Sunday Kidman-Urban, who was only 16 years old at the time, considered it one of the most significant moments of her life to that point.
Earlier this month, the well-known adolescent debuted at Miu Miu's Spring-Summer 2025 Paris womenswear show. She walked the runway wearing a light, airy white cotton dress, leg warmers, and peep-toe pumps.
However, despite the astounding turn of events making a stir all over the world, it has caused her famous parents to be at odds with one another on how to safeguard their daughter in the future while still allowing her to pursue her dreams.
Almost as soon as the video of Sunday Rose went viral, internet trolls began to make fun of her modeling abilities. It wasn't long before allegations of nepotism began to come in, which prompted Sunday Rose's father, Keith, to remind everyone about the benefits of putting in a lot of effort.
"You have to get in there and keep everything balanced, too. You can get a leg up, but you are still going to have to put in your time. You are still going to have to keep your school grades good," in an interview with EXTRA TV, the singer of “Blue Ain't Your Color,” who is turning 57 this week, disclosed the information.
Even though he is pleased with her accomplishments, Keith wants his daughters to continue concentrating on their academic pursuits, as per Woman's Day Australia.
He has provided the following piece of advice to his children: "I think just balance. This might be a part of your life, but it is not going to be your life, so let's stay grounded. Anything that any of us choose to do involves an enormous amount of work. So go get in the trenches and start paying the dues as well."
After Sunday Rose conducted a post-show interview discussing her goal to enter the modeling industry, the internet was equally divided over her "unexpected" accent.
People have remarked that the model has a "Southern drawl mixed with a twinge of Australian" because she and her younger sister Faith Margaret, who is 13 years old, spent their childhood in the United States, alternating between residing in Sydney and Nashville throughout their youth.
It is one of the few things that Keith and Nicole, who is 57 years old, are unable to agree on completely. Friends say that all the extra attention has caused Keith, a country crooner, to be concerned about his girls rising to prominence too fast.
"He comes from a very humble background where grit and hard work are the only things that lead to success," the insider said. "He worries about them turning into nepobrats or, even worse, getting sucked into the dark side of Hollywood."
While this is going on, Nicole, their mother, is happier having the opportunity to pursue their passion for fashion. She revealed to Vogue Australia that she had informed Sunday that "when she was 16, she was allowed to come to a show. She's wanted to go for a long time."
"Nicole has been much more relaxed about Sunday and Faith wanting to follow their dreams, but even she worries about internet trolls," the source shared. "Keith is hoping the reaction to Paris will convince Nicole to pull the reins back on their ambitious girls - he wants them in colleges, not on catwalks."
