Nicole Kidman wants daughters to follow Taylor Swift’s lead.
Especially when the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. The Oscar winner, according to Vogue, pointed to the “Shake It Off” singer when detailing what she tells her daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14 — whom she shares with estranged husband Keith Urban — about dealing with criticism.
“Literally walk away from it,” Kidman explained in a November 2025 cover interview released Oct. 8. “It will destroy you.”
Though Kidman and Urban kept their daughters out of the spotlight for most of their childhoods, they have recently emerged into the public eye, with Sunday Rose making her modeling debut last October. But that’s not to say the “Big Little Lies” star was eager for the teen to take to the runway.
“It’s very frightening for me,” Kidman said, before admitting, “I started working at 14, so I don’t really have a leg to stand on.”

Sunday Rose has only continued to prove her modeling success, taking part in Christian Dior’s spring/summer 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week. Just days later Kidman — who filed for divorce from Urban in September — and sister Faith Margaret had a Parisian mother-daughter day at the Oct. 6 Chanel exhibition.

But amid her ventures into the spotlight, Sunday Rose admitted she had to abide by two key rules set in place by her parents.
“The first was that I couldn’t explore any kind of fashion work until I was 16,” she told Nylon in an interview published in August, “and the second is that school always has to come first, which at first I hated, but I am actually really glad that I have these rules in place because it keeps me in a good mindset.”
And the model plans to continue to balance her multiple interests — and possibly even follow in her Oscar winner mom’s shoes one day.
“I have several interests that I am interested in exploring in college,” Sunday Rose teased. “Filmmaking has actually been my dream career since I was 5, so I hope I’m able to study that in college.”
As for whether fans will one day be able to see Sunday Rose on the big screen, that remains to be seen.
