Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman’s Daughter Makes Fashion Debut

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s oldest daughter, Sunday Rose, is making waves in the fashion world.

At just 16, she walked her first runway show for Miu Miu during Paris Fashion Week last year. Nicole revealed around that time that the rule for Sunday was that he was not allowed to attend fashion shows until she turned that age.

So when Sunday finally made her runway debut, the actress gushed over her daughter, saying she was always going to be her biggest fan.

“Incredibly proud and supportive,” Nicole told E! News at the time. “Just there for her. Just being a mum.”

Last October, fans were devastated to learn that Keith and Nicole were getting divorced. The couple first met in Los Angeles in 2005, and were married just one year later in the couple’s native country of Australia. 

While the former couple has kept the girls’ lives fairly private, Sunday and their younger daughter, Faith, have made occasional public appearances on the red carpet. Amid Keith and Nicole’s divorce announcement, Sunday was spotted on the Dior runway that same week.

Since her initial debut, Sunday has posted a number of photos to her Instagram account sharing different modeling projects she has done over the past year. One of those being the cover of ELLE Australia in March.

Nicole & Sunday Attend The Annual Met Gala

On Monday (May 4), Nicole and Sunday seemingly bent the rules at the 2026 Met Gala, an event that only allows guests over the age of 18 to attend.

The night marked a milestone moment for the 58-year-old actress, who is serving as a co-chair alongside Beyoncé, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour. It seems she also may have gotten an exception to a strict Met age limit rule when she showed up with Sunday (who is now 17) as her date.

The duo stepped onto the carpet in vibrant, spring-ready looks. Nicole wore a deep red sequined Chanel gown from the label’s 2027 Cruise collection, featuring a drop waist, feathered peplum, and a subtle train.

The Met Gala is one of the world’s most high-profile fashion events. It’s a yearly fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute in New York City, and officially kicks off the museum’s spring fashion exhibition.

Held each year on the first Monday in May, the gala brings together celebrities, designers, artists, and public figures who are invited to dress according to a specific theme tied to that year’s exhibit. 

For 2026, the theme was “Costume Art,” with the presentation dedicated to “the inherent relationship between clothing and the body.”
