IBFEの続き (第4) 。 プラスチック＆エラスティック。2026年のニコール・キッドマンの不気味な表情 Continuation of IBFE (4th). Plaste & Elaste. Creepy look by Nicole Kidman in 2026.
Nicole Kidman visited Christie’s headquarters at Rockefeller Center in New York last month. The reason for her visit? An encounter with Constantin Brancusi’s Danaïde, the sculptor’s golden portrait of his muse from 1913. In a short video produced by Christie’s, set to David Bowie’s Song ‘Golden Years’, Kidman, herself a lover and supporter of the arts, approaches the work in Christie’s Rockefeller Center galleries. The turning world around her stops, and, feeling the beauty and history emanating from the golden sculpture, she is transported to a dream state, where she experiences joy, excitement, passion, curiosity and appreciation. Kidman embodies what engaging with art can feel like for anyone.
However, when reading the comments below the video, you understand what kind of anomaly situation occurred.
Nicole Kidman visits Constantin Brancusi’s ‘Danaïde’ | The S.I. Newhouse Collection | New York
Nicole Kidman enters the dreamscape of Constantin Brancusi’s Danaïde in our cinematic short film.
Set to David Bowie’s Golden Years, the film moves between past and present as Kidman steps into our galleries and encounters Brancusi’s sculpture, inspired by his muse Margit Pogany and suspended somewhere between memory, myth and modernity. As Kidman circles the sculpture, the legacy of Danaïde comes into view. She is the beginning of modern sculpture, an inflection point in art history — a new vision that deviated from centuries of art.
In her gaze, Kidman is transported to a world of joy, mystery and charm. Such is the power of Pogany’s enduring likeness, more than a century later.
Discover Brancusi’s Danaïde from the Si Newhouse collection at our Rockefeller Center galleries in New York, now through 18 May: https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-…
As always, our exhibition is free and open to the public.

Comments on youtube:
– I like the whimsy. It’s really nice to see an older actress maintaining her star power and refusing to just be sent out to pasture.
– You know who’s another great artist? Nicole Kidman’s cosmetic surgeon. It’s like she never aged.
– yes, surely Americans need to give these poor celebrities at least something 😂
– It’s ridiculous.
– This is like an SNL digital short for a new perfume, eau d’ cringe.
– Talk about an AMAZING work of art! At 58 years old, Nicole Kidman is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. Oh… and the OTHER works of art are also amazing!
– Brancusi must be turning over in his grave
– I don’t think Brancusi would appreciate this. Take a look at photographs of his studio. The contrast couldn’t be more glaring. It’s a tragedy he cannot defend himself against such appropriation. It’s disgusting.
– Nicole Kidman in Twin Peaks white lodge ))
– THAT… is plain silly.(to put it very nicely)
– Was?? DAS soll die Kidman sein? Niemals, die sieht ganz anders aus!!!
– Get that vampire away from the Brancusi.
– What nonsense! To say that Nicole Kidman is dancing here is self-promoting hype. The sculpture is a beautiful, inspired work, and dance is meant to inspire,; the only thing Kidman, who is a fine actress, inspires here is a yawn.
– It’s not a perfume Nicole. And you are far too talented to be a spokesmodel. Christie’s is already in the gutter, but now you have joined them there. And neither of you is looking at the stars.
– This iteration of Nicole Kidman is as expressive as the statue. At least the statue has the excuse of being made of bronze. Possibly Nicole too, come to think of it. You never know what plastic surgeons are using these days.
– Why is she staring at a melting piece of Ferraro rocher? also I can’t wait for Katya to make a spoof out of this ahahahaha Nicole Kidman is offensively overacting it’s crass
– This is cringe
– a new face entirely remade, horrible

Quote from baerfaxt:
Still, that didn’t stop at least one house from relying on a good-old-fashioned marketing stunt. It was mentioned in last week’s newsletter, but the utter bizarreness of Nicole Kidman’s promotional video for Christie’s deserves another look. In the David Bowie-soundtracked clip, the actress dances around the aforementioned Brancusi sculpture with an energy that recalls both Elaine Benes’s “little kicks” and one of those inflatable tube men in a used car lot. The long tradition of unintentionally hilarious auction house promotions just got another entry.
