Milestone Runway Appearance
On Monday, July 6 2025, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban—daughter of actress Nicole Kidman and country singer Keith Urban—walked the Dior Fall/Winter Haute Couture show in Paris. The 18-year-old model wore a shimmering striped overcoat, black pants and white pumps, marking her second consecutive appearance at the fashion house’s couture presentation.
Modeling Journey and Family Background
Sunday Rose first appeared on a runway during Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2025 show in Paris in October 2024. She later attracted media attention for attending the May 2025 Met Gala with her mother, a move that “bent the rules” because the event requires guests to be at least 18 years old. She shares the birthday with younger sister Faith Margaret (15) and half-siblings Bella (33) and Connor (31), whom Nicole Kidman adopted with ex-husband Tom Cruise. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban announced their separation in September 2025 after 19 years of marriage; the divorce was finalized in January 2026 according to some reports, while other sources simply note the split without a specific date.
