    Agree with comments on hair (although it’s her most flattering color) … I like the outfit overall … like the shoes but would have chosen a different color …

  2. Pink Coat

    I wish she would’ve stopped using botox on her lips too. They look especially fake in the last picture. The outfit and the fugly shoes plus the hair are all a hot mess!

  3. Another Jill

    BURN IT WITH FIRE
    The above comment applies to it all – including the hair and nails (gunmetal gray? WTF). Just terrible.

  4. Sara Jane

    The worst part is her lips, for sure. But I really don’t want to be mean to her when she looks so much more normal (relatively speaking) than she used to.
    Her hair is like she just straightened the front and the top before scraping it up in a ponytail and handing the kids to the babysitter before running out the door and forgetting she was still wearing the shoes from the previous outfit she tried on which is now on the bedroom floor.

  5. Lara

    I like this dress. But the hair and the shoes have to go.

  6. Marly

    There is NO WAY to unfug any of this. It’s all horrific.

  7. val.

    I liked the bangs in the first pic, but then when I saw the closeups I noticed that they look pretty terrible.

    The dress is interesting!

  8. Susan

    Oh my.

    Lose the bottom third immediately. I realize it will be short, but, oh well. Lose the sleeves too. And maybe cut the neckline down. Definitely the shoes must go far far away.

    What happened to Nicole and her fashion choices? I haven’t seen anything I liked for a long time.

  9. Stefanie

    To unFug follow these steps:

    Step 1. Remove dress
    Step 2. Throw in garbage
    Step 3. Find something else.

  10. Chicklet

    I would have liked the dress a lot better if it had been the bodice all the way down — in other words, the horizontal stripes in a sheath style. Lord knows Nicole has the body for it, and it would have looked great with her hair color. However, the shoes make no sense, and her hair is more “just had a major Zumba class” than “red carpet.”

  11. Softwear

    Unfug this? The keys would fall off my keyboard from sheer overuse if I tried. Nothing salvageable. Nothing.

  12. that girl

    I might not mind the shoes with a total different outfit.

    The dress is awful, there’s nothing that can be done to save it. The shiny velour stripes remind me of Ernie’s sweater and the striped velour tops that every child of the 70′s has been photographed in at least once. The whole thing just looks like an elementary school craft project gone horribly wrong.

  13. Sherri

    I have no problems with the top of the dress, but I hate the sheer tack-on-skirt thing. Just lengthen the top part a couple of inches and she’s good. Shoe color isn’t wowing me, but I still have my mother’s voice in my head insisting that things “match” and Clinton Kelly’s saying things must “go”. Those do neither. Metallic, maybe? Bronze or copper?

    Hair — Is she maybe growing it out and not getting it cut in the mean time? That really looks like a case of “what do I do with these pieces that won’t stay in the pony tail? I don’t want little clips or barrettes all over my head. Oh to hell with it.”

  14. Miss Tee

    There is nothing that can be done to save this woman. Nothing.

  15. AP

    I’m wagering that her bangs are clip-ons. And from the back, it looks like she does have extensions… I think I can see those little tiny braids at the base of her hair that people with extensions have…

  16. Cathy

    It looks like they started constructing the dress and ran out of shiny material halfway down.

  17. Paige

    Well, at least she looks happy.

  18. Anissa

    It would have worked better if the skirt was darker/more opaque like on the runway (but the model wore black tights so that may have changed the look a bit). Mostly I think it works for her.

  19. The Other Molly

    Another Jill said it best:
    BURN IT WITH FIRE
    From the hair right down to those ghastly shoes.
    Has Kidman quit looking in the mirror?

  20. Lionesska

    Terrible earrings! They must go. Leave the shoes as they will not be visible if you lenghten the dress from waist down with the same georgeous stripy velvety material to the floor, in a gently trapez-y way (and the peaking shoe-colour may go surprisingly nicely with the colours on the dress). Comb the fringe and bangles up into the pony tail. And we have a gorgeous Nicole in a non-banal outfit.

  21. TaraMisu

    I like the shoes, but with a different outfit. There’s “edgy” and then there’s just plain wrong.

    I can’t decide if I like the dress or not…. I’ll have to look at it some more. Her hair looks ok to me and I think the color suits her very well.

  22. Lady Satan

    This is un-Fug-able.

