The fashion world witnessed a notable debut when Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, daughter of actors Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, graced the runway at the Dior show during Paris Fashion Week. This appearance marks a significant milestone for the 17-year-old, who has recently navigated the emotional landscape following her parents’ announcement of their separation after 19 years of marriage.
Walking in the highly anticipated show, Sunday showcased her modeling prowess in a sophisticated outfit that included a grey collared top featuring a unique black tie detail, alongside tailored black trousers and distinctive two-tone shoes adorned with the iconic gold Dior logo. Her participation in this event coincided with the debut of Jonathan Anderson as the creative director for the French luxury label, emphasizing her rising star status in the fashion industry.
Sunday has been gradually building her modeling portfolio, making her first runway appearance in October 2024 for Miu Miu. Prior to the Dior show, she participated in another Miu Miu event in March, further establishing her presence on the fashion circuit. The recent Dior show attracted high-profile attendees, including French First Lady Brigitte Macron and actor Johnny Depp, adding to the event’s glamour.
In a recent interview with Nylon magazine, Sunday shared how she sought guidance from British supermodel Cara Delevingne before her debut at Miu Miu. “I actually got the opportunity to sit and talk with Cara the night before the show,” she recalled. “It was nice to get to know her as I’ve looked up to her for a long time.” This connection with Delevingne provided Sunday with valuable insights into the modeling world, allowing her to feel more at ease during her debut.
Sunday’s foray into modeling has not only made her a subject of media interest but also earned her the title of an “It” girl by Nylon. She solidified this status with a notable appearance at a Miu Miu party during New York Fashion Week last month. Additionally, her younger sister, Faith Margaret, aged 14, may soon follow in her footsteps, as she appeared alongside Nicole in an advertisement for French beauty brand Cle de Peau Beauté in July.
In the context of her family’s recent developments, Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce, requesting to be the primary residential parent for both Sunday and Faith, aiming for 306 days of custody per year, with Keith taking the remaining 59 days. This legal step underscores the ongoing changes within their family dynamics as they adapt to their new circumstances.
Looking ahead, the fashion community is eager to see whether Nicole Kidman will attend Pierpaolo Piccioli’s design debut for Balenciaga on Saturday. As an ambassador for the label, alongside actress Michelle Yeoh, her presence would further highlight the Kidman family’s influence in the fashion landscape.
In addition to Sunday’s achievements, other connections in the fashion industry include Laura Dern, Kidman’s co-star from Big Little Lies, who recently made her runway debut at the Paris Fashion Week show for Gabriela Hearst, wearing a stunning white floral dress. Meanwhile, Kai Schreiber, the daughter of Kidman’s close friend Naomi Watts, has been recognized as “the face of the future” by Another Magazine after a successful season showcasing for brands such as Calvin Klein and Fendi.
As the Kidman family navigates these changes, Sunday Rose’s journey in the fashion world continues to be a focal point, capturing the attention of both fans and industry insiders alike.