P.S. This may not count, but we here at NoReserve simply can’t pass up an opportunity to share the music video for Simon de Pury’s sublime Europop cover of “If I Had a Hammer.”
Nicole Kidman, in 2 weeks 59 years old, has never publicly confirmed the exact number of facial surgeries she has had, and rarely speaks about plastic surgery. However, she has admitted to trying Botox in the past, though she says she was dissatisfied with the results. Experts often speculate publicly about the following procedures:
Botox and fillers: It is believed that she has regularly undergone minimally invasive treatments such as Botox for wrinkle smoothing and fillers (e.g., lip injections).
Laser treatments: Her strikingly smooth skin is often attributed to laser or ultrasound treatments.
Since her face has changed significantly over the years (particularly her facial expressions and her extremely smooth complexion), I can speculate that she has undergone a series of procedures: Minimally invasive treatments like regular injections of hyaluronic acid fillers in the midface and lips, as well as ongoing Botox injections, a possible surgical nose job (rhinoplasty), an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), and a subtle facelift to tighten facial contours, regular high-end treatments such as laser resurfacing, microneedling, or Ultherapy.
I really do NOT like this kind of development! It disgusts me. It’s an affront to peers, whether male or female, it doesn’t matter. No one looks like that at 59. Kidman’s behavior symbolizes a hidden, subtle racist ideology.
If you were considered pretty when you were young, don’t worry, you’ll still be seen as attractive and beautiful as you get older. Go ahead and show off your wrinkles, Nicole Kidman. You look unnatural now, almost frighteningly creepy.
Your behavior, your public appearance, is heading in the wrong direction. You have a bad influence on women. This is also true in the, universally seen, broader context of gender. You are playing dangerously with fire, as you are displaying a nasty kind of ignorance and arrogance.
Please change your attitude.
Nicole, you look so eerie plastic.

Keri Russell, 49, slams Hollywood plastic surgery trends: ‘I like the way I look’
Oct. 20, 2025
Keri Russell, 49, is speaking out about the pressure to get plastic surgery in Hollywood.
“It’s something my girlfriends and I talk about all the time. Plastic surgery is having such a moment right now — men, women, 20-year-olds. I mean, it is around,” she told People in an interview published Sunday.
“We’re inundated with these movie stars,” she explained, without naming names. “Even though they might be 50 or 60 years old, they look amazing.”
Talking about watching herself on her Netflix political drama “The Diplomat,” she added, “I watch this show and I’m like, I do not look like that, you know. I like the way I look on the show, and it’s amazing that I feel like that’s strange, like that’s a unique thing to look like that, but it is.”
The actress has been in a relationship with her “The Americans” co-star Matthew Rhys, 50, since 2014. The pair share son Sam together. She’s also mom to kids River and Willa with her ex-husband Shane Deary.
“It’s such a weird thing being a woman,” she told the outlet. “Everyone has an opinion about the way you look, the way you dress, the way your hair is. It’s just the nature of our society.”
Her show “The Diplomat” addresses such topics.
“I like how cranky she is about it, and how she’s always trying to fight people about it, and is rude about it. I love it. I find it delightful,” she said, referring to her character Kate. “It’s like a fun thing to play.”
Russell is no stranger to stirring up conversation about her appearance. When she was starring on “Felicity” from 1998 to 2002, she infamously cut her long curls, causing public controversy.
In a July interview posted on Imagine Entertainment’s Instagram, she recalled that series creator JJ Abrams called her to tell her, “We have this idea that the boyfriend breaks up with you, and then, like college girls do… you go and cut your hair. Would you be willing to do that?’ I said, ‘Yeah, of course.’ And so we did it, and there was this crazy backlash.”
“I did not expect all the hysteria,” she said. “Strangers did come up to me on the street and say things like, ‘You were so pretty before you cut your hair.’”
“The Diplomat” Season 3 even included a reference to the public conversation about her hair.
