One movie premiere, but double the hairdos for Nicole Kidman! Though she wore long, loose locks at the screening of Australia in Sydney, she chose this beaded style for the photocall beforehand. I'm here to help you re-create this look for any evening out – all you need is two rubber bands, pretty barrette optional.
To get the look, read more.
- Sweep your hair over to one side of your head. Take most of your hair and pull it aside with a clip (you don't need that part now) but leave a small piece hanging down at the bottom.
- Take that loose piece and make a ponytail slightly to one side on the back of your head. Since this will form the middle section of the bun, place the ponytail where you want the center to be. Pull the elastic over it, leaving a small loop with loose ends over the nape of your neck when you secure it.
- Grab the rest of your hair as if you were going to make another ponytail, but begin twisting it until it coils around the first bump that you made. Put the second hair tie around the bun and leave the remaining, dangling ends over the original set on your neck.
- Add a barrette for a special touch. Check out a couple beaded versions below.

Make Up For Ever
Love it! I'm always looking for non-boring ways to wear my hair up on lazy days
1is it just me or does her hair look a little gray in this picture?
2I'm not very impressed with this.... should I be?
3I feel the same way krae, isn't this just a "messy bun"? I hate that straw-like hair hanging out the bottom of the bun! pretty clip, though!
4She looks tired... probably the new baby. It does take alot out of your body, but she looks older somehow too.
5Yeah, this is not a very flattering photo of her...and I really don't like the updo either.
6wow, yes those white blond streaks look like gray hair on my screen...i think that hair is a little severe & aging for her.
7But i really love that hair accessory.
Her hair does look like it has some gray showing through. I liked her much better as a red head. The blonde washes her out too much.
8Also...her hair here does look reddish blonde,but I meant red head like Far and Away red.
9Or Moulin Rouge red!
10From the look of her forehead, Nicole obviously pulled her rubber bands a bit too tight:)
11I dont like the front view at all. I do like the bun/accessory combo. We have some pretty stuff at Target from the Holiday Jewels Collection.

12It's kind of zzzzzzzzzz...
13Boring!
14Yea, the front does look a little gray...
While it is a very simple-looking updo, I really enjoy the beautiful clip as an accessory - especially during the holiday season.
15I think she looks old too, but I don't think it's her hair. See that little wrinkle where she's smiling? Nothing wrong with it, but she's been so injected recently that it looks odd for her to have any expression lines at all.
16That clip is awesome! I'm thinking giving this a little twist so the stray ends come out the top and flop over the bun instead of sticking out the bottom.
17Is there anything original left on this once-natural beauty? She had gorgeous vibrant curly red hair, which is now faded peach with gray spots and straightened. Her face is pulled so tight it's giving me a headache. As lovely as she was before she started getting mini-lifts and mega-Botox, I'm not a fan of the heir-apparent to Joan Rivers throne.
She's a good actress and seems like a nice lady, I just hate the message that face is sending. I mean, she's barely 41!
Nice hair clip, though.
18Love Nicole, but hate this ugly shade of yellow blond on her. She is such a cool redhead. Go back to red-ish Nic!
19Nicole Kidman would look gorgeous at 41 with silver hair. There aren't any young Hollywood females who aren't afraid to age gracefully. It is refreshing to see a strawberry-blonde turn silver in front of us.
20Nicole should show off her gorgeous silver hair and not look back. She is stunning, mature, confident, classy, glamourous, natural,AND SEXY with natural, long hair as well. Silver looks great on her.
