2009 American Music Awards: Nicole Kidman

BellaSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:46:52 -0800

It's a rockin' night, and Nicole Kidman is dressed for it. She arrived on the arm of her crooner husband, Keith Urban, wearing her hair very differently than what we're used to seeing. Instead of an elegant updo or worn long and center-parted, tonight she let her hair cover half her face, a la Veronica Lake. Do you think the style worked as well on Nicole as it did on Veronica, or do you wish she hadn't gone for a remake?

Love It or Hate It: Nicole Kidman's Asymmetrical Bob Updo

BellaSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:02:18 -0700

Nicole Kidman proves that it's easy to go from long flowing locks to a cropped bob with just a few well-placed hair pins, as she did at last night's Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. It wasn't long ago that Rosario Dawson also donned this switcheroo style, and Angelina did it with this Changeling look. Does Nic pull it off, or is it just a little off?

How-To: Nicole Kidman's Australia Updo

BellaSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:00:44 -0800

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.

Bella Quiz: Beauty Product or Nicole Kidman Movie?

BellaSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:00:43 -0700

Fair-skinned, strawberry-blond Nicole Kidman is likely just as famous for her delicate features and beautiful face as she is for her acting skills. She's starred in more than 35 movies and was the face of Chanel No. 5 from 2004 to 2006. I've been a fan of Nicole's work, porcelain skin, and piercing blue eyes since I first saw her in Dead Calm. How closely have you followed Nicole's career? Can you tell the difference between one of her movies and a beauty product? Take this quiz to find out.

How-To: Nicole Kidman's Oscars Makeup

BellaSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 16:00:23 -0800

Nicole Kidman turns up on the red carpet with a flawless hair and makeup combo each and every time. Last night, she showed up at the Oscars in soft, feminine makeup and a pretty sideswept bun.

Her makeup artist for the evening, Angela Levin, created Nicole's look with Chanel products. To find out how to get this look for yourself, read more.

Face: Nicole's skin was given a light layer of foundation and a touch of concealer to even out her skin tone.
Eyes: Angela wanted to give Nicole a dramatic, smoky eye. To do this, she used Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadows in Silvery and Ebony on the lids, and then lined the eyes with Chanel Le Crayon Khol Intense Eye Pencil in Graphite and Noir to make Nicole's sky-blue eyes really pop. She finished off the eyes with a generous coating of Chanel Inimitable Mascara in Noir.
Lips: Angela painted Nicole's pout in a soft, pretty shade of pink by using Chanel Rouge Allure in Darling.

After reading through your comments about Nicole Kidman's past Oscars looks, I noticed a lot of calls for her to go back to red hair.

All in all, this is one of my favorite looks of the night. What do you think?
