Nicole Kidman has revealed the words of encouragement she gave her daughter Sunday, 16, before the teen made her runway debut.
The 57-year-old movie star shares two daughters with her country singer husband Keith Urban – Faith Margaret, 13, and Sunday Rose.
She also has two grown children called Isabella, 31, and Connor, 29, whom she adopted with her previous husband Tom Cruise.
Sunday walked her first-ever runway at the beginning of this month, hitting the catwalk for Miu Miu at Paris Fashion Week.
Now Nicole has shared the advice she gave her daughter before Sunday took the stage in the French capital, speaking to E! News.

‘I was just like: “You got this baby.” I’m trying to give her her own space, you know? [Not be] overbearing or dominant in any way,’ said Nicole.
She described her own feelings about Sunday’s runway debut as ‘Incredibly proud and supportive’ adding she hoped to ‘Just there for her. Just being a mom.’
Nicole did not attend the Miu Miu show itself, but was seen posing lovingly with her daughter during the brand’s afterparty that evening.
After Sunday walked the runway for Miu Miu, she was quickly roasted online for her severe expression and ‘stomping’ gait, and for being a ‘nepo baby.’
‘Try painting or acting instead. This is not for her,’ wrote one, as another wondered: ‘Oh please why be a model so many other things to do.’
‘I can hear the heels slapping the floor,’ noted still another, as a fourth argued: ‘Stop hiring average looking nepo babies who can’t walk! We need the hungry unknown girls from developing countries who are naturally STUNNING.’
‘She’s trying so hard to look fierce but just looks like a petulant child stomping their feet,’ another social media commentator observed.
Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin’s daughter Amelia Hamlin was also on the Miu Miu runway, as was Sting and Trudy Styler’s daughter Eliot Sumner.

Other celebrities could also be spotted on the catwalk, including actress Hilary Swank and globetrotting supermodel Cara Delevingne.
Shortly after the show, a source exclusively informed DailyMail.com that Nicole was upset by the criticism leveled at her daughter online.
‘Nicole was the same age as Sunday when she landed her first acting role and she was told back then to try something else,’ the insider pointed out.
‘Nicole faced “no’s” without having famous parents to shoe her in the door so she understands the criticism but it also upsets her because she is reminded of the hell she went through when she got her start,’ the source continued.
‘Ultimately, Nicole and Keith are so proud of her and they are letting her forge her own path. Her advice to her daughter was the same advice she gives herself – do not read social media. She will support her in whatever path she chooses.’
