The Stunning Transformation Of Suri Cruise

What is it about celebrity kids that make us go gaga? Is it the adorable clothes, the glamorous inner circle of A-list family and friends, or the 24/7 paparazzi documenting their every move? One person who encapsulates all this and more wrapped in a sparkly bow of mystery is Suri Cruise. 

Suri, the daughter of " Top Gun: Maverick " star Tom Cruise and " Dawson's Creek " actress Katie Holmes, has been a household name since her birth in 2006. While her mom intentionally keeps Suri's private life under wraps — as of this writing, Suri does not have any verified social media accounts — the public has remained captivated by the young celebrity's style, background, ties with Scientology, and future endeavors. 

Check out how Suri has transformed throughout the years right before our eyes, starting with her parents' very public whirlwind romance, continuing through their equally public divorce, and where that leaves Suri today. 

Suri Cruise's birth was 'powerful' and 'spiritual'

On April 18, 2006, Suri Cruise was born in Santa Monica, California, to Hollywood superstar couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, at the time publicly known as " TomKat ." Holmes had been previously told Seventeen magazine  that she "used to think that I was going to marry Tom Cruise," so the public became enchanted as Holmes and Cruise, over the course of a year and some enthusiastic couch-jumping, eventually did begin to date in 2005. The couple quickly become engaged and announced they were expecting a child together in October 2005, according to  People . Cruise was reportedly so excited that he even  bought a sonogram machine in order to see baby Suri in utero.

The name Suri, according to Cruise in an interview with  Vanity Fair , came from a baby-naming book, and means "red rose."  CBS News reported that Suri was born weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and measuring 20 inches long. 

"It was everything that we wanted it to be," Cruise said in an interview days after the birth with "20/20's" Deborah Roberts (via  ABC News ). "It was spiritual. It was powerful. It was indescribable. What words can you use? It's still something that I'm processing and keep reliving."

She was the most special guest at her parents' wedding

Suri was the guest of honor at Cruise and Holmes' wedding on November 18, 2006. The new parents shared nuptials in a star-studded ceremony inside the 15th-century Italian Odescalchi Castle outside Rome (per  Us Weekly ). The lavish celebration reportedly cost upwards of $3 million , and featured a dinner serenade by Andrea Bocelli, and not one but two Armani wedding gowns worn by Holmes throughout the night. 

According to Hello! Magazine , Katie wore one of the two gowns as she arrived to the castle, carrying a 7-month-old Suri. The celebrity guest list included Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, David and Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Leah Remini. According to E! Online , also in attendance were Cruise's two older kids  Connor and Isabella (whom he adopted with Nicole Kidman); Holmes' maid of honor, her sister Nancy Blaylock; and Cruise's best man, Scientology leader David Miscavige.

Suri Cruise was a trendsetter before she could walk

Throughout the course of their six-year marriage, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes became persistent tabloid icons — as did Suri Cruise. The family had the constant attention of paparazzi , whether they were walking down the street for a family outing in NYC or on the red carpet while promoting a film release. 

Suri quickly became a style icon — even before she could walk. By the time she was five years old, Suri had already accrued a wardrobe worth approximately $3.2 million, including $150,000 worth of shoes alone (as reported by the Daily Mail ). Her collection included high fashion brands such as Dolce and Gabbana and Ferragamo. According to Marie Claire UK , Suri even became the subject of the eponymous "Suri Cruise Effect," in which parents were influenced by the chic wardrobes of A-list celebrity children and spent top dollar on the latest fashions for their own toddlers. The young influencer's parents generated media buzz concerning questionable fashion choices, including allowing Suri to dress in high heels  and letting their young child wear  lipstick and manicured nails . 

What happened to Suri during TomKat's divorce?

Tom and Katie called it quits in the summer of 2012. According to CBS News , Cruise said he "didn't expect" Holmes to file for divorce. He received the news while on set for his film, "Oblivion," per  People . Proceedings moved swiftly, and the couple reached a settlement after just 11 days (per InStyle ). Holmes was awarded primary custody of Suri in the divorce, with Cruise gaining visitation rights. While Holmes did not receive spousal support in the settlement with Cruise, according to The Hollywood Reporter , Suri is set to receive $400,000 in child support per year until her 18th birthday. Cruise is also required to pay for Suri's expenses, including medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs.

"We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests," a joint statement read (via  The Hollywood Reporter ). "We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents."

