Nicole Kidman‘s signature blonde hair is part of her look, but instead of rocking her natural curls, she’s been stepping out in long wigs. However, her Met Gala wig is not sitting well with people.

As social media users reflect on the major fashion event, the Australian native’s look comes up a lot, not just because she was a co-chair this year, but also because her look sparked mixed reactions. Aside from her loud and dramatic Chanel gown, her long blonde hair, which appeared to be a full-blown wig, was not a hit in the eyes of fans and other internet users. Read more about it below.

Nicole Kidman Attends The Met Gala In A Long Blonde Wig

The award-winning actress has been regarded as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood for three decades now. Still, there's one part of her look that hasn't evolved a ton - her blonde hair. After rocking striking red hair for years throughout the 90s, more recently, she's made her signature look long, blonde hair.

 

Although Nicole has some beautiful natural curls that fans go crazy for, she tends to step out onto red carpets and premieres with wigs and extensions. Sometimes, they're seamless; other times, not so much. At the Met Gala, she posed on the red carpet along with her daughter, Sunday Rose.

 

She wore a striking red, sparkly custom Chanel gown covered in sequins and completed with oversized feather cuffs. With the dress, she wore what appeared to be a long, blonde wig with pin-straight locks and bangs that parted down the middle, taking up most of her forehead.

Social Media Slams Nicole's 'Terrible' Wig

After the massive fashion event, pictures of the Practical Magic star circulated all over social media, as despite her being a co-chair this year, she's made a reputation as one of the gala's most stylish and anticipated guests in years past.

 

However, not only did her dress disappoint some fashion enthusiasts, but fans overall were especially feeling let down by her wig. They found it to be unflattering, inappropriate for the occasion, and simply not her best look.

 

"I can't decide how I feel about the dresses bc im so distracted by the terrible wigs," commented a Reddit user. "Nicole Kidman's wig stylist irritates my soul."

 

"I would've loved for some wild curls from Nicole," echoed a user, referring to her natural hair texture. "I feel like that would've complemented the look."

 

Other users had issues with the long wig being seemingly unkempt, pointing fingers at both the actress and her stylist.

 

"Nicole could probably watch a few tutorials and install it herself better than what her stylist does," added a user, with another responding, "The hairs are falling out of the wig."

 

"Love the deep lipstick red color, and it looks good on her," wrote a fan. "The wig or extension blend is criminal, though."
