Nicole Kidman has had a busy year promoting her myriad projects, including the Amazon Prime thriller, Scarpetta, and the upcoming sequel to her classic 1998 hit Practical Magic. She's also attended plenty of Chanel runway shows, the Oscars and the Met Gala. The actress has been so prolific I sometimes forget she's also a mom to four kids: Bella Kidman Cruise (33), Connor Cruise (31), Sunday Rose Kidman Urban (18) and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban (15). While the older two have kept a low profile as adults, Sunday Rose and Faith sporadically appear on their mother's social media accounts. Kidman recently took to Instagram with a rare throwback of Sunday in honor of her daughter's 18th birthday.

"Happy 18th my angel, you couldn’t be more loved," the Moulin Rouge actress wrote in the caption. Kidman shared two photos of a toddler Sunday, one sitting on her mother's hip and the second toddling through the house wearing an angel outfit. Sunday is the older daughter Kidman shares with her ex-husband, Keith Urban.

Sunday spent her birthday week in Paris walking in the Dior Haute Couture show at the Musée Rodin. She also wore a custom Dior look to the Met Gala, which she attended with her mom, who wore Chanel. The teenager has a strong relationship with the Anderson-helmed French fashion house, having also walked in the Cruise collection and participated in ad campaigns. She has also worked as a model for Calvin Klein and partnered with Miu Miu among other big names since her modeling debut in 2024.

While her modeling career appears to be flourishing, Sunday has a dream of studying filmmaking, with a particular interest in psychological horror. Per Elle Australia, she also takes after Kidman with her admiration for female directors. As for any words of wisdom her mother passed on? Sunday told the outlet:

“The biggest piece of industry advice Mum has given to me is to always be on time. There’s always going to be something with an early call time that you don’t want to get up for, but it’s really important to be on time because it shows that you’re prepared and grateful to be there.”
