Kidman’s latest “viral moment” came last October, a week after the announcement that she and Urban were separating, when she arrived at the new Chanel designer Matthieu Blazy’s debut show in Paris. This time she was in nothing more fussy than a man’s white shirt and pale blue jeans — a new look by the label so hot off the catwalk it hadn’t even appeared there yet. With Kidman were both of her daughters.
“These kids, that’s what we drop everything for,” Kidman says in Vogue. “I have had so many older women in my life who were incredible mentors — I know who I am.” There are few things in fashion quite as anticipated as a September issue of Vogue. It’s the glossy, grown-up equivalent of a first-day-of-school outfit. But it also serves as one of the biggest beauty moments of any given year. So when British Vogue put Nicole Kidman on its September 2026 cover, photographed by Venetia Scott, the shoot did not disappoint—particularly if you enjoy a beauty look that makes you do a little bit of a double-take.
