Nicole Kidman displays her natural red curls as the actress leaves a soundstage in Sydney

In recent years she’s become known for her wavy strawberry blonde tresses.

But on Wednesday, Nicole Kidman, 54, put her natural curls on display, as the actress left a soundstage in Sydney. 

It was a throwback to the look the Australian star adopted in her early movies like Days of Thunder and Far and Away.

The Undoing actress was her usual chic self in a double-breasted coat worn over a white blouse and a black turtleneck.

On her lower half the ex-wife of Tom Cruise wore grey check pants and low-heeled patent leather shoes. 

Last year Kidman – who recently returned to Australia from a brief visit to the United States – courted controversy by avoiding Australia’s mandatory hotel quarantine on multiple occasions. 

In December, the Moulin Rouge star was allowed to skip hotel quarantine for the second time, both times bunkering down at her $6.5million Southern Highlands estate.

Nicole completed her 14 days of mandatory quarantine at her 45 hectare NSW property after a short trip to Ireland. 

The actress was required overseas to shoot scenes for Robert Eggers Viking epic, The Northman, alongside Alexander Skarsgård and Ethan Hawke.

Nicole flew to Belfast to shoot her part after wrapping on-camera work for HBO’s new series, Nine Perfect Strangers, in the NSW coastal town of Byron Bay.

History repeating: In December, the Moulin Rouge star was allowed to skip hotel quarantine for the second time

According to The Daily Telegraph, the A-list star was allowed to self-isolate at home again instead of staying at a state-approved hotel for 14 days, which is what the vast majority of international arrivals must do amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

According to the NSW Government website, people returning from overseas are only exempt from staying at a quarantine hotel if there are ‘strong medical, health or compassionate grounds’.

It is unclear under which grounds Nicole was granted her exemption.

By contrast, her Australia co-star Hugh Jackman completed his quarantine in a Sydney hotel, entertaining his fans with many amusing posts of his boredom killing exercises like catching blueberries in his mouth.
