Nicole Kidman's Bold New Look: Heartbreak Hairdo or Fashion Statement?

As Nicole Kidman , 58, whose divorce from Keith Urban , 57, was announced this month, debuted a chic new look with trendy bangs at Paris Fashion Week ; it wasn't the only time the Hollywood actress had channelled a new sartorial direction after a breakup

SCANDAL ALERT: Nicole Kidman's $4 Million Nashville Mansion, Keith Urban's Secret Romance & The Shocking Truth Behind Their Bitter Divorce

In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood A-lister Nicole Kidman and her country music star husband Keith Urban have announced their split after 19 years of marriage. But what really went down behind closed doors? And who is the mysterious woman rumored to be involved with the 57-year-old musician?

As we all know, break-ups are a rite of passage for celebrities - and Nicole has been no stranger to them either. The Aussie actress has been known to change her hair as often as she changes partners. Remember that iconic bob she rocked back in 2001 after her divorce from Tom Cruise? Talk about making a statement!

The Australian star has been known for her stunning tresses for decades, and some hallmark styles appear to align with changes in her love life. Nicole and Keith pictured last year

But this time around, it seems like Keith's been playing the field while Nicole was busy being a devoted wife and mom of four (yes, you read that right!). Sources close to the couple claim they've been living separate lives for years, with Keith touring non-stop and Nicole juggling her film commitments.

"Keith never sees Nicole," spills an insider. "Either she's filming or he's on tour. There was a lot of love between the two, but it seems like they're just drifting apart."

And speaking of new loves, there's been buzz surrounding country music artist Maggie Baugh, 25, who's rumored to be involved with Keith. Insiders claim the pair met last year at the CMT Music Awards and have been inseparable ever since.

In 2001, after she and Tom Cruise announced their split after 11 years together, she looked fiercely sultry in a auburn bob

But what really got tongues wagging was when clips from their Vegas concert surfaced online, with Keith serenading Maggie with a sultry rendition of "I Was Born To Love You." Did he just sing that to her? The internet is freaking out!

When asked about the breakup, Nicole's rep simply stated: "Nicole and Keith have decided to go their separate ways. They remain committed parents to their two beautiful daughters."

But behind closed doors, it's said that Nicole was blindsided by the split - and is still reeling from the shock.

It was a departure from scenes of Nicole just the year prior, snuggled up to her beau on the Mission Impossible red carpet with long, flowing tresses thrown up into a ponytail

"A source close to Nicole told us she's 'hurt' and feels 'betrayed,'" spills People magazine. "She didn't want this divorce and has been fighting to save their marriage."

As for the divorce settlement, it seems like Keith and Nicole have agreed on a joint custody arrangement - with Nicole getting 306 days and Keith receiving just 59. But don't worry, they'll still get to spend quality time together... as co-parents!

The notarized parenting plan obtained by The Scholarly Note (TSN) reveals that the couple will encourage their daughters to "love the other parent and be comfortable in both families." Awkward much?

Photos of Nicole towards the end of 2003 appear to signal a nudge towards yet another make-over as she sported slightly lightened strawberry blonde hair while walking with Lenny around New York. However, by the following year - when the couple were reportedly over for good - she leaned into a full, icy platinum

And just to add some more spice to this juicy gossip, a Nashville-based music business PR spilled: "Keith has already moved on with someone younger in the industry. Everyone wants to know who it is, but so far, that's a mystery!"

Looks like Keith Urban's got his hands full - and a new love interest on his arm! Stay tuned for more updates on this scandalous divorce!

But amidst all the drama, Nicole Kidman is still slaying the fashion game. At Chanel's showpiece catwalk presentation in Paris, she debuted a chic new look with trendy bangs - and we can't get enough of it! Her daughters Sunday and Faith were by her side, supporting their mom as she walked the runway.

It looks like Nicole's taking this breakup thing in stride - after all, she's been around the block a few times. Who knows? Maybe this new 'do is just the start of an amazing new chapter in her life!
