Nicole Kidman has sent fans into a frenzy after sharing a series of breathtaking photographs from her family vacation in Iceland.
The 59-year-old actress looked incredible as she slipped into a tiny blue bikini while relaxing in a hot tub aboard a luxury yacht, taking in the spectacular ocean views around her.
Nicole appeared completely at ease as she rested her arms along the edge of the hot tub and gazed out towards the horizon, with her blonde hair swept into an effortless bun.
The Big Little Lies star shared the photographs on Instagram on Wednesday, telling her 11 million followers that the vacation had been the “trip of a lifetime”.

“We love you Iceland!!” she added.

Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for Nicole’s followers to react to the glamorous vacation snaps, with many particularly taken by the return of her naturally curly hair.
“Curls are the best. Reminds me of your early movies,” one follower wrote beneath the post.

The comments are hardly surprising. Nicole’s tumbling strawberry-blonde curls became one of her signatures when she first shot to international fame in films including Days of Thunder and Far and Away, before she increasingly began wearing her hair straighter in later years.
The star has been embracing her natural texture more frequently in recent months, and the Iceland photographs offered perhaps the most striking throwback yet.
Another beautiful photograph showed Nicole standing against Iceland’s rugged coastline with her curls tumbling around her shoulders.
Keeping things understated for the chilly surroundings, she teamed an oversized charcoal sweater with loose black pants and dark sunglasses.
In a second shot from aboard the yacht, Nicole wore the same cozy sweater with relaxed blue jeans as she leaned against the railing, the dramatic Icelandic mountains and water stretching out behind her.
The Oscar winner appeared fresh-faced with minimal makeup, allowing her famous curls to take center stage.
The photographs mark another glimpse inside Nicole’s life following a period of major personal change. She filed for divorce from Keith Urban in September 2025 following 19 years of marriage. The former couple share daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
Nicole made it clear that this wasn’t simply a solo escape, revealing in her caption that she had been joined by family and friends for the spectacular adventure.

Nicole has also been candid about entering a new phase of her life following her divorce, recently speaking about the importance of remaining open to whatever comes next.
In an interview with British Vogue, the actress reflected on navigating change and said she wanted to continue “embracing love, staying open, keeping the heart open and the possibilities.”
