At the premiere of her new film—the much-anticipated Margo’s Got Money Troubles starring fellow blondes Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer—Nicole Kidman reminded us that there’s one thing she’s never had: Hair troubles. Over the years, the actor has beautifully moved between shades of blonde and brunette, and red (who could forget that bold shade from the Moulin Rouge era?). But her latest hair transformation didn’t require a trip to the colorist; instead, she’s opted for the ever-stylish and wearable curtain bangs.

“When they’re done right, [curtain bangs] are flattering on everyone,” hairstylist Mark Townsend, the man behind Dakota Johnson’s ever-coveted mane, has told Vogue about the cut. “It’s a style that every face shape and every hair texture can have.”
Kidman’s fringe is a natural evolution from the shorter, rounder bangs she debuted at the Chanel show in October of last year. For the night, Kidman tapped her longtime hairstylist Adir Abergel for the look. The rest of the team included Mary Wiles for her makeup and stylist Jason Bolden, who dressed the star in Schaiperelli.
If you’re thinking of getting bangs, save this look—Kidman and Abergel are teaching a master-class in the notoriously tricky bang grow-out. Next stop? Maybe U-bangs.
