A fourth shared: "I really wish she would stop messing with her face now."
Nicole faced similar scrutiny when fans said she appeared puffy and wrinkle-free in an Instagram photo with Expats director Lulu Wang.
Despite speculation that she has undergone plastic surgery, the Moulin Rouge star denied ever going under the knife in a 2007 interview with Marie Claire.
“To be honest, I am completely natural,” she told the magazine. “I have nothing in my face or anything. No surgery for me.”

However, three years later, she admitted to getting injections.
“I tried Botox but I didn't like how my face looked afterwards. Now I don't use it any more and I can move my forehead again.”
During the interview, Nicole credited her look to sports and good nutrition, adding that “most things don't make a difference.”
Her bold look sparked strong fan reactions online, with some comparisons to Mel B, aka Scary Spice, and "cat woman" Jocelyn Wildenstein

The cast also includes Laura San Giacomo, Marcia Gay Harden, Michael Angarano, Greg Kinnear, Lindsey Normington, Rico Nasty, and Michael Workèyè.
After a project-packed 2024—Nicole starred in Babygirl, A Family Affair, The Perfect Couple, and Spellbound—the Aussie star said she's planning to take a break this year.
"[2025 is] actually not as crazy," she told The Hollywood Reporter.
"I was much more out there last year; this year I have Holland, I have Nine Perfect Strangers and then I'm off for the rest of year. So, oh well!"

In Holland, Nicole plays a teacher in the Midwestern town of Holland, Michigan, who suspects her husband (played by Matthew Macfayden) of living a double life. The film was released on Amazon Prime Video on March 27.
The Oscar winner also served as a producer on Holland. Director Mimi Cave said she was "a real champion of the script and a champion of me, so I think that's the largest contribution to be honest.
"She really believes in directors, so once it's in my hands or any director's hands, she lets you go."
Meanwhile, in Nine Perfect Strangers, Nicole stars as healing guru Masha, who welcomes different guests at her wellness resort and uses unorthodox methods to achieve her results.

For season two, the star said goodbye to her strawberry blond hair and wore a platinum bob wig, a transformation that sparked plenty of comments online.
“The wig is perfect,” one fan said, while another declared, “Best Supporting Actress goes to Nicole Kidman’s wig.”
Others disagreed, writing, “Her wigs have been so bad lately” and saying they preferred her with red/strawberry blonde hair.
"I think it's so different from anything I do. There's such a kind of a mischievous quality to her," Nicole told Vanity Fair of the role. "She's not what she seems, which is always a wonderful thing to play."

The second season, set to premiere on Prime Video on May 22, will see the enigmatic wellness guru moving from a California resort to a luxurious chalet in the Austrian Alps.
"You put them in the snow because it's almost like you can't escape, but it's still very beautiful. It's not sort of that gray, cold, bleak environment. It's still very alluring."

"She was my compass in a way," she expressed.

"It's like losing that, but at the same time going, 'Okay, well, this is for her then.'"
She continued: "So much of what she wanted for my sister and I was to create women in this world who felt like they could express themselves and have opportunities, especially things she didn't have from her generation.
"She loved my career, she really did. She would be there through all the ups and downs, all of it."

It's no coincidence that Nicole has been picking projects with female directors at the helm. Most of her recent films and shows, including Holland, Babygirl, The Perfect Couple, Expats, and The Undoing have been directed by women.
"We as women have to support female directors. Hopefully, it will change over time, but everybody keeps saying, 'Oh it's so different now, oh it's so different now,' and it isn't," she said.
