Virtue Creative Director Adir Abergel talks products that brought Nicole Kidman and daughter Sunday Rose's Met looks to life.

For Met Gala 2026, Adir Abergel styled Nicole Kidman and Sunday Rose's mother-daughter debut on a single foundation — strength, protection, and shine — then shaped two distinct expressions of the same idea.

Below, the full method behind the look. The same products and technique create a sleek, chic blowout with red carpet polish, translatable for any chair.

Powered by Alpha Keratin 60ku®, Virtue rebuilds and restores hair from within for lasting shine.

The Look 

 

Middle part with ultra-sleek lengths, a soft bend, and a high-gloss shine.

 

The Inspiration

 

“For Nicole and Sunday Rose’s first Met Gala together, I wanted the hair to serve as that quiet, unspoken thread that connects them—woven through femininity, strength, and artistry while still allowing each of their individual expressions to shine.”

— Adir Abergel, Virtue® Creative Director
