Nicole Kidman’s remarkably youthful red-carpet appearance has sparked a fresh wave of plastic surgery rumors.
The Oscar-winning actress, 59, is currently on a press tour advertising her latest film, Practical Magic 2, which will premiere on Sept. 10.
On August 31, she posed on a red carpet in Los Angeles with her sequel co-stars, including Sandra Bullock.
Bullock, 62, wore a chic black-and-white ensemble, while Kidman stunned in a sheer lace Versace dress with a plunging neckline, her long legs on full display, yet many online commenters focused on her taut face.

Internet personality and controversial plastic surgery enthusiast Oli London posted a video of Kidman on X and wrote in the caption, “Nicole Kidman stuns with her latest red carpet appearance as fans say the [59-year-old] looks ‘age-defying.’”
“Plastic surgery kind of does that,” one person quipped in a reply.
Another added, “Perhaps her plastic surgeon should be the one walking around being applauded. Kidman is 60. What’s commendable in having your face repeatedly altered to look like you’re not your age? She’s still 60—just with no natural face left.”

Despite the speculation, many commenters agreed that Kidman looked “fantastic.”
One popular tweet that got over 38,000 likes read, “I wanna give a kiss to the surgeon who made her face look like Nicole Kidman in her prime instead of a Botox clump.”
Another person wrote, “She looks amazing, and she has a young spirit. People who look young are the ones who stay healthy, exercise, moisturize, and have a positive attitude.”

Kidman has long sparked plastic surgery rumors, especially after filing for divorce from her husband of almost two decades, Keith Urban, on Sept. 30, 2025.
Since then, many fans have pointed out the actress’s so-called “post-divorce glow up.”

In the comment section of an Instagram video Kidman posted from the premiere, fans commented on her “sensational” look.
“Why do women look prettier single?” one fan asked. Another admirer wrote, “Today, age is just a number. She’s a queen.❤️”

Although Kidman hasn’t commented on the plastic surgery rumors, she spoke to Allure in August about her ability to change her appearance to whatever a role demands.
“I’m grateful to have what I have and to be able to use it,” she said. “I also think because of my coloring and the way in which my face is structured, I can morph and change so easily because I don’t really have any dominant features.”
