Nicole Kidman’s 17-Year-Old Daughter Sunday Rose Breaks Major Met Gala Rule During Debut
Nicole Kidman’s daughter, Sunday Rose, made her highly anticipated Met Gala debut on May 1, 2026, as her mother co-chaired the prestigious event. However, the 17-year-old broke a significant rule regarding age restrictions at the gala.
A Star-Studded Event
The Met Gala, an annual fundraising gala for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, attracts the biggest names in fashion and entertainment. This year, Nicole Kidman co-chaired the event alongside Venus Williams, Beyoncé, and Dame Anna Wintour. The event is known for its exclusive guest list, which is strictly invite-only, with brands permitted to have celebrities represent them. Dame Anna Wintour, the event’s organizer, has the final say on invitations.
Age Restrictions at the Gala
Historically, the Met Gala has enforced an age limit for attendees. In previous years, it was confirmed that the event was intended for those aged 18 and older. In 2018, Maddie Ziegler expressed her disappointment at being “not old enough” to attend. Organizers have reiterated that the gala is “not an appropriate event for people under 18.”
Despite this, Sunday Rose attended the gala, raising eyebrows regarding the adherence to age restrictions. She was not the only young celebrity present; Beyoncé brought her 14-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, to the event for the first time.
Celebrity Fashion Highlights
Sunday Rose turned heads in a custom Dior gown adorned with pink and lavender floral embellishments. She complemented her look with matching earrings and styled her hair long and flowing. Nicole Kidman, on the other hand, wore a striking red sequined gown from Chanel, accessorized with Chanel jewelry and an Omega watch.
In a statement, Nicole Kidman expressed her desire to wear red to symbolize love, vitality, and motherhood. Sunday described her gown as “really special,” aiming to symbolize blooming, reflecting her excitement for her first Met Gala experience.
A Family Affair
Beyoncé, who attended with her husband Jay-Z, expressed her emotional connection to the event, stating it was “surreal” for Blue Ivy to join her on the red carpet. The singer wore a crystal skeleton gown, while Blue Ivy donned a white Balenciaga gown, marking a memorable family moment.
The Theme of the Night
This year’s Met Gala theme was “Costume Art,” with a dress code of “Fashion Is Art.” Attendees were encouraged to explore the connection between clothing and the body, as well as the relationship between artistic representations and fashion.
Nicole Kidman has previously co-chaired the Met Gala twice, first in 2003 and again in 2005. This year marked her third time in this role, showcasing her enduring influence in the fashion world.