    Nicole: Brush your hair, lose the bangs, stop f-ing about with your lips, remove and burn that hideous collection of fabric wrapped around your body, and wash off half the make up. Then make a firm resolution to stop dressing in the dark, or while under the influence of some random chemical.

    Keep the shoes.

  23. deli

    DEAR GOD NO!!! This entire look is terrible, and there is no saving it!! Even her hair and face are bad, but the dress is the worst. Appalled that anyone would find this attractive.

  24. kirsty

    Cut off the sheer bit, make the mini and the shoes black and it would be fine

  25. AliceBlue

    She’s come a long way since she wore that chartreuse Dior gown to the 1997 Oscars. And not in the right direction.

  26. ak

    Oy vey. I think that’s all her own hair (check out the flyaways). I say we blame that on the two small children (no time for a haircut!) and blame the rest on a…stylist? The whole thing looks like a series of dresses I wore to formal events in early high school in the 1990s.

  27. Kate

    There’s no way she stopped doing Botox. Just sayin’. It’s like crack to middle-aged female celebs.

    I was half hoping there was some story that she got attacked on the way to the event. I can’t think of any other reason for that dress.

  28. AmandaD

    The outfit is isn’t salvageable. I do like her hair color, and wish she would let it go curly again.

  29. Dazie

    What.
    The.
    Heck.

    Did children make this for her? BLIND CHILDREN?

  30. Anne B

    Oh my God.

    THE OUTFIT: Looks like the 3-D equivalent of what a three-year-old does to a princess in a coloring book. “Gween! Shoes is poopul! … I done.”

    THE HAIR: Nicole has roughly the same type hair as I have, so I kinda sorta know what she did here. It took effort to look like this, if you can believe that. A terrible misfire, when she could have made other, simpler choices.

    THE FACE: There comes a point … I can’t look closely at her anymore.

    There. I said it.

  31. Willow

    This is a carcrash of monster truck proportions, not even the print is good!

    However I quite like her current hair colour, I’m a sucker for dusty red.

  32. kamo

    The top of her dress is giving me PTSD flashbacks to the circa 1995 striped velour t-shirts that i used to wear. THEY WERE POPULAR OKAY. *shudder.*

  33. anonymoose

    i love the shoes! they may not go with the dress, but i love the shoes!

    the garment looks like it’s made of upholstery remnants and sheer curtain lining, but this modern scarlett o’hara looks great in these colors.

    that said, this is the finest she has looked in recent memory. (for better or worse.) cannot bring myself to look closely at her injected distorted face, but from here it looks okay.

  34. Kate

    No fixing. Start over.

  35. Lesley

    “Charlie Brown’s homework”?? I am crying over here.

    She looks redonkulous.

  36. Danna

    It’s not possible to unfug it. It’s beyond horrid. Fire is the only answer.

  37. Sandra

    How can a beautiful woman with all the necessary resources available keep turning up in public dressed so dreadfully? Maybe the Nashville Junior League could help out. JL isn’t noted for being fashion-forward, but at least those women never show up dressed totally wrong.

  38. Claire

    I’m a Nicole fan but separate from that I know exactly what is going on with her hair. That is a day old blow dry. Her hair is both flat in the front and trying it’s damnedest to turn curly in the back. It’s the worst thing about humidity. Looks like a mom running out with not enough time.

    Don’t mind the dress. HATE the shoes. Love her.

  39. Billie

    She’s done it, she’s ruined her streak of being relaxed and gorgeous at Keith’s event.

    Yes, she looks dreadful. But also human. I’m hoping she had one of those ‘the kids are being hell today and I’m about to lose my shit … wait? what? I have a red carpet event tonight?? Oh holy hell just throw me whatever is nearest to me and let’s get this thing over with’ moments.

  40. vandalfan

    I detest her enough for three or four ordinary people, so I’m pleased by this. The shoes can go to some other actress, you know, a good one.

  41. Rose

    Those bangs make her look like the Me Gusta face!!

  42. CranAppleSnapple

    Unfug this? Start over. Blech.

  43. Susan

    Well, now that i know the dress is Proenza Schouler, I’ll have to revise my thinking.

    I love it.

  44. jnadreau

    I like the hair color on her, and the green of the dress suits her perfectly. Other than that, the rest is crap. Make the dress the same color of green (stripes excluded) all the way throughout, do a metallic shoe, and we’re good. Still trying to figure out whether or not she’s got clip-in bangs, because the color of the bangs doesn’t really match the rest of her hair.

