Nicole Kidman’s Transformation From The 90s To Present Day Has Fans Saying: 'She Doesn’t Age'

In a 2018 chat with Glamour, the ever-radiant Australian actress spilled the beans on her secret to ageless beauty. She credits her glow to a regimen of top-notch anti-aging skincare and makeup products. "As we get older we can still look good, be healthy and vibrant and appealing," the mom of four told the outlet. "Nobody wants to look like you’ve had the life sucked out of you. I just say it’s about gracefully aging—because it can be fun," Kidman added.

One year prior, she dished to W Magazine: "Obviously, you need to use certain creams, and you need to use sunscreen, and you need to take care of yourself more. And that's why even something that's hydrating, because my skin tends to be dry, and my lips tend to be dry, so anything that says hydrating I'm like yes, please."

What Nicole Kidman Has Said About Anti-Aging Skincare

Kidman has praised products like Neutrogena's Rapid Wrinkle Repair line, Aquaphor and La Mer Crème in recent years. Kidman is a big advocate for sunscreen and staying hydrated, often highlighting the importance of these habits. Known for her use of SPF 100, she takes sun protection very seriously.

This commitment isn't just personal—she’s instilled these same values in her daughters, Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14, whom she shares with her husband of 18 yearsKeith Urban. Kidman also shares daughter Bella, 32, and son Connor, 30, with ex Tom Cruise.

"Because I'm so fair, I recommend even my girls, like my little girls, they wear the sunscreen too, because one of them is dark, and one of them is fair," Kidman told W Mag.

Kidman added: "I'm just so religious about it. It's just how I was raised, and it's why my skin now is, I think, far less damaged than it could have been." She stressed: "Because I still go to the beach, it's not that I don't go to the beach, and it's not that I'm not outside." The more you know!

Experts Weigh In On Nicole Kidman's Transformation

TikTok-popular plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, M.D., F.A.C.S., who hasn’t worked with Kidman, recently shared his thoughts with Life & Style, speculating that the Eyes Wide Shut star might have had a facelift and a few other subtle tweaks.

Speaking with the outlet, Youn explained: "It appears that Nicole has undergone a facelift, which has removed any drooping skin on her face." The doctor added: "She also may have undergone an endoscopic brow lift. This is a minimally invasive operation that lifts the brows higher without visible scars."

Youn surmises that the Big Little Lies actress and style icon may have undergone an upper blepharoplasty, commonly known as an upper eyelid lift, as well. "Her eyes look more open," he noted, also suspecting that she pursued a "conservative" amount of lip and cheek filler. Youn went on: "Overall, I think she looks tight and refreshed, like she’s aged in reverse."

While Kidman has yet to respond to these rumors and accusations, she has spoken about the topic of plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures before. In a 2013 interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Kidman said: "To be honest, I am completely natural. I have nothing in my face or anything."

She went on: "No surgery for me; I did try Botox, unfortunately, but I got out of it and now I can finally move my face again … I wear sunscreen, I don’t smoke, and I take care of myself, and I am proud to say that."

At the 2025 Golden Globes (above), Kidman stunned in a completely backless Balenciaga dress crafted from shimmering silver fabric, featuring a one-shoulder detail and a subtle train. She accessorized the look with silver jewelry, enhancing its elegance.

To elevate her glam, Kidman styled her blonde locks in a sleek updo, adding a voluminous clip-on ponytail for extra drama; her makeup featured bronzed cheeks and a soft pink lip, perfectly complementing her show-stopping ensemble.
