At theFashionSpot, the renowned beauty magazine Allure has gradually slipped from our essential reading list in recent years. This shift is mainly due to its transition to exclusively digital publication as of December 2020, which has impacted how its covers resonate with audiences. The last time this Condé Nast-owned publication truly captivated our attention was around this period last year when Willow Smith graced its cover. Now, Jessica Cruel, the editor-in-chief since 2021, has invited the iconic Nicole Kidman to feature on the cover of Allure for May 2025. The celebrated Australian-American actress poses for the talented photographer Dan Beleiu accompanied by stylist Shiona Turini. In this dynamic cover shot, Kidman showcases a daring new look, sporting a striking Balenciaga outfit and a vibrant red bob hairstyle.

“I have to commend Nicole Kidman for her dedication to these photoshoots. It’s rare to see a celebrity willing to sport such unflattering wigs,” remarked forum member Avonlea, highlighting the boldness of Kidman’s choices.
“She’s amassing quite the collection of terrible wigs, almost like a Pokémon trainer,” jokingly commented Marc10, emphasizing the unique aesthetic of the shoot.
GivenchyHomme echoed the sentiment, stating, “I adore her, but I can’t defend her on this one. The wigs are undeniably awful!” showing a mix of admiration and critique.
“At this point, it would be quite a statement to see her real hair,” suggested forum member Lucien112, indicating a desire for authenticity amid the bold styling choices.
“All I can think of is Milla Jovovich in The Fifth Element. While I appreciate the hair color on Nicole, it’s all just reminiscent of cosplay,” expressed vogue28, reflecting a critical but creative perspective.
“I admire her willingness to take risks in every facet of her career. While I don’t necessarily love this shoot, she is definitely delivering something interesting! I’m not bored at all,” argued KoV, showcasing the diverse opinions within the community.
“This feels like a waste of resources for Condé Nast,” concluded thatshadedglaze, providing a critical viewpoint on the editorial choices made.
