  • Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 18, is the eldest daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban and fronts the November 2026 cover of Vogue Germany.

  • She has modelled for Miu Miu, Dior and Calvin Klein since her runway debut in October 2024, while finishing high school in Nashville.

  • She says her long-term ambition is to become a film director.


Nicole Kidman's eldest daughter with Keith Urban has landed one of fashion's most coveted covers. Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 18, fronts the November 2026 issue of Vogue Germany, photographed in Louis Vuitton, with the issue on newsstands from October 24, Just Jared reported.


In the cover interview, the teenager tackled the nepotism question head-on. "I'm very aware that I'm given opportunities that not everyone can have," she told the magazine. She said she tries to repay that by giving every job her best, staying positive when she is exhausted from travel, and treating everyone with respect.


The cover caps a two-year rise that has run alongside her parents' very public split. Here is what we know about her.

What is Sunday Rose's Background?


Sunday Rose was born in Nashville in July 2008, the first child of Australian Oscar winner Nicole Kidman and country star Keith Urban, who married in 2006. Her younger sister, Faith Margaret, is 15 and joined their mother at Chanel's Paris Fashion Week show this month.


She also has two older half-siblings, Isabella "Bella" Kidman Cruise and Connor Cruise, whom Kidman adopted during her marriage to Tom Cruise. Her name has a family story behind it. Urban's brother Shane has said on Australian radio that "Rose" honours the brothers' late grandmother, per SheKnows.

What Does Sunday Rose Do For Work?


She is a fashion model. Sunday Rose made her runway debut at Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2025 show in Paris in October 2024, and the brand then cast her in its Spring/Summer 2025 campaign, ABC News reported.


She credits her mother's job for sparking her interest. "Growing up, I went to my mom's photo shoots a lot and got to observe," she told Nylon, according to Extra.


Since then she has worked with Dior, Calvin Klein and Omega. She walked Jonathan Anderson's debut Dior show on October 1, 2025, the day after her mother filed for divorce, per AOL.


She practises her catwalk in less glamorous settings too. "Whenever I'm walking down the hallway I feel like I'm strutting down to math class," she joked in a TikTok video for Vogue.


Her first magazine cover was Nylon in August 2025, followed by Elle Australia in March 2026. She also accompanied her mother to the 2026 Met Gala, which Kidman co-chaired.

What Rules Did Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Set For Her?


Two, according to Sunday Rose. "There are two big rules," she told Nylon. She said she was not allowed to do fashion work until she turned 16, and school always had to come first.


She admitted she resented the second rule at first, but has come round to it. It "keeps me in a good mindset," she said, Today reported.


In Vogue Germany, she said her interest in fashion actually began at 14, so her mother made her wait two years. She is now in her final year of high school in Nashville and says the school routine keeps her grounded between shows.

Does Sunday Rose Want to Act Like Her Mother?


Not exactly. Her ambition is to direct. Visiting her mother's film sets as a child, she was drawn to the monitors rather than the cameras.


"I was always staring at the preview monitor because I was so captivated by the work," she told Vogue Germany, naming Osgood Perkins and Emerald Fennell among her favourite directors. She has already appeared on screen in brief cameos in her mother's series Big Little Lies and The Undoing. She told Nylon she hopes to attend college in a big city such as New York.

What is Her Relationship With Nicole Kidman Like?


By all accounts, close. Asked for the best industry advice her mother has given her, Sunday Rose kept it simple: "Always be on time." Kidman, for her part, said this spring that her daughter's modelling career is "her own, whole world," per Page Six.


The pair share more than a work ethic. "Half my wardrobe now consists of her things," Sunday Rose told Vogue Germany, laughing that her mother has always been generous with her clothes.
