Sunday Rose, daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, has revealed that her mother is her greatest source of inspiration. Speaking in Elle Australia’s March edition, Sunday Rose credited growing up around her mother’s work for shaping her own aspirations in modeling and the fashion industry.
Early Exposure to the Fashion World Sparked a Passion
Sunday Rose described how accompanying Nicole Kidman to photoshoots during her childhood fueled her interest in modeling. She said,
“I definitely gained a lot of interest from those experiences and especially being privileged enough to experience them at a young age,”
highlighting how those moments left a lasting impression.
Emphasizing her mother’s role in her creative development, she added,
“My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life,”
further noting that Kidman remains
“a key part of everything I do.”
Learning Discipline from Her Mother
Beyond creative influence, Sunday Rose revealed that Nicole Kidman has instilled essential professional values in her. She shared the pivotal advice her mother dispensed about punctuality, saying,
“The biggest piece of industry advice Mum has given to me is to always be on time,”
and stressing the importance of this habit.
Explaining the reasoning behind this guidance, she said,
“There’s always going to be something with an early call time that you don’t want to get up for, but it’s really important to be on time because it shows that you’re prepared and grateful to be there.”
Rising Career Milestones in Fashion
At only 17 years old, Sunday Rose has swiftly stepped into the spotlight with a notable runway debut. She walked for Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week in October 2024, marking a significant milestone in her modeling career. Following this, she featured in Miu Miu’s campaign in January 2025, where she was photographed wearing a trench coat and skirt.
Her rise continued as she secured her first fashion magazine cover for Nylon’s August 2025 issue. Modeling a brown leather Prada skirt suit, she acknowledged that her style draws heavily from her mother’s wardrobe.
“I take everything from my mom’s closet,”
she said, joking,
“I sometimes joke with her that it’s my favorite store.”
Family Dynamics Amid Major Changes
Sunday Rose’s acknowledgments of her mother come as Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban conclude a surprise divorce after nearly two decades together. Finalized in January 2026, this split reshaped their family life, with the two daughters, Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret, spending 306 days annually with their mother, while their father sees them every other weekend.
Despite the shift, Kidman appears to cherish her role as a mother. In a heartfelt New Year’s Instagram post, she shared an image of herself and her daughters watching fireworks, writing “looking forward into 2026” above the photo. A source told People magazine that Kidman remains optimistic and
“spends a lot of time with her girls,”
enjoying her family moments deeply.
Nicole Kidman’s Enduring Impact on Her Children
Nicole Kidman’s influence on her daughters extends beyond inspiration to tangible lessons and everyday interactions. Sunday Rose’s comments emphasize that her mother is not only a role model for creativity but also a guide in navigating the professional world with integrity. The combination of Kidman’s artistic example and practical advice has played a crucial role as Sunday Rose embarks on her own career path.
With her recent achievements and a strong maternal foundation, Sunday Rose looks poised to continue flourishing in the highly competitive fashion industry. As Nicole Kidman embraces the evolving dynamics of her family, her daughters stand as a testament to her lasting influence both personally and professionally.
