How Suri Cruise, five, already has a $150,000 shoe collection

Fancy footwear: Suri Cruise, pictured in $110 Ugg boots (left) in March and purple satin heels (right) later that day, has a shoe collection believed to be worth over $150,000


She has always displayed a strong sartorial instinct, and has been wearing heels since the age of three. Now, it appears that in just a few short years Suri Cruise has acquired quite the shoe collection.

The five-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes has $150,000 worth of footwear in her closet, according to news reports published today.

And you'd be unlikely to spot any Stride-Rite among the young fashionista's array, as sources claim she already has a taste for high-end labels such as Christian Louboutin and Marc Jacobs.


Sartorial instincts: Suri is regularly seen in heels, despite her tender age, and her mother is even believed to have commissioned bespoke pairs for the five-year-old from her favourite designer labels


They say Ms Holmes, 32, has even been getting her favourite designers to custom-make shoes for Suri, to accommodate her little one's penchant for heels.

A source told Star magazine: 'Suri has so many designer shoes.

'She’s a massive fan of Marc Jacobs and she’s had several shoes custom-made, so if they didn’t come with a heel, Katie had them redesigned for Suri. She commissioned a pair of Louboutins for her a while back!'

They added that Suri is insistent in her fashion choices, turning to tears if she doesn't get her way


Flat out: Despite her precocious penchant for heels, Suri also has an impressive array of ballerina flats, including designs by Marc Jacobs (left), and is almost never seen in the same pair twice


But $150,000 on shoes is small fry compared with the rest of the youngster's wardrobe, which is believed to have a value of $3.2million.

She has been spotted out in a $2,140 Dolce & Gabbana trench coat, and last year she was spotted with an $800 miniature version of her mother's Ferragamo bag.

Last month Suri even came 21st in a list of Glamour magazine readers' style icons, beating Lady Gaga and Sarah Jessica Parker in ranking.

Katie Holmes enjoyed a day of fun in the sun with her daughter Suri in Miami, Florida, today.

The Kennedys star displayed a slim physique in a feminine turquoise cut-away one piece swimsuit as she took a dip with the five-year-old.

Katie, 32, paired the pretty bathing suit with a giant white sun hat and oversized black sunglasses to protect her face from the sun's harmful rays.

She spent time splashing in the hotel pool with Suri, who appears to be an adept swimmer.

At one point fashion-forward Suri borrowed her mother's large sun hat and tried it on for size.

Later in the day the mother and daughter duo went to buy ice cream at a Haagen Dazs store.

Katie looked chic in white jeans and a brown blouse. She had her hair loose around her shoulders and carried a small brown leather bag.

She held Suri's hand as they made their way to get the sweet treat to cool down from the Florida heat.

Is this the most precocious five-year-old in the world? The strange and troubling world of Suri Cruise

By Alison Boshoff


Cruise shoes: Suri in high heels and co-ordinated outfit while out shopping with Katie's mother Kathy at shops in New York


A sunny day in Beverly Hills and in a beautifully manicured garden a little girl is celebrating her fifth birthday. She sits at the head of the table, dressed in her favourite turquoise sunglasses and a pretty pink dress.

Nothing out of the ordinary, then. Except that while she unwraps a doll, the guests have to shout over the whirring of helicopters above.

Because this is no ordinary five-year-old — this is Suri Cruise, and the helicopters contain paparazzi desperate to get a shot of the little girl who is surely becoming the most photographed child in the world.


Welcome to Planet Suri, where the other inhabitants are, of course, her A-list parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

And the truth is that on this planet Suri is not just a little princess being doted on by her parents. In accordance with the doctrine of the Church of Scientology — of which her parents are devoted followers — she is apparently treated as an adult, free to make decisions on her clothes, make-up and diet.

There’s no doubt that Suri is adorable, with a long curtain of conker-brown hair and the most bewitching slanted green eyes.

But here the comparisons with most other children of her age end. Her taste in clothes runs to £1,300 Dolce & Gabbana trench coats and £500 miniature Marc Jacobs heels. She’s been credited — and blamed — for sparking a multi-million-pound mania for putting pampered kids in designer labels. Thanks to a serious shopping habit that has been indulged ever since she was a toddler, her wardrobe is said to be worth £2 million.

Little Suri has been wearing make-up for two years and was spotted earlier this year making selections at beauty chain Sephora in New York.

Luxe look: Toting a designer bag on the way to a restaurant, and right, with a flower in her hair and wearing a heart-print dress to see a musical


She favours pink lipstick for daytime and a dramatic slash of red at night. She also has her own designer bags to carry her books and cuddly toys — she has a smaller version of her mother’s Ferragamo Sofia bag, for instance, and often carries her very own £11,000 Hermes handbag.

