And we love her for it.
Nicole Kidman Broke a Major Met Gala Rule

Chloe Williams serves as B+C’s Entertainment Editor and resident Taylor Swift expert. Whether she’s writing a movie review or interviewing the stars of the latest hit show, Chloe loves exploring why stories inspire us. You can see her work published in BuzzFeed, Coastal Review, and North Beach Sun. When she’s not writing, Chloe’s probably watching a Marvel movie with a cherry coke or texting her sister about the latest celebrity news.

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?

Warner Bros. Pictures