Suri has a complicated relationship with father Tom Cruise

Tom and Suri Cruise haven't been seen in public together since a visit to Disneyland in 2012, as reported by Yahoo . According to Us Weekly , the "Mission: Impossible" leading man has the right to see his daughter up to ten days a month, but chooses not to, allegedly because of Holmes and Suri's distance from the Church of Scientology. According to Huff Post , Tom admitted that post-divorce, Holmes and Suri were no longer practicing Scientologists. 

In a deposition with Bauer Media, Cruise was asked whether he and the church considered Holmes a " Suppressive Person ," or someone who tries to keep others down. "That is a distortion and a simplification of the matter. I don't want to just give an oversimplification of religious doctrine," Cruise said. According to Scientology expert Rick Ross, Church followers are taught to avoid Suppressive Persons (SPs) and "Potential Trouble Sources," (PTS). "Tom Cruise would not want to come in contact with an SP. And if he views his daughter as a PTS, which is very likely, he would not be that excited about dealing with her either," Ross told  Hollywood Life .

In June 2014, InTouch  reported that Cruise had not seen or spoken to his daughter in 1,000 days. In April 2019, an insider told Hollywood Life that Tom "still loves" Suri and that "Tom never intended to be estranged from his daughter," and "looks forward to repairing the relationship one day."

Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes delight in mother-daughter bonding

After the divorce, Katie Holmes was granted primary custody, and immediately uprooted Suri Cruise from California to NYC. According to the  NY Daily News , Holmes enrolled Suri, then 6 years old, in first grade at Avenues, a Chelsea private school with a $40,000 tuition. In an interview with InStyle , Holmes opened up and confessed that the time post-divorce was "intense" as a newly single mom. "It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child on top of it. We had some funny moments out and about in public. So many people I didn't know became my friends and helped us out, and that's what I love about the city," Holmes said. 

While Suri's digital presence is highly curated and limited, even on Holmes' own Instagram , the mother-daughter duo doesn't hold back when it comes to displaying their  close relationship during public appearances. Suri and her mom have been seen at each others' hips at events such as the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards  and the Z100 Jingle Ball introducing Taylor Swift, and have even been spotted strutting the streets of Manhattan wearing matching outfits . 

"I was happy to become a mum in my twenties. It's been nice that our ages fit ... how do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together," Holmes said in an interview with Elle . 

She's been called 'one of Hollywood's most iconic teens'

Suri Cruise turned 13 in April 2019, and was immediately labeled by ET Online as "One of Hollywood's Most Iconic Teens." Through glimpses of Suri's life on her mom's Instagram page, we can tell she's already becoming a  stylish and confident young lady. The proud mama shared a rare video on her Instagram of Suri in black-and-white bounding through an empty street. In an interview with " Today ," Katie Holmes said her parenting secret for raising a down-to-earth teen is to "listen" to her daily and "reward her for hard work." 

"I do a lot to put perspective on life," Holmes said. "We help out the homeless. We do small acts of kindness. I don't over-gift. I don't inundate my child with a lot of things. We're trying to raise good humans and some days we're better at it than others. We just focus on what she's passionate about and how you feel when you achieve your goals." She continued, joking, "I also demand a 100 on a spelling test!"

She quarantined with mom in NYC during the pandemic

Katie Holmes said she and Suri Cruise were in and out of New York during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020, according to Yahoo Entertainment . The duo remained quarantined in their NYC apartment during lockdown. Holmes even shared a candid photo of Suri celebrating her 14th birthday on her Instagram . "This lockdown has had a lot of silver linings. It was a beautiful moment. I think when you have less, you are more creative," Holmes told " Entertainment Tonight " in an interview. "This year has also been a reminder that the simple things are really beautiful and that is, those are the gifts of life," she said. 

In an interview with  Yahoo Entertainment , Holmes was asked about how she felt about Suri (and her NYC classmates) possibly re-entering school in a post-COVID pandemic environment. "I want everyone to be safe as possible," she said. "It's a hard one: I have no expertise on this in terms of health measures, but I just want to be as smart as possible for the whole community and to really prevent anyone from getting sick. My heart really goes out to all the people who have lost people."

Teen Suri stuts the streets of NYC like a runway

As an independent teen, Suri sightings are becoming more frequent in public as the teen explores NYC with her friends. According to Hollywood Life , Suri Cruise is looking more and more like her mom Katie Holmes every day — and becoming a Gen-Z style icon. During a visit to the Harry Potter store in the Flatiron district of Manhattan, Suri and friends were seen rocking Slytherin house colors and bringing back 2000s clothing staples like floral midi skirts and converse sneakers (possibly raiding her mom's "Dawson Creek" character Joey Potter's closet?). This wasn't the first time the young starlet stepped out in vintage threads: She's been spotted bringing low rider flare jeans back in style, too (per Hollywood Life ). Holmes and Suri's mother-daughter bond is still going strong as well, with Momma Holmes showing off their adventures in tie-dye together on Instagram . 

