Seventeen-year-old Sunday Rose Kidman Urban is stepping into the spotlight in style, just like her famous mother Nicole Kidman. In a rare and candid interview, the budding model opened up about the life lessons that shaped her path, crediting her mother’s guidance as her north star.
It’s a lovely glimpse into celebrity family dynamics that feels refreshingly real.
Inspiration from my mother’s life
Sunday Rose, the daughter of Nicole Kidman and country music star Keith Urban, grew up accompanying her mother to photo shoots. Those early experiences sparked modeling and even sparked dreams of filmmaking. “My mother is incredibly creative and has always been my biggest inspiration,” Sunday Rose told Elle Australia, where the full interview appears on March 8, 2026. “She plays a crucial role in everything I do.”Nicole Kidman, an Academy Award-winning actress known for her roles in films such as Moulin Rouge! and watches, she has long balanced her high-profile career with motherhood. Sunday Rose recently walked the runway at Christian Dior’s Spring/Summer 2026 couture show during Paris Fashion Week, a moment that echoed her mother’s glamorous world. However, it is everyday wisdom, not the glamor that Sunday Rose cherishes so much.
Punctuality and work towards awards
In the cutthroat fashion industry, there’s one piece of advice that stands out above the rest.
“The most important piece of advice my mom gave me is to always arrive on time,” Sunday Rose shared with Elle Australia. “There will always be occasions when you may not feel like getting up early, but punctuality is vital because it shows you are prepared and appreciate the opportunity.”This spirit extends to the family home, where promises mean action. “In our house, we’ve always prioritized action over words,” she explained in the same interview with Elle Australia.
“This means that if you commit to something, you have to follow through and get it done.
The lessons flow in both directions
Travel, another family staple, has taught Sunday Rose resilience. “I’ve traveled my whole life, and my mom is an excellent traveler, so she’s taught me how to embrace that as well, which makes traveling so much fun as we explore different locations,” she noted in a message to E! Online interview:Interestingly, Nicole Kidman is learning from her daughters as well.
Speaking about raising teenagers in the age of social media, Nicole told Interview magazine in November 2025: “I think they have the resilience that we lacked, or I definitely lacked, given the lack of social media during my youth. Young people today are actually saying, ‘We know exactly how to handle this.’”
