Nicole Kidman is “less interested” in fashion now she has a child. Apparently.

The Aussie actress who has a two-year-old daughter Sunday Rose with country music strummer Keith Urban, as well as two adopted (and quite fugly) children, Bella, 18, and Connor, 15, with ex-hubby and gayface Tom Cruise – admits she was more style conscious when she was younger, and says being a parent has made her fashion-sense simpler.

Or as we prefer to call it: shit.

Kidman’s face registered no movement whatsoever as she said: “Because I have a child now, I dress much simpler these days. When I was in my 20s the thing I loved was fashion. I loved to get really dressed up.

“I think I’m less interested in fashion now and more interested in simple chic. I still think it’s important to have some sense of ‘not letting yourself go’ though. You’ve got to make an effort, even after you have a child and even after you’re married.”

And if dressing like a chambermaid with a pot belly (and E.T. like neck) is what she calls ‘simple chic’, then she’s got that look down to a tee…or should we say…tea (caddy..and remember to refill those shortbread biscuits we like please).