  45. anny

    It’s like Scrolldown Entropy. (I have no explanation for the shoes.)

  46. acake

    The bangs worry more than the shoes.

  47. Kary

    Can we unfug her lips? Because seriously, I can’t see anything else in this picture.

  48. Jen

    This one made me gasp out loud.

  49. Jen

    She looks like a grown up Orphan Annie who never got rescued and has to make her clothes from old Miss Hannigan’s scrap bag. I vote unsalvageable.

    However, picture number 2 is awesomely awkward. I love Kidman Barbie!

  50. Edel

    Those bits at the side of her fringe are what happens when someone who has layers tries to tie back her hair, fails and says to herself ‘It’s fine, it’ll do, if I scrape it back with hairpins it’ll look weird.’

  51. Sarah

    This is maybe the worst look I have ever seen. The hair is inexcusable. The dress looks like it forgot to put on a skirt over it’s slip and ran into a pair of scissors at some point. Keith looks like he’s trying to run away from her in each of these pictures because of how horrible she looks. The shoes DO NOT help matters. Holy Fug Madness.

  52. annieb

    I own an lounge in that green fabric. It was my grandma’s.

  53. Lina

    Huh. This is such an interesting choice. I feel like they’re both doing a “Look, it’s just a video award, it probably won’t win, we’ll duck in, do the photos, and duck out as soon as we can” sort of thing. They’re not at any of the big award shows, after all. I’m partly tempted to interpret her dress choice as fashion commentary on just how much she’d rather be at home with the kids instead of stuck at the most useless awards show in the industry.

    The shoes, meanwhile, are great.

  54. Joey

    I feel like backing away slowly from this outfit, a la Keith.

    I love Nicole and I think she is messing with us. I think she’s just having fun now, dressing ridiculously. This doesn’t suggest desperation for attention. This indicates someone doing something crazy because they personally find it amusing and don’t expect others to get it.

    Or maybe she’s crazy now.

  55. Anita

    From the top of her head to her hips she looks OK. Shame about the rest of it.

  56. dee dum

    Awh leave her alone.. she’s pretty, happy and so cheerful now.

  57. Bambi Anne Dear

    The two things I don’t like about this is the tiny under dress not being denudedised enough by the net overlay and the long bit of the bangs. The green/blue material is gorgeous.

  58. Maretha2

    I can’t hate on this too much. She looks so much healthier, I like her hair color, I like the fun shoes and nail color. I’d shear off the sheer layer of the dress at the bottom and fix the bangs, and it works for me.

  59. zinjojo

    She needs to completely start over. All of it — hair, dress and makeup. And she really needs to stop the fillers and botox — she’s getting that ubiquitous look that you see with women who have had too much work done and then they all start to look the same. It’s a shame because she used to be so lovely and natural looking…

  60. ChaChaheels

    Charlie Brown should sue.

  61. Betty M

    I’m loving Nicole Kidman (shoes and all) but I am not loving that commercial for drain ckleaner which you are streaming next to her slideshow. Eeeeew!

  62. Jax

    What about Keith’s stupid bangs??? Nicole’s hair is nothing compared to that lame haircut. I keep waiting for him to get a new hair cut, because this has been so awful for so many many years.

  63. Jax

    I just saw Nicole in an old movie called Malice. It was so nice to see her pre-Botox. Gawd, she was quite lovely.

  64. Count Snarkula

    Oh honey no. The only thing I would keep out of that entire outfit is the wedding ring.

  65. Bessie Hsu

    What Happened!?!?! Nicole always looks great on the Red Carpet! The dress is just TOO busy with all these details and the shoes don’t go with the dress at all….. YIKES!

  66. Emma

    Her lips are still puffy and weird. There’s no way to unfug the dress, it’s awful. Love the shoes, but why is everybody wearing brightly coloured shoes that in no way coordinate with the outfit?

  67. RenaissanceGrrl

    What happened to her looking so much more stunning at Keith’s events than her own? =/

    At least she’s still redheaded, awful bangs or no. And I do like that she went with blue nail polish. But that’s about all the good I can say about it.

  68. Mukel

    LOL, Keith Urban has the stance of guy with the “dumb guy voice that every girl I know uses when she’s trying to make fun of a dude…” I use it regularly. It always starts off with “UHHHH…”
