Another opined, "Another nepo baby attempts distance self from nepo roots [sic]." One netizen remarked, "Remember when the NYLON It Girl was someone cool instead of someone's kid?"

A commenter noted, "Last two slides…. Proving anyone can be a model as long as they're a nepo." Another divulged, "She wouldn't have got where she is if not for her mum. Didn't think people could become models that fast [sic]."

Despite the online reactions to her family background, Sunday has openly addressed the values guiding her entry into the spotlight.

In an interview with Nylon, she explained, "There are two big rules. The first was that I couldn't explore any kind of fashion work until I was 16, and the second is that school always has to come first, which at first I hated, but I am actually really glad that I have these rules in place because it keeps me in a good mindset."

When asked whether people approach her with assumptions due to her parents' fame, Sunday shared, "When people my age meet me, they normally don't know anything about my life, which is sort of wonderful because I am able to make a first impression based on who I am and not who my family is."

Before her Nylon cover, Sunday had already drawn attention in the fashion world. In October 2024, at age 16, she went viral following her runway debut for Miu Miu's 2025 spring/summer collection.

She walked the show in a sleeveless white dress featuring a ribbon-like neckline detail and eyelet trim, paired with black knee socks and open-toe pumps. Her long blonde hair was styled with a center part, tucked behind her ears, and she wore minimal makeup.

Nicole Kidman spoke about her daughter's debut during an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter in December 2024.

When asked about the experience from a mother’s perspective, she said, "That's all driven by her. Me going, 'Oh no, I don't think so.' But Miuccia [Prada] just loved her and was like, 'No, I want her.' And Miuccia is so powerful as a woman. So that was a good match. I sat with Miuccia recently in Italy and said, 'My gosh, I've known you since I was about 23.' I've been in this industry for a while."
