Grace, Grit, and Chanel

Nicole Kidman is embracing change in more ways than one. Just a week after announcing her separation from country music star Keith Urban, the Oscar-winning actress has revealed a major new move in her career — returning to Chanel as a global ambassador.

The Big Little Lies and Moulin Rouge! star confirmed the news on Tuesday, October 7, in a statement celebrating her reunion with the storied French fashion house. The partnership comes as Chanel enters a new creative era under Matthieu Blazy, who recently took over as the brand’s artistic director.

“I am thrilled to be joining Chanel as it begins its new chapter with Matthieu at the helm,” Nicole Kidman shared, expressing her excitement over reuniting with the iconic fashion house.

The Oscar-winning actress, known for her timeless elegance and long-standing relationship with luxury brands, described her return to Chanel as both an honor and a creative revival. With Matthieu Blazy ushering in a new era for the legendary couture house, Kidman’s comeback signals a powerful blend of artistry and sophistication a partnership that celebrates heritage while embracing modern vision.

Kidman made the announcement through social media, sharing behind-the-scenes photos from Chanel’s Paris Fashion Week show, where she attended alongside her daughters and niece Lucia Hawley. Her appearance drew attention not only for her effortlessly elegant look but also because it marked one of her first major public outings since her split from Urban after 19 years of marriage.

Kidman officially filed for divorce on September 30 in Nashville, citing irreconcilable differences. She will serve as the primary caregiver for their two daughters, while Urban will share custody part of the year.

Their nearly 20-year marriage from a romantic Sydney wedding to countless red-carpet moments was among Hollywood’s most admired. Though the split marks the end of an era, Kidman’s calm grace and renewed focus show she’s ready for a new beginning.

Her return to Chanel symbolizes both a homecoming and a fresh start, reaffirming her place as one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons of style and sophistication.
