Nicole Kidman was a proud mother when her daughter Sunday Rose, 16, walked Paris Fashion Week in October 2024, which led to backlash about her modelling credentials.

Two months on, The Perfect Couple actress, 57, has spoken out about her eldest daughter's career, describing her as a "composed" model. Taking a break from posing for photos on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, Nicole told Variety reporter Marc Malkin that her "beautiful precious baby" doesn't have immediate plans to follow in her acting footsteps.

"Are they going to go into the business?" he asked of Sunday and Nicole and Keith Urban's younger daughter Faith.

"Who knows?" she replied, adding: "She is modelling now and she is very composed and a very sweet girl."

After Sunday opened the Miu Miu Paris Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show, many criticised her runway walk and her participation in the show.

Nicole later admitted she was hesitant about her daughter’s involvement, but her long-standing relationship with Miuccia Prada, whom she has known since she was 23, ultimately put her at ease. 

"I was like, 'Hmm, I don’t think this is a good idea,'" she told The Hollywood Reporter. "But Miuccia just loved her and was like, 'No, I want her.' And Miuccia is so powerful as a woman. So that was a good match."

Nicole said that she was determined to be "supportive" of her daughter's career choice, telling E! News: "[I'm] just there for her. Just being a mom." She added: "I'm trying to give her her own space, you know? [Not be] overbearing or dominant in any way."
