Ever since The Great Escape of Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise’s second wife, Nicole Kidman, has been keeping a much, much lower profile. Sources claimed that Nicole was pretty much “in hiding” for weeks after Katie Holmes filed for divorce, and Nicole purposefully did NOT issue any kind of direct statements either way, in support of Tom or in support of Katie. Of course, some sources claimed that Nicole was definitely Team Holmes, and even offering Kate some support (via phone calls). Some other sources claimed that Nicole couldn’t publicly take sides against Tom, and that if she was forced to come out and say anything, she would have to support Tom – because otherwise Isabella and Connor would be sent to Sea Org or something. Anyway, Tom and Katie settled everything very quickly and thus, Nicole did not have to take sides or issue any kind of statements. She still kept her head down… until now!
These are photos of Nicole over the weekend in London. She’s one of the faces of Omega, and she attended an Omega event, and then saw some of the Olympic events. For the Omega event, Nicole wore this navy blue Azzedine Alaia dress and Manolo Blahnik shoes. Some sites are claiming the dress is black, but I’m pretty sure it’s navy, right? Right. Alaia does a lot of narrow, close-cut dresses and gowns for tall Amazon women, so I’m kind of surprised to see this silhouette from the label, especially with the fuller skirt. It’s okay on Nicole – I don’t know, though. I think it’s a bit cutesy for her, honestly. That skirt flounce screams “Zooey Deschanel” to me.
HER LIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katie Holmes In Azzedine Alaia
OMG it’s the same dress

Not even close, similar shoes though.
Not the same dress by a LONG shot. It does, however, give me an extreme flashback to the grey dress Katie wore to The Kennedys premiere.
Nicole looks beautiful. Her lips Needed to be plumped a bit! Remember how thin they were in that movie she did where she was stuck on that boat??? She looks fantastic.
I agree her lips, and face for that matter, are perfectly fine!
she’s giving a serious case of crazy eyes. I really like her shoes.
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing. It’s probably because her forehead is botoxed within an inch of it’s life. Why do women do this to themselves? She looks ridiculous! The lips, the forehead. Sigh and I bet she’s on of the one who swears they have never had anything done.
She is. She says she swims a lot.
I love the dress. It’s looks great on Nicole, as do the shoes, I think she looks wonderful.
I think the dress is wonderful, I’d love to own it .. except I’m far too short and busty to ever carry it off. I love it on her, though. The dress paired with the shoes, though, eh. I can’t get behind that pairing.
Nicole is so beautiful
meeeh….
double meeeh…
she looks gorgeous, her face looks great. I am tempted to try botox, anybody on here do it? i would love to get some feedback from people that use it.
In the 3rd photo you can tell the HUGE amount of foundation Nicole is wearing…..
As Nicole has gorgeous skin (avoiding the sun her whole life + sunscreen)…I feel like she’s wearing that much to mask her eye/nose wrinkles which are harder to get rid of with botox.
*Sigh*…I always love celebrities that wear minimal foundation a la Halle Berry, Nicole, Angelina Jolie, Charlize…but lately Charlize and Nicole have been wearing a lot.
She is beautiful and nice (compared to.. Julia R:o)
I love Nicole
I wish she would stick to red hair because it warms her up so much but I understand that now that she’s over 40 the grays start coming in and you have to pretty much go blond or color your hair all the time.
I like Nicole in action but in photos she is so cold looking
I like her with the red hair too, but I wish she would style her hair with more sophistication.
Like her acting and like this dress on her. And she does seem like a nice person. But she’s been plumping her lips and face again..why grr! Her eyes are so lifted and she has the Botox crazy eye look, she needs to stop, it is Stepford like. Why does she do this?!
Yeah her face looks freshly jacked here, which is probably why she’s been keeping a low profile more than anything else. At least her eyebrows aren’t pulled back toward her hairline like they have been in the past.
I am fascinated by why a woman so naturally beautiful chose to mess with her face so much.
I do like the dress on her, it has a retro vibe yet is mod and fresh.
+1 on everything you said except I do think her brows are pulled to the heavens.
Good lord woman, stop messing with your face!
Oh how I wish she’d go back to her natural curls. They were frizzy but they were beautiful. Natural curls are making a come back! I like her with more red in her hair, doesn’t wash her out as much when the cameras flash
I have really curly hair and I can say that continual styling wrecks the curl. When you constantly brush and hot curl or flat-iron curly hair, as it grows the hair that has been styled will not curl. She’ll basically have to let ALL that hair grow out and NOT style it for the curl to return.
But… I don’t think that her hair will ever be as curly again. Nic’s hair looks a lot thinner than it did when it was really curly. In order for the hair to curl it wraps around itself and forms a little curl. When you loose hair due to age or over styling then the hair that is left does not have the all the hair to wrap around and support each other. What’s left still twines around, but just ends up a fuzzy mess.
As far as the red – red-heads go gray very early. I think that Nic may have a lot of gray.
She’s looking better these days. Glad to click the news link of that Omega party, happy to see Jarvis Cocker and Steve of Pulp.
Thanks for the tip. I passed on the link in the article and then clicked on it because of your comment. Jarvis!
I like her dress and love her shoes.
She looks fine, not spectacular but fine.And there is no rule one has to look sensational every day of the week.Comfort has its value too.
“Alaia does a lot of narrow, close-cut dresses and gowns for tall Amazon women..”
O.o Excuse me. Tall women are not Amazonian.
I caught that, too.
