Nicole Kidman's youngest daughter Faith Margaret looked all grown up as she made a rare public appearance alongside her famous mom at the US Open men's semi-final in New York.
The 59-year-old actress was joined by the 15-year-old as they took in the action at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, with the mother-daughter duo appearing relaxed as they made their way through the venue.
Nicole cut a stylish yet understated figure in a pale blue striped button-down shirt, relaxed blue jeans and white sneakers, carrying a small suede handbag as she smiled and flashed a peace sign to photographers.

The teenager has largely grown up away from the spotlight, making her appearance with her Oscar-winning mother all the more notable.

Nicole shares Faith and her elder daughter Sunday Rose, 18, with her former husband Keith Urban. She is also mom to Bella, 33, and Connor, 31, whom she adopted during her marriage to Tom Cruise.
While Nicole has historically been fiercely protective of Faith and Sunday, both girls have begun accompanying their mother to more public events as they have grown older.

At home, however, Nicole described an extremely close family life. "We're a very tight-knit family," she said at the time, revealing that they tried to have sit-down dinners together every night and became anxious if they were separated for more than two days.
As Faith and Sunday have entered their teenage years, Nicole has become increasingly candid about how their relationship has evolved.

Nicole has also said that rather than finding the teenage years intimidating, she considers parenting teenagers "extraordinary", and has spoken of the close and open relationship she has with her girls.
Nicole Kidman's parenting philosophy
Despite their closeness, Nicole recently made it clear that there is an important distinction between being close to her daughters and trying to become their friend. When asked whether she was "mates" with Sunday and Faith, Nicole firmly rejected the idea, explaining that she sees herself first and foremost as their mother and guide.
It's a philosophy that appears to have been shaped by her own relationship with her late mother, Janelle Kidman, who Nicole has frequently credited with giving her both resilience and independence.

"I think growing up in a family that was very much committed to social justice and caring for other people, I think that's penetrated, hopefully, my daughters," she said earlier this year.
Her daughters are now beginning to forge identities of their own.
Sunday has stepped into the fashion world, making her runway debut for Miu Miu during Paris Fashion Week in 2024, while Faith has remained considerably more private.

"I'm raising teenage girls right now, and it's fascinating," she said in a conversation with Ariana Grande, adding that she believes young women today have developed an "armor" against criticism that her own generation didn't have. "They don't take a lot of things personally," she added. "They shrug it off."
And although Faith may be increasingly comfortable stepping out beside her famous mother, Nicole's approach to motherhood remains much the same as it was when her daughters were little. Speaking previously about what family means to her, Nicole said: "It's the thing that gives me more joy than anything and is the basis of it all for me."
