At the 2026 Met Gala, Nicole Kidman and her daughter Sunday Rose made a memorable entrance, showcasing their striking fashion choices in New York City.
Sunday Rose, just 17 years old, dazzled in a pink Christian Dior Haute Couture gown adorned with floral appliques. “I wanted to symbolize something blooming. It’s my first Met,” she expressed, capturing the essence of youthful elegance.
Nicole, who served as a co-chair for the event, wore a stunning red sequined Chanel gown with feathers. She explained her choice of color: “For me, fashion is art. I wanted something red because I wanted to embrace the way in which red has been used in art through the years.” Her ensemble reflected both love and vitality.
The theme for this year’s gala was “Fashion In Art,” an idea that resonated throughout the night. Hair stylist Adir Abergel noted how both mother and daughter’s looks were tied together through a shared expression of modern elegance. “Hair became a subtle yet beautiful unifying thread,” he remarked.
This special moment for Nicole comes after her split from Keith Urban, with whom she shares Sunday Rose. The couple had been married for 19 years before parting ways.
Nicole also has two older children—31-year-old Connor and 33-year-old Bella—with ex-husband Tom Cruise. This event marked a significant milestone for Sunday as she stepped into the spotlight alongside her famous mother.
The Met Gala serves as an annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum Of Art’s Costume Institute, drawing celebrities like Beyoncé and Venus Williams to its iconic red carpet.
This year’s gala was particularly special as it showcased not only fashion but also family bonds. Observers are eager to see how this mother-daughter duo continues to evolve in the world of fashion and celebrity events.
