Sunday Rose, daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, credits her mother as her greatest source of inspiration in both life and career as she embarks on her own modeling journey. The young rising model shared her thoughts in an interview with Elle Australia’s March edition, discussing how her mother’s creativity and guidance have profoundly influenced her path in the fashion industry.
Early Influences That Sparked a Modeling Passion
Growing up, Sunday Rose often accompanied Nicole Kidman to photoshoots, experiences she describes as pivotal in cultivating her interest in modeling. These early encounters exposed her to the industry from a young age, allowing her to gain unique insights and appreciation for the work behind the scenes.
“I definitely gained a lot of interest from those experiences and especially being privileged enough to experience them at a young age,”
she told the magazine.
She emphasized that her mother’s imaginative spirit has always inspired her.
“My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life,”
Sunday Rose added, also describing Kidman as
“a key part of everything I do.”
Valuable Advice from Nicole Kidman to Her Daughter
Sunday Rose also revealed that her mother has imparted important professional advice, especially emphasizing punctuality, which she regards as essential in the entertainment and fashion worlds.
“The biggest piece of industry advice Mum has given to me is to always be on time,”
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.”
Stepping Into the Fashion Spotlight
Sunday Rose, now 17, made a significant career milestone by debuting on the runway at Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2025 Paris Fashion Week show in October 2024. Her involvement continued as she starred in the accompanying campaign for the brand’s collection in January 2025, appearing confidently in a trench coat and skirt ensemble.
Her rising profile led to her first fashion magazine cover, featuring on the August 2025 issue of Nylon magazine. For this shoot, she modeled a brown leather Prada skirt suit and acknowledged how her mother’s wardrobe served as a source of inspiration.
“I take everything from my mom’s closet,”
she told the interviewers.
“I sometimes joke with her that it’s my favorite store.”
Family Changes and Personal Reflections
Sunday Rose’s statements about her mother’s influence come shortly after Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s separation was finalized in January 2026, following 19 years of marriage. According to their custody arrangements, Sunday Rose and her younger sister Faith Margaret, 15, spend most of the year with their mother, while their father has visitation every other weekend.
In the wake of the split, Kidman appeared to draw strength from her daughters. She shared a poignant moment on Instagram at the beginning of the year, posting an image of herself with Faith and Sunday watching fireworks. The caption expressed hope and determination about the future with the words “looking forward into 2026.”
A source close to Kidman told People magazine that despite the change, the actress remains optimistic and focused on her family.
“She spends a lot of time with her girls,”
the source said, adding, “She loves family time.”
The Significance of Maternal Influence in Her Career
Sunday Rose’s journey illustrates the profound impact Nicole Kidman’s creativity, professionalism, and support have had on her ambitions and early accomplishments. By embracing the lessons from her mother, she has established a foothold in the competitive fashion world—not only by making runway appearances but by embodying the values of preparation and gratitude Kidman has instilled in her.
This close family bond, even amid their parents’ separation, highlights how Kidman’s role as mother continues to shape her daughters’ lives and futures. As Sunday Rose builds her personal brand, her mother’s example remains the guiding force behind her emerging career, signaling promising developments ahead in both fashion and life.
