Following the split, Sunday Rose and her sister have been seen publicly alongside their mother, attending events such as Paris Fashion Week and participating together in a charity run with Kidman’s family. Despite the separation, the daughters remain closely connected to their mother, who has taken a leading role in their upbringing.
Emerging Career in Fashion and Film
Sunday is already making an impact in the fashion industry. In 2025, she walked the runway for high-fashion Italian label Miu Miu and also appeared at the Dior show in Paris this year. Alongside her modeling pursuits, she has aspirations to build a career in filmmaking, inspired by experiences gained on her mother’s film sets during her childhood.
I definitely gained a lot of interest from those experiences and especially being privileged enough to experience them at a young age,
Sunday said in an ELLE Australia interview.
She went on to describe her mother as a constant source of creativity and motivation.
My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life.
She’s a key part of everything I do.
Lessons on Work Ethic and Ambition
Despite her rising profile, Sunday credits her parents for instilling strong values centered on dedication and perseverance.
Something that’s always been followed in my house is doing, not just saying,
she explained.
Don’t just talk about how much you want to, but actually put your mind to it and get it done.
Her ambitions extend beyond modeling as she hopes to attend university and study filmmaking, aiming to develop skills behind the camera.
The biggest piece of industry advice Mum has given to me is to always be on time,
Sunday added.
Growing Up on the Road with Nicole Kidman
Having traveled extensively throughout her life, Sunday also credits her mother for teaching her how to manage life on the move.
I’ve travelled my whole life and my mum is a really good traveller, so she has taught me how to be one, too, which makes it so fun to travel and enjoy all the different places,
she said.
