When we think about stunning Met Gala looks we'll never forget, Nicole Kidman as co-host of the 2026 event fits the brief. In a red Chanel look featuring plenty of sequins and feathers, she amplified her entire look on Monday, May 4, with tresses that personified '70s California glamour. You know the look: long, thin, and middle-parted hair that always looks stunning, even after a touch of briny breeze has lifted it. She evoked the late Peggy Lipton in the best way possible.

Hair guru Adir Abergel created the bohemian look, saying in a press release, "The look channels an effortless French-girl je ne sais quoi, balancing polish with an air of ease." To create the Rapunzel-like lengths, Abergel added 24-inch extensions from the brand BHBD to Kidman's hair. For the finishing touch, he used Virtue Healing Oil on the tresses. "I warmed a few drops between my hands, gently tilted her head, and smoothed it through her long, golden locks for an added veil of luster and shine," he added.
The look was also another layer of age-defying beauty for the 58-year-old "Scarpetta" actor. As one fan commented on her Instagram post of the look, "Nicole only gets better, more talented, and more beautiful."
Nicole Kidman's daughter had twinning long hair at the 2026 Met Gala
If you need proof that Nicole Kidman's daughters grew up to be stunning, you would only need to look at 17-year-old daughter Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban at the 2026 Met Gala to be convinced. The model arrived at the gala in a strapless Dior gown alongside her mother, further adding a chapter to Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban's stunning style transformation.
Onlookers couldn't help but notice a matching moment between the two: Their glamorous hair both hit extreme lengths. Was it intentional? Per hairstylist Adir Abergel, who also styled Sunday's tresses, yes. "For Nicole and Sunday's first Met Gala together, I wanted to create a meaningful connection for this special moment. Hair became a subtle yet beautiful unifying thread, tying their looks together through a shared expression of modern elegance," he shared. Like Nicole's style, he added length thanks to 30-inch extension pieces and finished with Virtue hair oil to add lustrous shine. Ultimately, these two were stunners, and it was beautiful to see a mother-daughter duo so happy together.
