Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s daughter, Sunday Rose, made a stunning appearance at the 2024 AFI Life Achievement Award gala, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on April 27. This event was particularly special as it honored Kidman for her significant contributions to the film industry.
Sunday, who is 15 years old, dazzled in a beautiful silk floral gown from Monique Lhuillier’s spring 2024 ready-to-wear collection. The gown featured a draped sweetheart bodice and a high front slit, perfectly complementing her youthful elegance.
Her younger sister, Faith Margaret, aged 12, also turned heads in a striking coral red strapless gown from Monique Lhuillier’s fall 2023 collection. The dress was inspired by ‘80s haute couture, showcasing a side-draped bodice and a mermaid skirt that highlighted her playful spirit.
The gala marked a significant milestone for the family, as it was the first time Sunday and Faith walked the red carpet alongside their mother. Nicole Kidman, 56, looked radiant in a custom Balenciaga gown adorned with gold sequins, styled by Jason Bolden. She was accompanied by her husband, Keith Urban, who wore a classic black suit with silk lapels, creating a picture-perfect family moment.
During her acceptance speech, Kidman expressed her gratitude for her family’s support, emphasizing the importance of love in her life. She shared, “Big, big love. And then right there is the love of my life, and the loves of my life. My daughters have never been anywhere publicly with me on a red carpet; tonight was their first night, so they’re here, Sunday and Faith.”
Kidman also acknowledged the absence of her mother at the event, noting that she was watching via live stream. Her heartfelt words resonated with the audience as she reflected on the love and support from her family, including her nieces and nephews.
The event was attended by numerous celebrities, including Reese Witherspoon, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Meryl Streep, all there to celebrate Kidman’s remarkable career. The AFI Life Achievement Award has been presented since 1973 to individuals whose work has significantly enriched American culture through film and television.
In an exclusive interview, Kidman shared her thoughts on having Sunday and Faith witness such a pivotal moment in her career. She humorously remarked that her daughters were more interested in the post-event party than the ceremony itself, highlighting their youthful excitement.
As the night unfolded, Kidman was surrounded by friends and colleagues who paid tribute to her achievements. The atmosphere was filled with admiration and celebration, marking a memorable evening for the Kidman-Urban family.
The gala not only celebrated Kidman’s illustrious career but also showcased the next generation of talent in the Urban-Kidman family. Both Sunday and Faith have already made appearances in projects alongside their mother, including “The Angry Birds Movie 2” and “Big Little Lies.”
As the evening came to a close, Kidman reflected on her journey in the film industry, sharing a nostalgic video from her early acting days. She expressed her gratitude for the talented individuals she has worked with throughout her career, emphasizing the unpredictability of her path.
The 49th AFI Life Achievement Award gala was a night to remember, not just for Nicole Kidman but for her daughters, who shone brightly alongside their mother. The event marked a new chapter in their family’s story, as Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret stepped into the spotlight, ready to embrace their own journeys in the world of entertainment.
