Nicole Kidman praises her teenage girls for keeping her 'grounded' after they make red carpet debut

Nicole Kidman has praised her teenage girls, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, for keeping her grounded amid her Hollywood status.

The Emmy, Golden Globe and Oscar winner, who shares her teens with Keith Urban, revealed that although the pair are "very supportive" they also tell him when to "calm down".

It came after the teens made their red carpet debut at their mom's recent American Film Institute Life Achievement Award ceremony in Los Angeles, and Nicole shared that what she loved was that the "whole family was there".

"It was a really warm night," the actress reflected, speaking to People .

"My sister came, and my girls. That was the first time that they'd ever been on a red carpet, and Keith was there. I had all my nieces and nephews as well. The whole family was there, and that's what I loved. It also made me look back, which is not something I often do.”

For their first big moment in the spotlight, the teens both wore gorgeous Monique Lhuillier gowns; Sunday wore a stunning white floral dress with a sweetheart neckline, while her younger sister wore a strapless red dress with a mermaid skirt.

Nicole rocked a sparkling gold sequin Balenciaga dress, a brand she adores as she also attended their 53rd Couture Collection as part of Paris Fashion Week alongside Sunday, with the 15-year-old her mom's adorable clone.

Nicole, 57, opted for a floor-length shimmering Balenciaga black gown while Sunday kept things chic in a full-sleeved black velvet mini dress with sheer tights and a pair of stiletto heels.

Others at the couture show included Nicole's close friend Naomi Watts, Katy Perry, Kerry Washington, and Joey King, whom she stars alongside in The Family Affair, out on Netflix now.
