Sunday Rose Kidman Urban is celebrating a major personal and professional milestone.
Just one day after walking the runway for Christian Dior’s Autumn/Winter 2026 Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week, the rising model officially turned 18 on July 7.
To mark the special occasion, her mother, Nicole Kidman, shared a touching tribute filled with childhood memories.
The Oscar-winning actress posted two throwback photos of Sunday Rose on Instagram, including one of her holding her daughter as a toddler and another showing the birthday girl wearing angel wings while walking away from the camera.

The birthday celebration followed a standout fashion moment for Sunday Rose, who returned to the Dior Haute Couture runway for the second consecutive year.

Earlier this year, she also generated headlines when she attended the Met Gala alongside Nicole, despite being 17 years old at the time.

The evening was especially notable as Nicole served as one of the gala’s co-chairs.

“I definitely gained a lot of interest from those experiences and especially being privileged enough to experience them at a young age,” she told Elle Australia.

In the same interview, Sunday explained that continuing her education has helped her maintain perspective while navigating life in the spotlight.
“The privilege of having these experiences and meeting so many new people is so amazing, but as a teenager, it’s so easy to get sucked into all of it so fast,” she said.
