Nicole Kidman's daughter Sunday Rose is quickly becoming a regular in the modeling world at just 16 years old.
The 'nepo baby' has landed a major campaign with the Italian luxury fashion house Miu Miu.
She is the face of the brand's Spring/Summer 2025 'Duets' campaign alongside the likes of mom Nicole's former co-star Joey King and Chinese actress Liu Haocun.
In the new campaign shot, a stoic Sunday Rose poses in a chair while holding a large Miu Miu purse in front of her legs.
The makeup-free teenager modeled a casual Miu Miu outfit consisting of a beige coat, a red zip-up sweater layered over a white frock and colorful platform sandals.
She also appears in a promotional video for the collection — which centers around 'precision and simplicity.' The footage shows Sunday Rose staring at her reflection in a mirror before pretending to play the flute.
Sunday Rose's new campaign comes three months after she was roasted online over her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week in October.
Nicole Kidman 's daughter Sunday Rose is quickly becoming a superstar in the modeling world at just 16 years old. The ' nepo baby ' just landed a fashion campaign with the Italian luxury fashion house Miu Miu
She opened the Miu Miu Paris Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show, which was attended by the likes Willem Dafoe and Hillary Swank.
She shared the catwalk with fellow nepo babies Amelia Grey Hamlin, who's the daughter of Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna, and Eliot Sumner, who is the child of The Police frontman Sting and wife Trudy Styler.
Sunday Rose strutted in a white sleeveless dress — the same one from the campaign image — paired with gray leg-warmers and black peep-toe heels.
While her mom Nicole showed her support both at the show and following her runway debut, many critics on the internet hit out at Sunday Rose's walk.
Some people suggested she take runway lessons, while others simply complained that too many nepo babies think they can model.
Sunday Rose's serious stomp quickly went viral on TikTok, with commenters calling her out and suggesting she find another career path.
'Try painting or acting instead. This is not for her,' one suggested, as another commenter agreed, 'Oh please why be a model so many other things to do.'
'I can hear the heels slapping the floor,' another person critiqued.

'Stop hiring average looking nepo babies who can't walk! We need the hungry unknown girls from developing countries who are naturally STUNNING,' one fashion fan said.
Someone else chimed in, 'This is unfair to girls who don't have famous parents. This girl is no model.'
'She's trying so hard to look fierce but just looks like a petulant child stomping their feet,' one popular comment read as another person said, 'Looking like she's walking down to her WWE match.'
'Who was her coach?' one TikTok user questioned, with many people suggesting her A-list parent's pay for modeling lessons.
Not everyone was so negative, with one person coming to her defense and writing, 'She's only 16 so don't be too mean,' although they added, 'but nepotism is alive and well.'
'Be kind to her she's 16! Of course she'd agree!! Be angry at casting director,' one defender announced.
Days after Sunday Rose's controversial catwalk appearance, her dad Keith Urban spoke to PEOPLE about how 'proud' he was of her.

But the proud dad also stated that he and Nicole are dedicated to keeping their daughter 'balanced' amid her modeling pursuits.
'Hopefully we can just help her keep balance with everything through all of that. Hopefully she'll benefit by having two parents that know about a certain amount of celebrity,' he told the outlet.
'It's all a challenge. I mean, raising kids is a challenge, period. It's about trying to keep a balance. 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,' he added.
Several weeks later, Nicole told E! News that she tried not to be 'overbearing or dominant in any way' as her Sunday Rose prepared to take the runway.
She also remarked that she's 'incredibly proud and supportive' of Sunday Rose's career and that she's focused on 'just being a mom' to the rising model.
Nicole further addressed her daughter's runway debut last month while speaking to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Oscar-winner admitted that she had advised against it at first but that Miuccia Prada, the founder of Miu Miu, convinced her to let Sunday Rose partake in the show.

'But Miuccia just loved her and was like, "No, I want her." And Miuccia is so powerful as a woman. So that was a good match,' Nicole told the outlet.
She said that trusted Miuccia's expertise because she's known the 75-year-old billionaire fashion mogul since she was 23 years old.
Along with Sunday Rose, Nicole and longtime husband Keith also share 14-year-old daughter Faith Margaret.
The acclaimed actress and the 57-year-old country crooner have been married since 2006.
Nicole also has daughter Isabella, 31, and son Connor, 29, with ex-husband Tom Cruise, 62.
