It’s a tense time to be a nepo baby. On one hand, we have Romy Mars coaxing Jacob Elordi into TikTok dances, and Elon Musk’s daughter Vivian using her platform to relentlessly troll her father. (As she should). On the other hand, there are the slightly less inspiring, faux-humble, multi-hyphenate creatives, but I’ll leave names out of this. Personally, I am pro nepo—especially when the offspring pays their dues to their famous parents and, crucially, to their parents’s legendary looks.
Case in point: Sunday Rose, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s 17-year-old daughter, is currently making the rounds at New York Fashion Week. Rather than shying away from her nepo credentials, Sunday is leaning in. Much like Lila Moss faithfully channeling Kate’s most iconic looks via sheer slip dresses, LBDs, and beaten-up leather jackets, Sunday is embracing two of ’90s Nicole’s signatures: micro-sunglasses and tousled curls. The result is a Gen Z-meets-mini-Nicole moment that feels like a respectful nod to her famous family lineage.
It’s a style that, today, with the current trend rotation, is pretty easy to replicate yourself. Think tailored separates and said teensy, weensy vintage sunglasses, baby tees under blazers, tank tops with suit trousers. In need of a Nicole Kidman refresher? Circle back to the red carpet and street style moments she enjoyed while making movies like To Die For, The Portrait of a Lady, Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge!, The Others, and The Hours.
After making her runway debut for Miu Miu last year—alongside a star-studded line-up that included Alexa Chung, Little Simz, Hilary Swank, and Willem Dafoe—Sunday Rose Kidman Urban is claiming her place as part of fashion’s new nepo-baby wave. Also spotted hanging out with the aforementioned Romy Mars at the launch of Sofia Coppola’s new Chanel Haute Couture publication, could this be a sign that the band of TikTok-literate offspring is recruiting for its newest members? Nepo babies, your time is now.
