Keith Urban Is ‘Very Proud’ of Daughter Sunday Rose for Making Her Runway Debut During Paris Fashion Week (Exclusive)

Keith Urban is a “very proud” father after watching his 16-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose, make her runway debut during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, Oct, 1. 

“Hopefully we can just help her keep balance with everything through all of that,” the "Somebody Like You" singer, 56, tells PEOPLE on Thursday, Oct. 3 ahead of his Las Vegas residency. 

As the daughter of the country music superstar and actress Nicole Kidman, 57, this could very well be the first of many runway struts. But, Urban still wants to be protective of his daughter. 

“Hopefully she'll benefit by having two parents that know about a certain amount of celebrity,” he says, believing 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,” Urban says. "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.”

For her runway debut, as part of Miu Miu's spring/summer 2025 show, Sunday Rose wore a sleeveless white dress with a ribbon-like detail on the neckline and eyelet trim. The ensemble was contrasted with black knee socks and black open-toe pumps. The teen's long blonde hair was parted in the center and tucked behind her ears and she wore a minimal makeup look.

Others who walked the star-studded Miu Miu runway included Willem Dafoe, Alexa Chung, Cara Delevingne and Hilary Swank.

Following the modeling debut, Sunday Rose spoke with Vogue, saying she was “really stressed” in the lead up to the show. She added, “I've been wanting to do this for so long and so when the offer came through, it was really exciting. And now the day is finally here!" 

While the public display was new for Sunday Rose, it’s old hat for her father, who is set to begin 10-date limited engagement at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Friday. Called HIGH in Las Vegas, the show will incorporate much of Urban’s catalog, including new songs, which will be performed for the first time.

“I feel really lucky, blessed and grateful that I have songs that have stood the test of time that I passionately love,” he said before rehearsals inside the BleauLive Theater. “We do 'Somebody Like You.' I passionately love that song. We do a song called 'Where the Blacktop Ends.' It was on my very first album. I'm passionate about that song… So I feel really grateful that I've got songs that the bones have been good, and so they've stood the test of time.”