Little Miss Cruise even has such decisive views about her outfits that she has never been seen in trousers. And why shouldn’t she?

Her father Tom, who was 43 when Suri was born, calls her his ‘fountain of youth’ and is clearly happy to spoil her rotten. ‘She likes to dress herself and wears whatever she wants,’ says Tom. ‘I’m not gonna tell her different.’

Suri also still uses a dummy, even though the majority of children are encouraged to stop the habit around the age of two, due to implications for teeth.

A source said: ‘Scientology encourages you to make your own decisions. She’ll know herself when it’s time to throw the pacifier away, plain and simple.’

There is no sign at all of anything so prosaic as schooling taking place or of her having friends her own age. Instead you see her out until midnight in New York, where Tom Cruise has an apartment, with Katie Holmes.

Recent pictures show the two of them looking fatigued while exiting Broadway shows or fancy restaurants such as Il Cantinori and Serendipity 3, as if they were a couple of women in their 30s onthe town. On one unfortunate occasion earlier this month, Suri picked up a packet of Penis Gummies — jelly sweets in the shape of genitalia — and was photographed waving them blithely around.

Katie later sheepishly explained that the child had picked them out before she was really aware of what the item was.

Suri’s social schedule is such that if she has a designated bedtime, it’s difficult to work out what it might be. As one parent commented on an internet message board: ‘Poor Suri. Even animals at the zoo get to sleep at night.’

But it seems there is no rest for this girl, whose parents show her off with relentless zeal.

When Katie Holmes was on the David Letterman Show recently, Suri was brought to the taping and accompanied her parents for dinner afterwards — which went on until the early hours.

You wouldn’t catch Victoria Beckham, or even Angelina Jolie, allowing their children out so late — even though both women are noted for their love of publicity.

Suri’s first photo shoot came when she was five months old and provided the cover for the biggest-selling edition of Vanity Fair in the magazine’s history. She was then photographed extensively at her parents’ wedding in official pictures of the event that the pair sold across the globe.

More recently, you will have seen her sporting sparkly silver heels in Vancouver, in Uggs with a Dolce bag flung over her tiny arm in Barneys department store, attending the Superbowl with her father in Miami and playing with an iPad while waiting for her meal to arrive in restaurants.

Suri is even said to offer advice when it comes to her mother’s fashion line Holmes and Yang, with Katie consulting on shoe design, such is her belief in the girl’s talents.

Last year, Holmes said: ‘Suri picks out all of her own clothes.’ Cruise is as gushing. In a recent interview, he said: ‘I say to Suri, “I really want you to eat this protein if you’re going to have that sugar.” She looks at me and she goes: “Dad, I don’t think you should try to force me to do something I don’t want to do.”’

Proud parents: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, both devout followers of the Church of Scientology which states children should be treated as adults


That’s a lot of clout for a little madam, who apparently calls her parents Tom and Kate and has decided that she is to follow them into the entertainment business.

Let’s hope that she has more luck than her mother, whose career has yet to recover after marrying Tom Cruise and whose latest foray, playing Jackie Onassis in The Kennedys mini-series, was panned by critics.

Reports in the U.S. have long suggested that she feels trapped in a marriage to a controlling man. This suggestion is denied — and it is possible that her wan appearance is due to the demands of looking after Suri.

Take the birthday party. According to some reports it cost £13,000. (Incidentally, it’s been reported in Australia that her gift from Daddy was £3 million.)

‘She helps to plan her party,’ Holmes said on U.S. radio. ‘Because I want her to be happy, we have meetings.’ Meetings? With a five-year-old? Perhaps this is why magazines in the U.S. are claiming that Katie Holmes’ Midwestern parents Martin and Kathleen are concerned about the effects that Cruise’s Scientology is having on their family.

Scientology expert Rick Ross says that none of this should be a surprise: ‘Scientologists treat kids as if they are individuals capable of making their own decisions.’

This is because, according to the religion’s founder, L. Ron Hubbard, the human body is a vessel for alien spirits. Children, therefore, are vessels for these aliens and so there is no reason to treat them any differently from adults.

In reality, this appears to mean Suri is allowed to rule the family. ‘She will throw temper tantrums when she’s out with Katie and Tom,’ says a source. One claims that after a trip to a restaurant last month, no amount of pleading to get in her car seat by Holmes could persuade Suri — and so she just didn’t.

Child psychologist Vicki Panaccione warns against allowing a five-year-old to behave in this way: ‘Their reasoning abilities, nervous systems, decision-making processes and moral judgment are just not up to adult development.’

So what is family life like for the rest of the Cruise family? For all three of his children — adopted Isabella, 18, and Connor, 16, and biological-child Suri — the answer has been that it’s a world with every possible luxury but a place very few strangers enter.

