look with sunglasses, Chanel flats and a neck scarf. The laid-back styling offered a very different side of the Oscar winner from the polished appearances fans usually see at premieres and major fashion events.Credit: Nicole Kidman Official Instagram. Kidman has experimented extensively with her hair throughout her career, moving between long blonde waves, sleek styles, dramatic updos and hairpieces for both roles and public appearances. Her naturally curly and textured hair was more visible during the early years of her career, making glimpses of it today comparatively uncommon. At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, some online observers also scrutinized her hairstyle after photos appeared to show details associated with a hairpiece. Kidman herself has been open about enjoying those transformations rather than sticking to one signature look.[Credit: Nicole Kidman Official Instagram.] Speaking on Channel Seven’s ‘Sunrise’ in 2025, Kidman explained, “As you know, I love changing my hair.” She has used wigs and hairpieces to create dramatically different styles without permanently changing her own hair. That was also the case at the 2025 Met Gala, when her shorter-looking hairstyle led some fans to wonder whether she had cut it. “For the Met Gala, everyone was questioning if I had chopped my hair off. But no, I didn’t,” she later clarified. Her latest vacation photos went in the opposite direction, offering a more relaxed glimpse of the hair she rarely showcases publicly.
