Some mother-daughter duos coordinate down to the shoe color. Nicole Kidman and her youngest daughter, Faith Margaret, apparently did not get that memo, and courtside at the US Open, the two proved that shared DNA doesn’t always come with a shared closet. Kidman showed up in straight-leg baggy jeans, two-tone sneakers, and a striped Chanel button-down worn long over her hips, finished with a cream suede cylinder bag. Faith, 15, went in a completely different direction, choosing a polka dot brown slip dress with a white sweater knotted over her shoulders, leather thong sandals, and her own beige suede Chanel flap bag. The bags matched. Almost nothing else did, and somehow that made the whole thing more charming, like watching two very different painters interpret the same subject.

A Very Witchy Press Tour

This tennis cameo landed in the middle of an unusually busy stretch for Kidman, who has spent the last few weeks on the road with Sandra Bullock promoting Practical Magic 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 1998 cult favorite. Styled by Jason Bolden, Kidman’s red carpet run has leaned fully into the film’s spellbound mood, starting with the Los Angeles premiere, where she wore a black lace Atelier Versace gown that also happened to mark Pieter Mulier‘s first design for the house since being named creative director back in July. It’s the kind of red carpet arc that feels less like promotion and more like a character study, each look building on the last.

The Next Generation Finds Its Footing

Faith’s US Open appearance is only the latest sign that she’s stepping further into the spotlight alongside her mother, having recently joined her in Sydney for the film’s Australian premiere. She’s kept a lower profile than her older sister, Sunday Rose, who’s already a working Miu Miu model, but Faith has quietly built her own resume, from accompanying Kidman to Matthieu Blazy‘s debut show for Chanel last October to appearing alongside her in the launch campaign for Clé de Peau Beauté. There’s something almost Cassatt-like about the whole family dynamic, generations of women photographed together, each one working out her own relationship to being looked at.

If there’s a lesson in the Kidman women’s approach to dressing, it might be that the family resemblance was never going to show up in the wardrobe. It shows up everywhere else instead.
