Nicole Kidman Stuns With Shocking New Look For Adult-Themed Series
Nicole Kidman is serving up a new look for her latest role, debuting a jaw-dropping transformation on the set of “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” the upcoming Apple TV+ series from A24.
Filming took place in Los Angeles on Thursday, where Nicole Kidman was nearly unrecognizable as she embraced a bold new look for the zany drama that explores the dangers of OnlyFans and the world of professional wrestling.
Kidman, who stars alongside Michelle Pfeiffer, Elle Fanning, and Nick Offerman, stepped fully into character with a taut, heavily made-up face and a hairstyle that demanded attention, dark red locks with chunky blonde highlights, styled into two high pigtails adorned with blue accessories.
The Hawaii-born Oscar-winning actress was seen wearing a royal blue printed, lace-trimmed cape over a red-and-blue leotard, pairing the look with scarlet red fishnet stockings and fiery lace-up boots in matching hues. It’s a bold move befitting a character deeply immersed in the chaotic world of wrestling, and fans can’t wait to see her in action.
Kidman and Fanning tackle fame and family baggage in the new Apple series.
“Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” based on the bestselling novel by Rufi Thorpe, centers on Margo Millet (Fanning), the daughter of a Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and a former pro wrestler.
Per the description: “Now an unemployed single mother in her early 20s, Margo is struggling to make ends meet, leading her to launch an OnlyFans account. When her father reenters her life, she starts incorporating his lessons from the pro wrestling world into her OnlyFans work, leading to unexpected success.”
The A-list ensemble includes Laura San Giacomo, Marcia Gay Harden, Michael Angarano, and Greg Kinnear. The project marks David E. Kelley’s return to Apple TV+ following “Presumed Innocent.” He writes, executive produces, and serves as showrunner for the series, reuniting with Kidman after their acclaimed collaboration on “Big Little Lies.” Kelley is also married to Pfeiffer.
Kidman, Pfeiffer, and Fanning are not just leading ladies because they’re executive producing the series, too. And their commitment shows in their head-turning costumes.
Pfeiffer looked every bit the glam matriarch with long blonde waves, matte makeup, and a statement outfit featuring a puffy dark jacket, black top, rhinestone-studded jeans, hoop earrings, and a cross necklace. She was spotted at a red table with a camera beside her, clearly in character.
Elle Fanning appeared straight out of a Melrose Avenue vintage haul, dressed in a red suede jacket, yellow-and-black top, beige lace skirt layered over white shorts, brown belt, and chunky boots.
Meanwhile, Nick Offerman brought a rugged edge to the set with a black tank top showing off his tattoos, black leather pants, motorcycle boots, and a gold chain that matched his earrings. His strong beard and buzzed haircut completed the tough look, and he carried an off-white tote while walking with a female assistant.
Kidman reflects on a jam-packed year and hints at a much-needed break. After headlining “Babygirl,” “A Family Affair,” and “Spellbound” in 2024, the Australian star has revealed that she plans to slow down in 2025.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Kidman said, “2025 is actually not as crazy. I was much more out there last year; this year, I have Holland and Nine Perfect Strangers, and then I’m off for the rest of the year. So, oh well!”
In “Holland,” Kidman stars alongside Gael García Bernal, Matthew Macfadyen, and Jude Hill in a thriller about a Midwestern teacher who suspects her husband is leading a double life. Kidman also produced the film, with director Mimi Cave calling her “a real champion of the script and a champion of me.”
Cave praised her star, noting, “She really believes in directors, so once it’s in my hands or any director’s hands, she lets you go.”
Macfadyen also had glowing praise for the project, saying, “I thought it was tonally really fascinating and stylised and stylish and fun. I’d seen Mimi’s first film and was so impressed with it and thought I just wanted to be part of it.”
Beyond the camera, Kidman continues to juggle family life as a mom to daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14, with husband Keith Urban, and adult children Bella, 32, and Connor, 30, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
