Nicole Kidman drops nepotism bombshell on red carpet, sparking conversations!

The glitz and glamour of the Golden Globes never fail to capture the attention of audiences worldwide; this year was no exception.

Among the sea of stars, Nicole Kidman, the Australian icon of the silver screen, graced the red carpet with her usual poise and elegance.

However, it wasn't just her stunning Balenciaga gown that had people talking; it was her candid response to a question about her daughter, Sunday Rose, that sparked a flurry of conversation.


At 57, Nicole Kidman has seen her fair share of red carpets, but this one was slightly different.

During an interview, Variety reporter Marc Malkin broached the topic of Kidman's daughter, Sunday Rose, and the actress's reaction was one of protective maternal instinct mixed with the grace of a seasoned Hollywood veteran.

'My beautiful precious baby,' Kidman responded, acknowledging Sunday and her other daughter, Faith.

The term 'nepo baby'—short for 'nepotism baby'—has become a buzzword in the entertainment industry, referring to children of celebrities who follow in their parent's footsteps.

When asked if her daughters would pursue a career in the industry, Kidman's succinct 'Who knows?' shut down further probing into her children's future plans.


Sunday Rose, at just 16, has already made waves in the fashion world, opening the Miu Miu Paris Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show.

Despite the criticism she faced on social media for her runway walk, Nicole stood by her daughter, sharing that she initially advised against the modelling gig but trusted the judgment of Miuccia Prada, whom she has known since she was 23.

The conversation around 'nepo babies' is a complex one. On one hand, it's natural for children to be inspired by their parents' careers and seek to emulate their success.

On the other hand, the debate intensifies when considering the advantages these young individuals may have due to their family connections.

Nicole Kidman's handling of the topic on the red carpet reflects a mother's desire to protect her children while acknowledging the realities of the industry they may choose to enter.


Kidman's appearance at the Golden Globes was not just a moment to discuss her family but a night to celebrate her achievements.

Nominated for Best Performance by an Actress for her role in 'Babygirl,' Kidman once again proved her enduring talent and appeal.

Her choice of attire—a revealing slinky one-shouldered glittering gown—complemented by a Sixties-style bouffant hairstyle, diamond and sapphire drop earrings, and heels showcased her timeless beauty and impeccable sense of style.

If the kiddoes have the talent or skill, let them go for it!

Yes, it's a special case of it, but we still live in a world where it's who you know, not what you know, which is a centuries-old phenomenon (😉).

We've tidied it up more recently by simply calling it "networking."
 
Haven't watched Kidman for years now, she is a wooden actress with little talent, too busy trying to be seen as refined, and was the same in whatever part she was playing so I stopped viewing anything she was in. Now, like a few others, owns a film company so will be in more films -- no thanks.
I believe her acting has improved considerably more recently. But I agree, her earlier efforts were very wooden indeed.
 
Kidman got where she now is through her Tom Cruise connection. As many others have stated, I have never found her to be a good actress. I always think she is expressionless and shows no emotive skill whatsoever. As for her daughter, of course she is going to be promoted as an upcoming star, whether or not she has any talent. And, of course, she is a "nepo" baby.

If anything, Cruise probably harmed her career. She's well rid of him. I think she has actually improved as an actress in recent times but she'll never match Cate. As for Sunday, I haven't seen her work so I can't comment and won't!

Nicole was an actress long before she met Cruise
