Nicole Kidman shared a couple of snaps from her Labor 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 colorways; 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 moisturizer. Kidman's natural appearance seems to fit the bill.
While it's unclear where she was vacationing, 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 soccer game together in relaxed outfits on Aug. 20. 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." Accessorized 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.
