If this isn't an example of how impossible beauty standards have gotten, I don't know what is. Imagine the original Nicole getting cast in anything now. She could play maybe a crazy white trash cousin or something. You just can't have curly red hair in Hollywood anymore, let alone thin lips. She looked gorgeous and classic in The Others, but I have to admit to being distracted by her looks in Australia. The lips don't necessarily look bad, as with Meg Ryan, it's the non moving over stuffed cheeks in profile that seem wrong. Is it just me or did all this start with Cruise leaving her for Cruz?

However is it just me, or did she not start getting all the roles until she changed her looks?

WHY would such a gorgeous woman do this to herself? She was stunning. She looks just dreadful now. She is obviously TOTALLY insecure with herself. She was a beautiful woman, and she has ruined her looks. If youre not born with big lips, DO not get them. They look weird and unnatural. Look at Meg Ryan. She used to be darling and now she looks awful with those fake, inflated fish lips! When will these beauties learn not to mess with their lips? Nicole is also WAY too botoxed!!!

I think Nicole has graduated from playing ingenue victims to grandmother roles and character parts (like witches, psychotics and deluded Beverly Hills matrons desperately trying to hang on to their wealthy, wayward husbands).

She's botoxed her face so much that she now has JOWLS.

The first pic, the young pic, is the most natural pic - she looked healthy and happy.

Her lips are lumpy and uneven.

BLECH!

She is ruining her looks. She needs to back off from the botox and lip plumping procedures. She's starting to look like a Michael Jackson look alike. Yikes.

Nicole Kidman used to be stunning. She's now looking just a bit too much like a wax manikin to me. And not in a good way.

Nicole..what are you doing to yourself!?

She used to be really beautiful when her hair was natural and curly..and before her face started looking a bit too much like wax. Why do women think those puffed up lips are attractive? They look fake and ugly!

I love Nicole, she's an amazing actress, but I really think she's starting to get hooked on this plastic surgery thing.

Besides being sad that a naturally beautiful, wildly succesful woman would have such a problem with aging, it will also start to limit her choice of parts: she's starting to look to old for 30something parts (perversely, botox/collagenface implies age), she's limiting the expressiveness of her face (a necessary tool for an actor, obviously) and she won't be getting the interesting non-wife older parts either.

Stop with the chemical interference in your face, Nicole! You'll be gorgeous without it... and not so desperate-seeming!

She looks like she's made of wax. What happeneed to her? I guess life with Tom can do that to you.

She looks nothing like she used to. It would be so weird to wake up every morning and see a completely different person in the mirror. Hey Nicole, try eating once in a while!

She sort of looks like Renee Zellweger in the top pic.

I agree Concita.

She looks almost as stupid as Jessica Simpson with those fake lips

Hey...nice fish lips Nic.

Why don't you try growing old gracefully...paying to stay young and fresh is totally working against you.

she reminds me of marcia cross... you know, the totally fake looking smile, no wrinkle forehead, botox wearing look. she needs some sun, cuz she looks waxy! her and her drug addict hubby are a weird couple.
