Last month Kidman was also snapped by paparazzi being picked up from a Los Angeles airport by the man rumoured to be her new beau, Michael Reinstein, thereby ticking off another of this summer’s biggest trends: a private equity boyfriend. New film, new man, new look. On the front of Vogue Kidman is wearing a rugby shirt, Rivals hair and the expression of a woman who has gained 20 years of her life back.
In more ways than are available to mere mortals, she has. Last October Kidman was announced as a Chanel brand ambassador once more, two decades after Karl Lagerfeld picked her to star in his Baz Luhrmann-directed No 5 adverts. Next month there’s the release of a sequel to the 1998 film Practical Magic, in which she reprises her sisterly turn with Sandra Bullock, 62, who says the whole thing felt “as though no time has passed at all”.
