Nicole Kidman's Coastal Grandma Beach Outfit
Nicole Kidman Is the Ultimate Coastal Grandmother in Beachside Photoshoot
Nicole Kidman shared a couple of snaps from her Labour Day weekend, exhibiting the coastal grandmother trend to a T. The 56-year-old "Big Little Lies" actress walked along the ocean in a white blouse with billowing three-quarter sleeves, belted straight-leg jeans rolled at the hem for frolicking in the waves, and — the pièce de résistance — a raffia visor with a bow at the back, which complemented the loose sash at her collar. Kidman's hair was secured in a messy bun, with plenty of loose pieces framing her face. The effortless look felt romantic, driven home by a fan's comment left on her Instagram: "1989 (Nicole's Version)," referencing the similar vibe of Taylor Swift's fifth studio album.
The coastal grandmother aesthetic, coined by TikTok creator Lex Nicoleta, generally incorporates clothing details such as puff sleeves, crisp, white colourways, and beach hats. A waterfront setting also helps contribute to the look, so Kidman's photos are essentially spot-on. Beauty-wise, coastal grandmother makeup is easygoing, with light coverage courtesy of a sunscreen or perhaps a hydrating moisturiser. Kidman's natural appearance seems to fit the bill.
While it's unclear where she was holidaying, the star recently spent time in Nashville with co-producer and friend Reese Witherspoon, who is also known for her coastal grandmother tendencies through her brand Draper James. The two attended a football game together in relaxed outfits on 20 August. Earlier in the summer, Kidman flaunted an ab window cutout in a dramatic black Saint Laurent gown at the London premiere of "Special Ops: Lioness." Accessorised with sheer opera gloves, Harry Winston diamonds, and strappy sandals, the look was more of a glam take on quiet luxury, and a far cry from her off-duty coastal grandmother moment.