*Turtle Dove and Nymeria stand united against “heightism”*
It’s navy…and fabulous. I know she’s an unpleasant witch, but she looks great. And her wee husband is a piece.
His hair kills me. I imagine him spending hours in front of the mirror every day ironing it, after he’s waxed his chest. Ick.
His hair is gross. Whoever told him it was a good idea should be fired.
dress looks fabulous from the waist up but would prefer a straight, knee length skirt instead of the too youthful ‘flounce’..don’t like the shoes with it either. Gorgeous legs though, still, it’s too girly girl for a woman her age.
Nicole was not hiding she filming a movie and before the whole Tom/kat thing happend the last time Nicole was seen was on her birthday other then that there were no pictuers of her. Stop try to make it more then what it is.
I highly doubt she was in hiding. She has her own life, her own kids, husband, career. She wont do anything for Tom or Katie at this point …. give me a break.
She looks great. At her age why not get some help, those that do nothing — and I mean nothing at ALL look horrid ( yes there are exceptions my grandmother was one… flawless skin, no wrinkles but she as a bit chubby so that helped) but its an exception not a rule…and I think she looks great.
Not over done at all .. yeah she gets Botox, but she doesnt look like Kim K or Cindy Crawford ..
Are you serious? She doesn’t look like her old -real- self anymore. It’s not ‘a little help’ it’s a totally new face.
Her lips are hideous and I’m not even talking about everything else.
Nicole was beautiful. Look on IMBD to see her radically changed face. Plus the high forehead hairstyle is dreadful. Nicole is a fine actress though. Meryl Streep has aged gracefully, and still gets work..i truly admire Meryl. Nicole looks better now-she has curves.
Her styling has really gone off the rails imho. That navy dress is so tight on top she looks like a blue sausage. The skirt is too short, too Zoey, and makes her look silly. And the way her hair is pinned back? Good LORD that’s just awful. No one can maintain the magnificence of youth but at LEAST look in the mirror? And the shot of her at the Olympic event reminds me totally of Gina what’shername from Thelma & Louise. At least SHE had funny teeth to explain her lip placement…
I love the shoes.
I seriously doubt that Nic cares one bit about the Tom and Katie divorce, especially after Katie said Nic’s kids call her Mom. Nic has moved on, now she needs to stop jacking with her face.
And her little man Keith with is perfectly colored long locks looking after her -Bless his little hobbit heart.
LOL XD
“Strained” is the perfect word . . .her face looks so stretched out and unnatural. Makes my face hurt a little. We’ll never get the original Nicole back but still I wish . . .
Actually, Alaia is much more known for that kind of dress. Just look through the archives of redcarpet-fashionawards: http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com/category/blog/blog-designers/azzedine-alaia
Definitely navy, & Deschanel-esque. But the shoes are killer!
She’s back to filler and tweaking.
Aside from her lips of doom, look at her cheeks and her forhead, that can’t move anymore.
Seriously she never learns, does she?
That is a great dress in white or blue..
Kidman has a case of the crazy eyes in the fourth pic. Sooo intense. Perhaps she’s just really really enjoying being the center of attention?
I really can’t criticize her for her lips because girl had NO lips before, thin lips are just the worst.
LOVE Alaia, but wouldn’t this have been an awesome opportunity for some fashionable sportswear?
She looks very strained. Her artificially smooth face looks so tight, it’s painful to watch. She’s always styling herself like a little girl/doll – pins in her hair, cute little dresses etc. but this dress is too young for her, period. The top of it is fine but the bottom looks ridiculous on a woman over 40. Gentle A-line or smooth and straight would have been so much better. And the length just above the knees would have been far more elegant. She looks like she’s trying too hard.
She looks gorgeous- just a bit too plastic in the face
I’ve been hoping for the ultimate Nicole Kidman redemption. That would have been Katie commenting publicly on her divorce, “Tom knows what happened”.
It’s her hairdos. They are so dated and stiff.
The dress is fab and it looks great on her. Not sure about the shoes with that dress, and definitely needs to update her hair.
I never understand Kaizer problem with Nicole’s lips. They look fine. Nicole is stunning.
Blech to the shoes; everything else is fine. She is a smart cookie and I hope Katie can do as well for herself in the weeks/months/years to come.
I think Nicole looks classy, sophisticated and not overly done or gaudy, as do so many women. I also like understated jewelry. She looks great in Navy with her soft coloring. But our eyes are drawn too much to the shoes because they are a bit too overly complicated for the look of the dress. That’s my only negative comment, otherwise, a Great look!
She looks good.
Are all her husbands short?
She puts other women to shame with her beauty.
Love the look and love her.
The dress and the side barrette hairstyle are way too young for her. She looks like a little girl.
The dress looks so simple yet so chic. Nothing too exciting about it, but that’s very Nicole.
Kidman has always been a quiet person, not likeable by women though. But I like her, I think she’s a very ballsy actor with a diverse body of work.
Liked the dress, too. Not the shoes, though.
Kinda funny that she gets criticized for her looks, yet she’s still getting top recognition. That’s talent.
Here’s hoping Nicole wins the Emmy this year after losing the Oscars (Best Actress)last year to Natalie.
Ugh…just….ugh. Botoxy…way too much…yeah the lips look as if they were sewn on her face.
But what disturbs me most….the god-awful hairstyle. What up w/her pulling all her hair back showing her GIGANTIC forehead. It’s just not flattering AT ALL!
Poor Nicole.
When I saw that first picture I thought it was Gina Davis . . . .
