Nicole Kidman Broke a Major Met Gala Rule

Nicole Kidman is making Met Gala history by bringing her 17-year-old daughter Sunday Rose as her date. In the past, you had to be 18 years old to attend, but it looks like the actress (who's co-chairing with Beyoncé, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour) was able to make an exception.

I know my mom would break just about any rule for me and it looks like Nicole has that same kind of ferocious Mama Bear love! Honestly, I love seeing couples show up on the red carpet but I love this mother-daughter duo even more.

On the Vogue livestream, Nicole mentioned that she chose a red dress from Chanel because of the vitality, love, and power of the color throughout the history of art, while Sunday chose a Dior purple dress with flowers to symbolize blooming and springtime. She and I are on the same wavelength! I have been all about flowers lately.

I love the bright colors and different textures but I do wish Nicole had gone a little more creative and avant-garde by adding in an unexpected silhouette or pattern Maybe the co-chairs like to keep things a little more low-key?
