The short answer
The I Feel Like Nicole trend is a short lip-sync video set to “Nicole Kidman” by the pop singer ADÉLA, whose hook gives the trend its name. In the version most people copy, a phone hidden inside a store’s glass-door drinks cooler films someone swinging the door open, lip-syncing right into the lens, dancing in the snack aisle, grabbing a can and strutting off as the door swings shut.
The I Feel Like Nicole AI trend is the same cooler cam made from one photo of you: no store, no hidden phone and no dance to learn. NowStarring makes the whole take, 14 seconds and vertical, with the song already in it, on the I Feel Like Nicole page.
What happens in the video, beat by beat
It’s one fixed shot of about 14 seconds. The camera never moves; the dancer comes to it. These stills are from one of our own AI renders, and they hit the same five beats as the clip everyone copies:
The cooler is the trick. The camera sits where nobody expects one, so it feels like catching someone performing for the drinks. The glass door works like a stage curtain: it opens on the first beat and closes on the last, which gives the clip a clean start and a clean ending that loops well.
The middle is loose on purpose. A lip-sync at the lens, a spin, a few hip pops and a strut are moves anyone can fake, which is why it works on a dad buying milk as well as on a dancer.
The song: “Nicole Kidman” by ADÉLA
- Title: Nicole Kidman. Artist: ADÉLA. That’s the name to search for in TikTok or Instagram when you add the sound.
- The hook is the line the trend is named after. The whole joke is lip-syncing it into the lens like you own the store.
- ADÉLA named the song after the actress as a tribute to her kind of old-Hollywood star power: the feeling of being the most glamorous person in the room.
- Celebrities have joined in too, passing a phone around and lip-syncing the lines to each other, which pushed the song even further.
The trend is about feeling like a star, not looking like one. Nobody needs to resemble Nicole Kidman, and you should never upload a photo of her, or of any celebrity, to an AI video tool. Use a photo of yourself.
Two ways people film it
The same song carries two kinds of video. Both are “the I Feel Like Nicole trend”, so it helps to know which one you’re looking at:
| Version | Where | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Cooler cam | A store’s drinks cooler | Door opens, lip-sync at the lens, aisle dance, pink can, walk away |
| Dance routine | Living room, street, anywhere | A short set of hand raises, body waves, kicks and a spin to the hook |
The cooler cam is the one people search for with “AI” in the query, because it’s hard to film for real: you need a store, a cooler and permission to hide a phone in it. NowStarring makes the cooler cam only.
Why people post it
It turns an ordinary snack run into a main-character moment. It’s funniest on the person nobody expects to see dancing: your dad, your manager, the friend who never posts. The bigger the confidence, the better it lands.
Caption ideas that suit it:
- Went in for a drink. Came out the main character.
- Said he was grabbing milk. Took forty minutes.
- One pink can. Zero shame.
- Grocery run, but make it a music video.
How the AI version works
You add one photo of yourself, head to feet. The video builds the store, the cooler door, the aisle and every move around you, and keeps your face, hair and clothes from the photo. You dance in the outfit you’re wearing in it.
- Length and shape: 14 seconds, vertical 9:16, ready for TikTok and Reels.
- Sound: the song is already in the file.
- Quality: Standard 480p or HD 720p, MP4, no watermark.
- Time: about 3 minutes. You can close the tab; we email you when it’s ready and it waits in My videos.
- People only: the dancer opens a door, lip-syncs and holds a can, so pets aren’t offered for this trend.
- Your photo is deleted automatically 7 days after upload.
One Standard video uses 65 credits. The smallest pack that makes one is $12.90 for 90 credits (1 video), a one-time buy whose credits never expire, and plans start at $19.90 a month for 270 credits. If a video fails, its credits come back.
Three ways to make your own
- One photo, no prompt: upload it on the I Feel Like Nicole page and get the finished cooler cam with the song.
- A free prompt in an AI video tool that takes a reference photo: copy it from the I Feel Like Nicole AI prompt guide, then add the song yourself.
- Film it for real: the free guide has a shot plan for a store cooler or your own fridge.