During the fourth episode, Kate gives a stern talking-to to a Secret Service agent who is supposed to be her double.
“It’s not like I don’t wash it. I do. And I comb it,” she said onscreen, referring to her tousled hair.
“It’s a style. That style is: not looking like you spend hours [doing your hair], because some people have more important things to do. It’s not: couldn’t get the top up on the convertible.”
Russell told People, “People like to talk about my hair. I don’t know what to say. People care about my hair.”
Referring to “The Diplomat” poking fun at it, she said, “Oh my God, I love it. I think it’s great.”
ケリー・ラッセル（49歳）、ハリウッドの整形手術トレンドを批判：「今の自分の見た目が好き」
2025年10月20日
ケリー・ラッセル（49歳）が、ハリウッドにおける整形手術へのプレッシャーについて発言した。
「女友達とよく話題にするの。今、整形手術がすごく流行ってるわ——男性も女性も、20代もね」 つまり、そこら中に溢れているの」と、日曜日に公開されたピープル誌のインタビューで語った。
「私たちはこうした映画スターたちに圧倒されている」と彼女は説明し、具体的な名前は挙げなかった。「たとえ50代や60代でも、彼らは驚くほど若々しく見える」。
Netflixの政治ドラマ『ザ・ディプロマット』で自身の姿を見た感想について、彼女はこう付け加えた。「この番組を見ると、私はああはなってないな、って思うの。番組の中の自分の見た目は好きだけど、それが変に感じられること自体が不思議で、そういう見た目って珍しいことなんだよね。でも現実なのよ」。
女優は2014年から『ザ・アメリカンズ』で共演したマシュー・ライス（50）と交際中だ。二人は息子サムを共に育てている。また、元夫シェーン・ディアリーとの間にもリバーとウィラという子供がいる。
「女性であるって本当に奇妙なことよ」と彼女はメディアに語った。「見た目のこと、服装のこと、髪型のこと。誰もが何かしら意見を持っている。それがこの社会の性質なのよ」。
彼女の番組『ザ・ディプロマット』はこうしたテーマを扱っている。
「彼女がそれに対してすごく不機嫌で、いつも人と言い争おうとして、失礼な態度を取るところが好き。最高よ。本当に愉快だわ」と彼女は自身の演じるキャラクター、ケイトについて語った。「演じるのが楽しいの」。
ラッセルは自身の外見に関する議論を巻き起こすことには慣れている。1998年から2002年にかけて『フェリシティ』に出演していた際、彼女は長いカールを大胆に切り落とし、世間を騒がせた。
イマジン・エンターテインメントのインスタグラムに投稿された7月のインタビューで、彼女は当時を振り返った。「シリーズ制作者のJJエイブラムスから電話があって『彼氏に振られるシーンがあるんだけど、女子大生みたいに…髪を切るんだ。やってくれる？』と言われたの。『もちろん』って答えたら、実際にやってみたらすごい反発があったわ」。
「あんな騒ぎになるとは思わなかったわ」と彼女は語った。「見知らぬ人たちが街中で近づいてきて、『髪を切る前はすごく綺麗だったのに』なんて言うのよ」。
ドラマ『ザ・ディプロマット』シーズン3では、彼女の髪型を巡る世論への言及さえあった。
第4話で、ケイトは自身の身代わり役を務めるはずのシークレットサービス職員を厳しく叱責する。
「洗ってないわけじゃないのよ。ちゃんと洗ってるし、梳かしてるわ」と画面内で彼女は乱れた髪を指して語った。
「これはスタイルなの。そのスタイルとは――何時間も髪を整えてるようには見えないこと。だってもっと大事なことをしてる人もいるんだから。オープンカーの屋根が上がらなかったからじゃないのよ」
ラッセルは『ピープル』誌にこう語った。「みんな私の髪について話したがる。何て言えばいいか分からないわ。みんな私の髪を気にかけてるのよ」
『ザ・ディプロマット』がそれを茶化していることについては、「ああ、最高よ。すごく気に入ってるわ」と述べた。
