Nicole Kidman and her 15-year-old daughter, Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, sat courtside at the 2026 US Open on September 11, and their outfits told two very different fashion stories. The pair attended day thirteen of the tournament at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the men's singles semifinals, and while they arrived together, their styling choices split in opposite directions — one polished and label-driven, the other loose and playfully seasonal.
Kidman's look leaned into her current role as a Chanel brand ambassador. She wore a cropped, blue-and-white striped button-down layered over loose, medium-wash jeans with frayed hems, finished with a tan handbag carrying dark brown leather trim. On her feet, she wore Chanel sneakers from the house's 2026 collection, a low-profile pair in white calfskin and embossed suede, with black capping the rounded toes and oversized interlocking CC logos running along the sides. Small burgundy tabs at the heel echoed the color she carried elsewhere in the outfit. The sneakers and bag are widely credited to Chanel, and the shirt has been identified by WWD as coming from Charvet, the historic Parisian shirtmaker acquired by Chanel earlier this year following a collaboration with artistic director Matthieu Blazy — a detail that adds a layer of brand continuity to Kidman's off-duty dressing.

Faith took the opposite approach. She wore a burgundy, polka-dot slipdress with a ruffled hem that fell to ankle length, paired with brown sandals and a white sweater knotted loosely around her shoulders. A taupe bag on a thin chain strap completed the look. Where her mother's outfit read as considered and Chanel-forward, Faith's felt more relaxed and current, closer to the kind of tennis-adjacent dressing younger stars have favored throughout the tournament: soft prints, exposed ankles and a cardigan or sweater draped rather than worn.
The outing marked a rare joint public appearance for the pair. Faith has kept a lower profile than her older sister, Sunday Rose, who began modeling at 16 and walked in Paris Fashion Week in 2024, but she has started to appear alongside her mother more often this year, including in a Clé de Peau Beauté campaign.
Their contrasting outfits fit into a wider pattern at this year's US Open, where celebrities have leaned into tenniscore without necessarily wearing tennis whites. Tate McRae paired Adidas knitwear with Stan Smith sneakers and a Gucci bag, Gayle King brought her own tennis-inspired styling to the tournament's blue carpet, and Kaia Gerber opted for a little black dress with a Fendi baguette rather than traditional court attire. Against that backdrop, the Kidman-Urban outing reads less as a single outfit moment and more as a demonstration of how differently tennis-inspired dressing can be interpreted — from Kidman's tailored, accessory-heavy take to Faith's looser, print-driven one.
Neither look leaned on literal sport signifiers like racket motifs or visors; instead, both used silhouette and texture to nod to the setting while staying grounded in their own personal style. That distinction has become part of what makes US Open style-watching notable in recent years, with the tournament functioning as much as a fashion moment as a sporting one.