Isabella and Connor have been home-schooled since they were small. The role of teacher has been taken by Tom Cruise’s sister Cass Mapother, a stern brunette with three sons.

The whole set-up is one of an extended, devout and enclosed family. The family live in a home that cost in the region of £18 million in 1997, which boasts 13,000 square feet of space.

All the children have been raised as Scientologists. It is expected that Suri will start being ‘audited’ to check her for negative influences from the age of six onwards.

And when they are in New York, Suri has a nanny and bodyguard and is taken around in an SUV or a helicopter.

Has there ever been such an indulged girl? You can only wonder what she will be like when she’s blowing out the candles on her 18th birthday cake.

Piñatas, a pool party and plenty of cake! Katie Holmes reveals plans for Suri's lavish 5th birthday

By Daily Mail Reporter


What Suri wants, Suri gets: Katie Holmes has revealed her daughter has grand plans for her 5th birthday party later this month


Suri Cruise may be the most indulged child in Hollywood, so it's no surprise that her mother Katie Holmes is planning a rather lavish affair for her upcoming 5th birthday.

The former Dawson's Creek star also said she planned to 'girl it up' for the April 18 celebration.

Speaking on a US radio show today, Katie, 32, said: 'Suri's turns five in about two weeks.

'She wants a piñata and her girlfriends to come over, and some swimming.


'We're going to make a cake together,' she adds. 'We're going to have a little tea party. I kind of like to girl it up.'

Katie also said that husband Tom Cruise 'inspired' her and that he was an amazing singer and dancer.

Cruise is currently preparing for a role in the 80s-themed musical Rock of Ages and will star alongside Dancing With The Stars champ Julianne Hough.

Katie said: 'It's a very dynamic role and he's so excited to do it and work with Julianne. He's thrilled.'

When asked if Cruise was a good singer and dancer, Katie replied: 'He's fantastic.

'He knows how to prepare for things and he really puts the work in and strives for the best. It's inspiring.'

Katie also spoke about playing Jackie O in the new mini series The Kennedys which aired in the U.S. last night to mixed reviews.

Rather surprisingly, radio host Ryan Seacrest did not ask her about the controversy surrounding the project, which was axed by the History Channel and condemned as a historical distortion by Kennedy associates, admirers and others.

Asked about playing the American icon, she said: 'I didn't know that much about the Kennedys. But I had a great time doing all of my research.

'My respect for and admiration for Jackie just grew with every story that I read and seeing the footage of her and really trying to understand who these people were.

'Because we do have them on a pedestal and they were so important to our country.

'What we're trying to achieve with the mini series is showing the human side of them.
'We set out to make it almost like a Greek tragedy.'

Katie added: 'We created a lot of Jackie's looks and it was a lot of fun.

'I still look to her fashion today and it inspires what I wear.'

Isn't she a bit old for that? Suri Cruise, 4, is grown-up enough to wear heels but still loves her dummy and teddy

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Too old for that? Suri Cruise kept a tight grip on her cuddly teddy and dummy as mother Katie Holmes took her out for the day in Vancouver, Canada


She caused controversy last year by wearing high heels and make-up at the tender age of four.

But yesterday Suri Cruise proved that while she might be old enough for grown-up shoes and lipstick, there are some aspects of her childhood she just can't kick.

As she was taken out for cupcakes by mother Katie Holmes in Vancouver, Canada, at the weekend, Suri kept her dummy in her mouth and maintained a tight grip on her cuddly teddy.


Controversial: Suri caused a storm when she stepped out in high heels last year


While opinions on when a child is too old for a dummy differ between various doctors and child experts, many agree that six months is the ideal age to stop, as letting a child use a dummy after that age may end up affecting their bite in the future.

Katie and Suri are currently in Vancouver while husband Tom Cruise shoots the latest installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise.

And in an attempt to keep her daughter entertained during their time in the city, Katie decided to take her on a shopping trip to a toy store, before moving on for cupcakes later in the afternoon.

While Katie dressed down in flared jeans and a black jacket, Suri wore one of her favourite dresses - in navy polka dots with heart pockets.

The pair filled a bag with goodies at the Kaboodles Toy Store at the Granville Island Kids Market before heading off hand-in-hand to pick up some cupcakes.

Suri picked out her and one for her father, while Katie, 32, chose her own.

Little Suri, who is proving quite the fashionable youngster, swapped coats between shops, switching a pink version for a classic woollen white.

Katie has previously spoken about Suri's passion for fashion, admitting her daughter is developing a love of shopping.

She said: 'The other day we came out of a store, and she said, ‘I want to go there,’ pointing at another store quite a distance away. In that store was the dress that she wanted.

'I said, "Wow, Suri. You’re something. You picked that out from a football field away." '
