Is it just me, or does Nicole Kidman look a little frumpy


Nicole Kidman is gorgeous as usual, and this outfit isn’t bad, but the combination of that weird gathered top with her overshaded eyebrows makes her look a little frumpy to me. Maybe it’s the way she’s standing in one picture, but she looks positively matronly, like a teacher who would correct your grammar in a sing song voice.

Kidman appeared at the Rome Film Festival to premiere her movie “Fur,” which is based loosely on the life of photographer Diane Arbus. Kidman plays opposite Robert Downey, Jr.

Kidman said during the press conference that she loves living in Nashville with her new husband, Keith Urban, and that she’s not going to work with him on a music project in the future:

Speaking at a press conference for her latest movie “Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus” she says they had no plans for a collaboration.

Asked whether they would work together she said: “We’re not going to work together.”

She then went on to say that she is finding living in Nashville a great experience and that its helping with her creative side.

“(Nashville) is actually a wonderful place for me to live because I feel very protected there and I like living somewhere that isn’t a big city,” she said

“I’m very drawn to the rural aspect of Tennessee, I love to ride horses,”

Kidman has also denied that she’s pregnant, and said quite frankly during a recent interview with a British radio station, “I will say right now I am not pregnant.”

She sure is blunt in interviews and I bet she would put you right in your place if you ever crossed her or messed up your punctuation.

    It’s the colour, it’s too near her skin tone

    it’s not just you. When I saw those pix I thought Nicole looked like a Fifth Avenue Barbie on some of them.. you know, perfectly molded body, big hair, posable limbs. She often goes for that very controlled, prim and proper look. It looks strangely contrived, particularly when combined with that girly giggle and awkward gestures. She often says publicly that she’s “shy” which annoys me to no end. She’s a huge star who survived Cruise and got an Oscar so she should stop acting like she wants everyone to approve of her. I’m thinking control issues, food issues, unhappy family issues–where are the kids??

    I think it’s the skirt. It’s very ‘momish’. I think if the shirt were paired with a different skirt it would be ok. I’ve liked her hair lately though, it’s not as flat as she used to wear it for a while there. Still not thrilled with the color (I like the red better) but it’s not flat against her skull anymore.

    Millie, you are so right. I thought Barbie as well, especially because of how she’s posed.

    I don’t like the details on her blouse. All the gathering or whatever it’s called, and the gratuitous seams down the front, seem very dowdy to me. And the shape of her body looks strange for some reason.

    Okay, I’ll stop now.

    I think its botox lol

  6. Jude says:

    Yeah, she doesn’t have a lot of facial expressions left, does she? Especially around the eyes and forehead…

  8. kids says:

    the kids live with tom and she visits, you didn’t think the mother would win against the scientology freak did you?

  9. Fleegle says:

    I sure wish I had 15-inch hips!
    It’s the mumsy hair.

    TOO MUCH BOTOX
    I guarantee u that stuff is not good for the bod, repurcussions down the road. I loved her in “Birth” and other films, but don’t get the whole Barbie thing…House of WAX KIDMAN…

  11. ER says:

    In these pictures she reminds me of Marcia Cross’ character Bree Van De Kamp on Desperate Housewives.

  12. millie says:

    kids.. I totally agree. Tom took those kids and brainwashed them. Now they’re probably not so crazy about seeing their mom, that is, even if he allows it, which is probably no more than a few times a year (like for her wedding). I recall reading interviews with Nicole in which she alluded to family problems (“I hope someday my children will love me..” that was heartbreaking:(. I bet she has to keep her mouth shut as per Tiny Tom/Scientology orders.

    she is gross – i cant stand her, has an evil face – i dont get her appeal at all…

  14. Poor Boopie says:

    Still lookin’ like a million bucks to me!

  15. Dee Bliss says:

    The face work probably cost a million bucks 🙂

    Did you see Nicole’s “nanna” hands in the pic where’s she’s “blowing a kiss”? Nicole has very old looking hands.

    1. The color is wrong and IS too close to her skin tone.
    2. I think the way she’s holding her head makes her neck look short (which you could infer as “frumpy).
    3. I think the conservative dress, i.e. no cleavage showing, makes us (the public) automatically think frumpy.

    Personally, I think she looks rather classy and elegant. Also, if you look at the close-ups you can tell there is no botox in there.