"I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality. To make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it. She came out very strong — she's always been a strong personality. She'll pick an activity and work her butt off until she's really good at it. Then she's like, 'OK, I'm going to try the next thing.' She's very focused and a hard worker," Holmes said in an interview with InStyle . 

Suri celebrates her sweet sixteenth

Suri Cruise celebrated her sweet sixteenth birthday in April 2022. The teen still keeps a low profile online, but every now and then proud mom Katie Holmes will send out a loving post on Instagram to celebrate with fans. Holmes' last Instagram  post featuring Suri was for her daughter's birthday the year before, with the caption, "Happy 15th Birthday Sweetheart! I love you!!!!!!!! I can't believe you are already 15!"

Nevertheless, witnessing her daughter transform and grow over the years hasn't always been easy for Katie Holmes. "Every day, kids get a little further away from you," she told Town & Country (via HuffPost ). "That's a positive thing. They should be becoming more independent, but it's heartbreaking." She continued, saying, "You want them to stay with you forever, but they're these amazing beings, and you have to do everything you can to give them what they need ― and then they're going to go. And that's going to be very, very sad for me."

In June 2022, Katie Holmes introduced Suri to her new boyfriend, Bobby Wooten III (via  Stylecaster ). According to Elle , Wooten, a musician and composer, made his public debut as a couple with Holmes in May at The Moth's 25th Anniversary gala, The Silver Ball, held at Spring Studios in New York City. An insider revealed to  Hollywood Life  that Suri "absolutely approves" of Wooten. "Bobby treats Suri like an adult, which she likes and Suri thinks it is great to see her mom happy," the insider said. 

Suri is growing up to look like like her mother

Suri Cruise is Katie Holmes' mini-me. In 2023, Suri was photographed buying flowers on Mother's Day, and the young woman is the spitting image of her mother. Over the years, headlines everywhere have noted how similar the mother and daughter look to each other, but now that Suri is almost an adult, the resemblance is even more uncanny. The duo share the same long, chocolate brown hair, angel face, and sweet, signature smile . Even their eyes are similar shades of green, although Holmes' hazel eyes have a tint of brown, while Suri's are solid green. Suri is also almost as tall as her five foot, nine inches mother, beating her dad Tom Cruise's height before she even turned 18. Suri and Holmes also share the same slender physique.

On Holmes' birthday in December 2022, she shared a throwback picture of herself as a child on Instagram, and she looks exactly like Suri did when she was younger. In fact, if you didn't read the caption, you might have mistaken it for a picture of Suri.

Her voice has been featured in two of her mom's films

Because of their close bond, it was inevitable that Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes would eventually work together. In July 2022, Holmes revealed to Yahoo Entertainment that Suri's vocals were featured on not one, but two of her movies.

Suri's cover of the hit song "Blue Moon" was featured in the credits of the film "Alone Together," which was written, directed, and starred in by Holmes . "I always want the highest level of talent," Holmes said. "So I asked her! She's very, very talented." The "Dawson's Creek" star added that she gave her daughter creative freedom. "That's the way I direct in general: It's like, 'This is what I think we all want — go do your thing.'" Suri's vocals were also featured in the film "Rare Objects," also directed by Holmes, which is a period drama based on Kathleen Tessaro's novel. Holmes dedicated the film to Suri in the end credits.

In a 2023 interview with Glamour , Holmes gushed about the opportunity to work with her daughter. "I hope she always does something on my films. I always ask her," she said. "But both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people. And it's this safe, beautiful, creative space. So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly."

Suri reportedly wants to attend fashion school

Considering the outfits of Suri Cruise have garnered the attention of fashion blogs and enthusiasts alike, it's no surprise that the style icon is reportedly considering attending fashion school in New York City when she graduates from high school.

"Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective," a source told Daily Mail. It's reported that Holmes is helping Suri with applications, while the only input her estranged father Tom Cruise will have is paying the college tuition costs as per the divorce agreement between him and Holmes.

