At just 17 years old, Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban — daughter of Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman and Grammy-winning country star Keith Urban — is making her first big mark in the fashion industry while keeping clear boundaries as she finds her own place in the spotlight.
Sunday recently graced the cover of Nylon magazine, earning the title of the publication’s “It Girl” for August 2025. The feature marks her official debut in the fashion world, with Nylon teasing, “The model is lighting up runways and hanging out with Cara Delevingne — just as long as she finishes her homework first.” The magazine also acknowledged her “A-list origins” in another post.
In the cover spread, Sunday showcases an array of bold high-fashion looks — from a colorful patchwork scarf paired with maroon gloves and a green strapless top, to a textured brown ensemble where she winks at the camera while playfully biting a pink string. Other shots capture her in a fitted pink long-sleeve top, brown skirt, and a faux fur scarf, confidently posing atop two chairs against a plain backdrop.
Online reactions have been mixed. Many praised her style and confidence, with several noting her strong resemblance to her father, while others pointed to her famous family as the reason for her early opportunities. Comments ranged from, “She’s the spitting image of Keith Urban,” to, “She wouldn’t have gotten this far without her mum.” Some critics even labeled her a “nepo baby,” while others cheered her on with messages like, “Go baby!” and “GO SUN!”
Sunday, however, has been upfront about the rules she follows to keep grounded. Speaking to Nylon, she revealed that she wasn’t allowed to explore fashion work until she was 16, and that school must always come first — a rule she once disliked but now appreciates for keeping her balanced. She also noted that most people her age don’t know about her famous background, which allows her to be judged for who she is, not her parents.
Her Nylon cover comes after her viral runway debut for Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection at just 16, where she wore a sleeveless white dress with ribbon details, knee-high socks, and open-toe pumps. Nicole Kidman later revealed in an interview that her daughter’s modeling work was entirely her own decision — with fashion powerhouse Miuccia Prada personally wanting her in the show.
Now, with a runway debut and a major magazine cover under her belt, Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban is taking her first steps into the fashion world on her own terms, determined to build a career that reflects her individuality as much as her famous heritage.
