Nicole Kidman has announced a surprise date for the upcoming 2026 Met Gala. She will be attending the prestigious event with her eldest daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, on May 4. This marks Kidman’s third time serving as a co-chair for the gala.
Navigating Motherhood and Fashion
During an appearance on the “Las Culturistas” podcast on March 11, Kidman expressed her excitement about attending the event with her 17-year-old daughter. She noted how happy she is to share this experience with Sunday, who has shown a growing passion for fashion.
- Kidman shares Sunday and her 15-year-old daughter, Faith, with ex-husband Keith Urban.
- She has two other children, Bella and Connor, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.
Sunday’s Rising Star in Fashion
Sunday is making waves in the modeling industry, having made her runway debut at Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2025 Paris Fashion Week show in October 2024. Kidman was thrilled to announce that Sunday had just walked in the Dior show, illustrating her daughter’s burgeoning career.
Despite Kidman’s high profile in Hollywood, she emphasizes that Sunday’s accomplishments are a result of her own hard work. Kidman described Sunday’s career as “her own, whole world.”
Met Gala 2026 Co-Chairs
This year, in addition to Kidman, the co-chairs also include renowned figures like Beyoncé and Venus Williams. Kidman’s previous experiences in co-chairing the Met Gala were in 2003 and 2005 alongside fashion icon Anna Wintour.
Fashion Inspiration and Advice
Sunday has shared that she often borrows clothing from her mother’s wardrobe, calling it her “favorite store.” She has been inspired by Kidman’s creative approach to fashion.
Reflecting on her mother’s influence, Sunday stated, “My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life.” In terms of career advice, Kidman has instilled the importance of punctuality in her daughter. Sunday mentioned, “Always be on time,” highlighting the significance of preparation in the fashion industry.
Post-Divorce Arrangements
This announcement comes not long after Kidman finalized her divorce from Urban after 19 years of marriage earlier in January 2023. Under their custody agreement, Sunday and Faith will reside with Kidman 306 days of the year. Urban will see the girls every other weekend.
As the Met Gala approaches, fans are eager to see how this mother-daughter duo will shine on one of fashion’s biggest stages.