Fashion school seems like the perfect choice for Suri, as she was already dishing out fashion advice to her mom at the age of four. "Like today I'm wearing brown suede pants, and [Suri] said, 'I don't like your pants.' But then she'll say, 'You've got to wear these shoes.' Or 'That's so pretty, Mom. Wear that.' She's got a great eye," Holmes told Elle in 2011 (via People ). Suri's interest in fashion no doubt stems from her mother, whose name these days is more synonymous with fashion than it is acting. Holmes is always in attendance at fashion weeks, she's graced the covers of multiple fashion magazines, and even co–founded her own clothing label in 2008 called "Holmes & Yang." 

Suri likes staying active

It's no secret that Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes do everything together, and that includes working out. In an interview with Shape magazine, Holmes opened up about her workout routine and more importantly, her workout buddy. "Sometimes I work out with my daughter. It just depends on the day," she said. "We have our routines, and occasionally they overlap. But I don't force her to work out with me because I know that's lame."

The two have been workout buddies for a while. In 2019, Holmes and then-13-year-old Suri were photographed leaving a yoga studio together, decked out in stylish yoga gear. It seems Holmes, who works out 4 times a week, is passing down her healthy habits and active lifestyle to her daughter. "Working out gets me ready for what's ahead and releases whatever frustrations I might have. Afterward I'm like, 'OK, now I can focus on what's right in front of me," Holmes told Shape.

Suri is often photographed strolling the streets in athletic wear. While it's unknown whether she's just visited the gym or gone for a run, her love of workout gear and toned physique makes it clear she stays in shape.

Suri is living life like an average teen

Growing up, Suri Cruise was one of the most photographed children of celebrities, which is why her mother Katie Holmes has made a concerted effort to give her a normal upbringing, as shielded from the Hollywood spotlight as possible. "What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her," Holmes told Glamour.

Of course, not many "normal" teenagers can say they've had their voice featured in their mother's films, but that's as much as Suri's been involved in Hollywood so far. "Other than that, she's a 16-year-old kid doing high school," Holmes told Yahoo Entertainment. Holmes has done a good job, when you consider the lavish lives  and high-profile exposure of other celebrity children. We've seen Blue Ivy sing on stage with her mother Beyonce, we've watched the Kardashian children grow up on TV, and we've double-tapped countless pictures of Stormi Webster on her mom Kylie Jenner's Instagram page. Meanwhile, Suri is content taking her dogs for walks and watching "Dirty Dancing" with her mom like any normal teen. 

"My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now," the Dawson's Creek actress told Town & Country (via Page Six ). "It's very important that I'm present and she has a stable, innocent childhood."

Suri Cruise wears pastels while out in New York City

Suri Cruise has long been fond of pastel colors. Ever since she was a young girl, Suri has been protographed wearing colors like light pink and baby blue, a fashion trend that she retains to this day. While her style has evolved as she’s grown up, there are still some colors and patterns that she finds herself returning to.

Suri Cruise starred as the lead of her high school play: Report

Katie holmes and tom cruise’s wedding was ‘natural’ and like they were ‘in love’.

Photos show Cruise walking around New York as she carries a suitcase, presumably returning or preparing for some trip. The 17 year old was alone and comfortable moving around in the city, and wore an outfit made up of various colors. She wore a dark green shirt with a camo jacket on top, some jeans and black shoes. To protect herself from the cold, she wore a light blue puffer jacket that appears to be reversible, with the inner shade being a darker blue color. Lastly, she was carrying a pink carry on bag.

Cruise was talking on the phone or listening to music, wearing her wired headphones and carrying her iPhone in her hand. She wore her hair loose and wore little makeup, showcasing the stunning resemblance she bears to her mother.

Suri and Katie’s similar fashion sense

Cruise can often be spotted exploring various neighborhoods in New York. While she’s mostly alone in these outings, she’s been photographed alongside friends and her mom, Katie Holmes . In early January, Cruise was photographed wearing a green puffer jacket and boasting a streetstyle that has made her mom into a fashion icon.

Cruise paired the jacket with some baggy jeans, black canvas shoes and added a pop of color with a scarf made out of different fabrics.

Suri’s Self-Possessed Style

By Alyssa Bereznak and Sarah Ball

Suri doesn’t care that her friend wore the exact same prairie-print oxford to their playdate, confident as she is that she will handily triumph later in People.com’s “Who Wore It Best?” poll.

Suri cocoons in a furry brown coat, allowing for just a patch of her breezy, transparent skirt to peek out above her shiny sandals. When *Extra’*s Renee Bargh asked Katie Holmes who had a bigger shoe collection, Holmes said, “I hope that she always has more shoes. That’s the right thing.”

