Nicole Kidman's reaction to daughter Sunday Rose's modelling debut: 'I don't think so'

Nicole Kidman has shared that she originally didn't want her daughter Sunday Rose to make her modelling debut in the Miu Miu fashion show.

Nicole and Keith Urban's 16-year-old daughter made her first runway appearance at Paris Fashion Week in October this year, but faced intense online scrutiny as she was mocked for her walk and, later on, her accent as she gave a Vogue interview.

Nicole Kidman weighs in on daughter's modelling debut

Nicole, 57, has spoken out about her daughter's entrance into the spotlight, saying she advised Sunday Rose against it first.

Chatting with the Hollywood Reporter, Nicole said her reaction when Sunday first approached her about the modelling opportunity was 'Oh no, I don't think so,' but eventually caved in when designer Miuccia Prada insisted on having Sunday in the show.

Keith Urban says it's a 'challenge' raising kids in the public eye

While Nicole and Keith have kept their daughters' lives fairly private up until this point, Keith recently spoke to PEOPLE about his daughter's blossoming career, saying he hopes that he and Nicole can help her achieve a balance between navigating her newfound fame and being a teenager.

“Hopefully she'll benefit by having two parents that know about a certain amount of celebrity,” he said, saying it can be a “different challenge” for many parents when their children achieve notoriety at a young age.

“It's all a challenge. I mean, raising kids is a challenge, period. It’s about trying to keep a balance,” Keith continued. "It’s all a process, but I think balance is key. Keeping her firmly with schoolwork and structure and everything balanced in its place is key.”

People left confused over Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban's accent

In October, Sunday Rose chatted with Vogue about her first runway experience, saying she had been wanting to do modelling for so long, so when the offer to walk for Miu Miu came through it was all "very exciting".

While Sunday came across as perfectly sweet and lovely in her interview, she's faced the wrath of the internet, with people confused by her accent as well as her sudden rise to fame.

"Love her accent. Australian meets Appalachian," one person commented. "I was trying to figure it out, and you’re right! She's adorable," someone else agreed. "I love her accent! And I’m excited to follow her fashion journey! Go Sunday Rose!" one fan said.

"100% thought she said Sunday Roast," another person joked.

Others weren't so convinced there was any Aussie accent to be found. "I don’t hear even a hint of Oz. She grew up in Nashville," one person stated. "She has a southern accent people," someone else commented.
