The star caught fans off guard with the dramatic makeover, as she is known for her signature long blonde hair. Her look for the Met, themed "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," included a long black gown with two ruffle details at the waist designed by Balenciaga.

The dress ended at her ankles as she showed off Mary Jane heels with a pointed toe and black stockings.

But fans were caught up on her hair, as they chatted about the never-before-seen look from the Hollywood big name.


"Haircut looks great!!" one wrote under the A-lister's post. Another said, "Omg, your hair! You look absolutely gorgeous. Full focus on your beautiful face." "HAIR IS HAIRING," a third commented.

"THAT HAIRCUT IS PERFECT ON YOU," a fourth fan gushed.

Kidman's hairstylist Adir Abergel shared an explanation behind the look on Instagram, sharing the inspiration came from the theme.

"The inspiration was a tailored short cut that brought out the essence of Dandyism on Nicole Kidman," he wrote. "I wanted to celebrate this year's theme by honoring the Dandies and their individuality, elegance, and confidence—where every detail is tailored to that unique person."

Now, during the May 8th ACM ceremony, fans are noticing that the star's lengthy blonde locks have returned. "Nicole Kidman's long hair is back tonight at the ACM Awards," one person noted.