Another walk on the pier, another mermaid-esque print dress. Plus, she drinks SmartWater!

When asked who was a more dedicated fashionista—Katie or Suri—Holmes insisted it was “a mutual love.”

By Rosemary Counter

By Julie Miller

More than anyone, Suri understands that style is about movement. How better to exhibit flowing lines than by getting one’s prance on at the Museum of Modern Art?

Is this a gypsy selling her wares in downtown Pittsburgh, or a celebrity child? You tell us.

Please take note that Suri’s friends are equally fashionable and offbeat.

Offering a spin on the traditional toddler silhouette, Suri layers pink and purple prints—the markers of a joyous, freewheeling childhood—with chunky flower-topped wedges. “She wears what she wants,” Holmes told Access Hollywood in October 2009. “She loves sparkly things. She loves bright colors. She has an idea of what she wants to wear every day. So do I, so we go with it.”

Though Suri’s red rain boots are not of the ladybug variety that Peter Brant gushed over (and that Harry Brant owns in gray) , they look equally stylish when paired with a bright-pink umbrella.

Asked whether she has any items of clothing that Suri will inherit, Holmes told Extra, “Oh, yes. Oftentimes, I buy clothes with her in mind, thinking maybe I’ll wear this once or twice, but this is going to look so great on her when she’s, like, 25.”

A rare instance of crisp, dapper Suri! We miss her maximalist approach here.

Those braids are surely left over from a yogi séance that took place the previous evening. The elephant came, too.

Oh, to be a French(-looking) youngster living la vie bohème. Here’s to the glory days disobeying crosswalk signs and drinking Pellegrino.

How Suri Cruise's lifestyle with mom Katie Holmes has drastically changed ahead of adulthood

The only child of katie holmes and tom cruise will be turning 18 on april 18.

Suri Cruise is counting down the days until adulthood, as the teenager turns 18 on April 18. Katie Holmes ' mini-me will no doubt have a day to remember with her mom and friends in New York City, where she has grown up since childhood. 

However, the 17-year-old's life has changed quite a lot over the years, as her early years were very different to the laidback lifestyle she is experiencing today. 

Born in Santa Monica, California, Suri grew up in Hollywood in an impressive $40M Beverly Hills mansion with her dad Tom Cruise and mom Katie, complete with a swimming pool, children's playground and guest houses. 

They lived there until Katie and Tom's separation in 2012. The then-couple also nested in a beautiful $59M house in Colorado, which had everything from a private trail system, ice hockey rink and a library.

What's more, Suri was also in the spotlight with her parents regularly, with her mom even coming to her defense back in 2009 when the then three-year-old was pictured on a number of occasions wearing heels. 

At the time, Katie told Access Hollywood: "Like every little girl, she loves my high heels. They are actually ballroom dancing shoes for kids. I found them for her and she loves them."

Since Katie and Tom's split, which has since resulted in the Mission Impossible actor becoming estranged from his daughter, Suri has grown up for the majority of her childhood in New York City. 

The cosmopolitan city has everything available to eat, buy and do, and Suri will have enjoyed having an exciting but down-to-earth lifestyle as a result. 

Celebrities love NYC because they can enjoy a sense of anonymity, and Katie has certainly ensured that's been the case for her daughter. The proud mom doesn't share pictures of Suri on social media anymore, but has occasionally opened up about how proud she is of her only child. It's clear that Suri has developed her parents' talents for performing, and showcased her incredible singing voice back in 2022. 

Suri was heard singing the opening credits of Katie's film, Alone Together, when she was just 15. She sang a pitch-perfect rendition of Blue Moon, and her mom was more than proud. 

Chatting to Yahoo! Entertainment about her daughter's role in the movie, she said: "She's very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it and I let her do her thing. "That's the way I direct in general: It's like, 'This is what I think we all want - go do your thing'." 

The mom-of-one was asked why she chose Suri for the job and she said: "I always want the highest level of talent, so I asked her." Suri is incredibly creative and these skills have been encouraged by her mom. Katie previously revealed that the pair enjoyed many crafty hobbies during the height of the pandemic during lockdown. "I painted, we had a sewing machine, so we were making quilts, we were cooking; we were on a perpetual vacation," Katie told the sophomore issue of Amazing magazine. 

"We were also on a lake and there was a hammock, so I would wake up, sew, have coffee, take a nap on the hammock [laughs]… Oh and, by the way, I have to throw this in; we were staying by a lake, so we probably watched Dirty Dancing ten times. Let me tell you, I danced to it in the living room, and it still holds up. It was fun."
