With a theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" and a dress code of "Tailored For You," it's a given that Nicole Kidman's 2025 Met Gala dress would be altered to perfection. But the Babygirl actress took her interpretation to the next level—ensuring her lips received the same made-to-order treatment as her outfit. Not only that, the Oscar-winner debuted a fresh pixie cut on the red carpet!
There are a handful of commonly employed lip lining techniques that makeup artists like to whip out for a red carpet—over-lining the Cupid's bow, blurring the edges, or a stark contrast liner-lipstick color combo. But for Kidman's makeup artist Gucci Westman, tonight was about enhancing what was already there. "I wanted it to feel modern and fresh—flirty, feminine, and glowing skin," Westman exclusively tells Marie Claire. "For her natural lip look, I layered our new Lip Shape Lip Liner in Cou Cou, that's coming soon, with our new Lip Suede Matte Lipstick in Pinch."
