Stunning Photos Of Nicole Kidman That Show Her Incredible Evolution
Nicole Kidman’s been around for longer than you might think. She wasn’t always an acting legend. Once upon a time, she was just a young red-headed actress from Australia, and then suddenly stardom came calling… as did Tom Cruise. Let’s take a look at her style evolution as she navigated the bright lights of Hollywood.
40. In the beginning, 1983
Do you even recognize this girl?! Yep, that’s Nicole Kidman in 1983, before she was an A-lister. She’d just done the movie BMX Bandits when this photo was taken. Back in those days, she had a long mane of frizzy red hair, and reportedly she barely went out in the sun so as to protect her skin.

A few years later and Kidman was all grown up and ready to conquer Hollywood — and she’d gotten her hair into these gorgeous wild curls. She’d also nailed her makeup for this shoot: the red lipstick to match her flowing red hair and the eye makeup which made her beautiful blue eyes stand out even more.
38. Sharply dressed, 1991
Kidman starred in the film Billy Bathgate come 1991. You may not actually remember it. It was a huge bomb both critically and financially, but it did give everyone a good glance at the Aussie rising star, and surely many people were noting just how fantastic she looked in suits.

Nicole Kidman told People magazine in 1989, “I don’t have the kind of hair you can have a hairstyle with.” And while she definitely stuck with her old mane of curls for a while (it changed color a little, though), before too long, the world would realize that she was totally selling herself short by saying that.
