Suri Cruise may be following in her mom’s designing footsteps.
The little fashionista already likes to alter her own clothing, just like her mama.
Katie Holmes was the youngest of five children and would receive hand-me-downs from her older siblings. She would customize them herself.
The 31-year-old actress and wife of Tom Cruise now has her own clothing line, Holmes & Yang. Her 4-year-old daughter seems to be following in her footsteps; she too enjoys altering her own clothing.
“Suri and I do that now with her clothes,” says the former Dawson’s Creek star. “Or rather, she does it. She says, ‘I want this sleeve cut,’ and it’s like, ‘Okay, we’ll cut it.’ She picks out all of her own clothes and has since she was one-and-a-half.”
Katie began designing clothes for her daughter soon after her birth. “I started making clothes for Suri when she was born, designing dresses, and then having seamstresses sew them, because I don’t sew very well.”
In the course of human history, I think no pair of tiny feet has been the subject of as much attention as little Suri Cruise’s. (Okay, maybe not the course of human history. But certainly the course of the blogosphere.)
Be it the high heels or the pig slippers, the thousands of dollars spent, or the fact that she seldom seems to actually walk on them, Suri Cruise’s feet are a source of endless fascination. Will she look back one day, upon the written record of the internet, and wonder why in the world we are all so obsessed with her footwear? If so, let me do my small part and add another dimension to the toenail gazing: for all the money spent on her shoes, she sure seems to go barefoot a lot.
Don’t get me wrong, it works well with her outfit here, which might actually be a nightgown. But why no shoes? She’s not at the beach—she’s out shopping. Are her shoes in the car? In her mother’s purse? Are her pig slippers resting? What gives?
It’s the Dr. Jeckell and Mr. Hyde aspect of all of this that I find so confusing. I mean, who cares so deeply about their child’s appearance that they spend a reported $3 million dollars on the kid’s wardrobe and then figures, “Oh, to hell with it. Let her go barefoot.” It just doesn’t make any sense to me. And I gotta say, I picture Tom Cruise to be the kid of guy who wears shower shoes in his own bathroom, so I can’t imagine he’s on board with Suri’s naked little feet picking up all sorts of crud in the little hipster boutiques of Malibu, or wherever she shops.
Alas, Suri Cruise continues to be an enigma. I suppose I will just have to learn to live with it, until she’s old enough to write her first tell-all. Until then, more photos of Suri, her bare feet and a seemingly unfazed Katie Holmes, after the jump. Continue reading »
Suri Cruise is just 3 years old and already a fashion icon for the under four feet tall set. Tom and Katie are reportedly spending $3 million on her per year, a sum which includes countless clothes and a $30,000 custom-made miniature of an Indianapolis 500 race car.
Now, there is no doubt, absolutely none, that any parent, no matter how wealthy, should spend that much on a child. Being this spoiled can not be good for anyone’s development unless of course, it’s mine and someone with that kind of income would like to adopt me. But as damaging as all this attention and luxury is to her, how damaging is it to Tom’s other children Connor, 15, and Isabella, 17? I know I’m jealous of Suri and I’m not even related!

Katie Holmes took daughter Suri Cruise out shopping in L.A. Monday, and according to People.com, paid a visit to children’s clothing store Petit Ami and bought floral print dresses.
The dresses, in case you’re wondering — and we know you were — retail for about $68. The price tag is peanuts to Suri, who parades around in a reported $3 million wardrobe. The three-year-old is frequently spotted in designer dresses, heels and even lipstick.
As 3-year-old Suri’s interest in high heels, $800 purses and makeup has been making headlines, there’s been some concern that Tom and Katie are letting their little girl grow up too fast. Namely, everyone’s wondering: Does Suri boss her parents around, or do they encourage her to dress like that? Either way, it’s a little weird.
Well don’t worry. Adam Brody, who worked with Katie on The Romantics, says that nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, they say Suri’s very “down-to-earth.” Continue reading »
There’s no doubt about it, Suri is a privileged toddler. Tabloids love to print stories about her. A new one from Star Magazine claims that Tom Cruise is such the doting dad that it’s causing riffs between him and Katie Holmes.
Ever since I heard that Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise have spent over $3 million on Suri’s wardrobe, I have to admit I’m a little intrigued as to how much each of this pieces cost. Suri looks adorable here, but how much did that dress set TomKat back? The pants? The shoes? Is that a $500 cashmere sweater? I’m losing sleep over here, people.
