Nicole Kidman was all smiles as she arrived in New Orleans, shortly after captivating fans with a bold ‘re.venge’ appearance following her split from Keith Urban

Nicole Kidman was all smiles as she stepped off a private jet in New Orleans on Wednesday – just days after making headlines for her stunning “revenge dress” moment aimed at her ex, Keith Urban.

The 58-year-old Oscar-winning actress, whose split from the country singer was announced a month ago, looked effortlessly chic as she exited the aircraft and headed toward a waiting car.

For her day of luxury travel, the Babygirl star opted for a casual yet stylish look, pairing a long-sleeved gray sweater with olive-green pants. She completed the outfit with black-and-white striped Adidas sneakers and let her golden blonde hair fall naturally over her shoulders. A large black Chanel tote hung elegantly from her arm, carrying her essentials for the journey.

Kidman’s trip to Louisiana came just three days after she captivated audiences at Vogue World 2025, strutting down the runway in a jaw-dropping black “revenge dress” – a bold nod to her independence and confidence following her separation from Urban. It remains unclear why the actress traveled to New Orleans, though her ex-husband is scheduled to perform later this week in Baton Rouge at the Boots on the Bayou Music Festival.

However, it is not known what led Kidman to whisk herself away to Louisiana. Earlier in the day, she spoke on stage during the 2025 Texas Conference for Women in Austin 

Her latest appearance comes only days after Kidman showed her estranged husband what he is missing as she kicked off the Vogue World 2025 event over the past weekend on Sunday 

A Busy Week for the Star

Earlier that same day, Kidman appeared as a speaker at the 2025 Texas Conference for Women in Austin, where she shared empowering insights about resilience, beauty, and aging.

Her appearance followed a weekend of show-stopping glamour at Vogue World 2025, where she opened the star-studded fashion event. Kidman donned a strapless black gown featuring a daring front slit — a modern homage to Rita Hayworth’s iconic look from the 1946 classic Gilda.

The production began with Kidman appearing in a black-and-white Old Hollywood–inspired film clip, performing a playful musical number before stepping outside as the scene burst into color. Directed by her longtime collaborator Baz Luhrmann — who also directed her in Moulin Rouge! (2001) — the sequence symbolized both nostalgia and reinvention.

She accessorized the glamorous look with long black gloves, a sparkling silver necklace, and bold red lipstick, her voluminous hair cascading gracefully over her shoulders.

Late last month, it was revealed that Kidman and Urban have gone their separate ways following 19 years of marriage; seen in May in Texas 

Reflections on Aging and Confidence

In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Kidman reflected on aging gracefully and embracing self-acceptance.
“As I get older, I want to share the things I’ve learned,” she said. “I’ve seen a lot, experienced a lot, and survived a lot. I want to pass on that knowledge and wisdom, not by telling people what to do, but by sharing my experience.”

The actress also admitted she has learned to love her 5’11” height — something she once struggled with early in her career.“I used to twist my hip down and pretend I was smaller,” she recalled. “Now, I stand tall and own it.”

Still, she joked, “It would be nice to be a few inches shorter — it’s a better angle on camera.”

Inside the Split

Last month, it was confirmed that Kidman and Urban had ended their 19-year marriage. The couple shares two daughters — Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14).

According to sources, while the actress is in a positive place emotionally, she and Urban are still navigating the new family dynamic.

“The hardest part is managing the relationship with their daughters,” an insider told Us Weekly. “The last thing Nicole wanted was a broken family. She’s setting an example for her girls by staying strong and positive.”

Kidman is reportedly focused on “creating new traditions” with her daughters and maintaining a loving, stable home environment.

The source added that the Babygirl star “isn’t scrambling to find a new normal,” as the pair had been quietly separated for some time. “This next chapter feels more like a transition than a shock.”

The actress is also facing a new ‘dynamic’ with her two daughters amid her shock split. She shares Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, with the country singer; Kidman seen with teenage daughters earlier this month in Paris 

A Strong Bond with Her Daughters

Earlier this month, Kidman appeared with her daughters at the Chanel Spring/Summer 2026 runway show during Paris Fashion Week — their first public outing together since news of the split broke.

The trio posed for photographers before taking their seats among A-list attendees. Sunday Rose later shared photos from the event on Instagram, including a sweet candid of her mother smiling and flashing a peace sign.

Divorce documents obtained by the Daily Mail revealed that Kidman will be the primary residential parent, with custody of their daughters for 306 days of the year, while Urban will have 59. Both agreed to waive child and spousal support and will share court costs equally.

Kidman also has two adult children, Isabella (32) and Connor (30), from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.

Moving Forward

Reports suggest that Urban has begun seeing another musician, though details remain private. Rumors linked him to country singers Maggie Baugh and Kelsea Ballerini, but both have denied any romantic involvement.

Country artist Alexandra Kay recently defended her friend Maggie Baugh, telling Taste of Country, “She’s happy in her own relationship and has nothing to do with that situation. I just hope everyone finds peace – it’s sad seeing people’s personal lives picked apart like that.”

Sources close to the former couple say Kidman was “blindsided” by the separation. “Keith never sees Nicole – she’s always filming, and he’s always touring,” one insider explained. “There’s still love between them, and reconciliation isn’t impossible, but right now they’re living separate lives.”

Kidman and Urban, who married in 2006, have weathered nearly two decades of fame, distance, and creative demands. Whether their story ends in reconciliation or remains a chapter closed, both appear to be moving forward – with Kidman focusing on family and self-growth, and Urban returning to the stage.

According to divorce documents previously obtained by the Daily Mail , Kidman will become the primary residential parent of their two teenage daughters; seen in 2024 in North Carolina

Country star Alexandra Kay has since weighed in on the rumors surrounding Baugh and told Taste of Country, ‘I’m like, “She’s a good friend of mine and I know that’s absolutely not true”‘; Baugh and Urban seen in 2024 in Texas 

A Graceful New Beginning

As Nicole Kidman touched down in New Orleans, her radiant smile seemed to signal more than just travel fatigue – it reflected strength, freedom, and peace. After nearly two decades of marriage, she’s embracing her next act with the same grace and confidence that have defined her entire career.

In her own words: “I’ve survived a lot. Now I just want to share what I’ve learned – and live.”
