Nicole showed off on the red carpet in May 2023. Nutrition expert Dr. Fred Pescatore, who has not treated the Big Little Lies star, told In Touch that he estimated that the 5-foot-11 actress was about 25 pounds below the average weight for her height.

Nicole’s slender frame grabbed fans’ attention at a Vanity Fair event in July 2023, as the actress wore a long black gown with cut-out panels that accentuated her waist. However, The Undoing star’s relentless work schedule might be to blame.

“She’s been acting in projects nearly back-to-back while also doing advertisements and producing,” a source shared with In Touch. “She even just took on the job as a Balenciaga brand ambassador, as if she didn’t have enough on her plate.”

Nicole opted for another black dress with side panels removed at the CMA Awards in November 2023 to support her husband, Keith Urban. After finishing filming for the HBO series, The Undoing, Nicole confessed that working too much often affects her mental and physical health.

“Certain things penetrate in a really deep way. There is just no getting around that, and I wish there was. It does take a toll on my health and my spirit,” she said, adding that sometimes when she gets home, her children “are going, ‘Why are you looking like that, Mummy?’”

Nicole got silly in some photos on her personal Instagram page as she donned bright colored T-shirts and ditched her pants, but followers couldn’t help but express their concern.

“Are you OK because you look thinner than I’ve seen you look?” asked one fan.

“She needs food, for sure,” commented another fan.

However, several people came to Nicole’s defense in the comments, as well, and pointed out that the actress is almost six feet tall and has always rocked a slender frame.

“Jesus, you morons, she’s nearly 6ft tall. She’s always been slim. I’d say she’s doing just fine. She’s there and you’re here being petty,” wrote a fan.

Nicole’s playful pose on the red carpet at an Expats screening in December 2023 brought attention to her toned arms.

Some believed Nicole needed to take some time off and slow down from taking on so many projects. “She tends to lose weight when she’s overworked,” an insider told In Touch.

It became clear that Nicole was able to recharge over the 2023 holidays with her family.

“They mean everything to her,” an insider said of Keith and their daughters Sunday, 15, and Faith, 13, as well as Nicole’s mother and sister. The Eyes Wide Shut star planned to “try to relax and re-center herself for the new year — before she pushes herself too far.”

It looks like that’s just what she needed. Nicole looked well rested and refreshed at the Expats premiere in January 2024.
