Suri Cruise: We've seen the photos and now what?

Update: Oh No They Didn’t has the entire spread.

We’ve seen the Vanity Fair photos of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes‘ baby Suri and everyone’s talking!  Could this be the most popular watercooler conversation ever?

Here are the overall impressions we’ve noted from the comments on our site and others:
-Suri looks like Tom.
-Suri looks like Katie.
-Suri is at the very least cute, with some people saying that she is extremely beautiful while others are saying she’s cute. 
-Suri has A LOT of hair, with some people either joking or believing that she is wearing a wig.  (We think it’s her own hair.  Some babies have a LOT of hair and some people have very little.  Also, some people are saying that proof she’s wearing a wig is that you can see blond hair in the back.  We believe the sun is reflecting off her hair.)
-Suri looks Asian due to her black hair and her almond shaped eyes.  (We find this really funny because contrary to mainstream belief, non-Asian people have almond shaped eyes and black hair too! )
-Suri looks older than 3 1/2 months old (her age at the time of the photoshoot)

What do you think?

(By the way, we will be returning to our regularly scheduled non-Suri content after I go out and get my bagel and copy of Vanity Fair.)

I think we should all move on. Im tired of Suri talk, im more curious to what Peter Sargards baby will look like. maggies eyes? his hair? Once the mag hits stands its going to be horrible. I sell magazines where I work and people were freaking out over SHiloh’s cover, ripping it from peoples hands, nearly having to call the police. I just shudder to think how Sept 12th will be at work. The Novelty of Suri will fade soon enough.

She is adorable!!!!! And i think she looks alot like tom but has some kate in her to. My sister had thatmuch hair when she was that age and when she was 2 everyone thought she had wig on also.

Lauren on September 6th, 2006

I think she looks like Chris Klein.

Michelle on September 6th, 2006

Wow, what a gorgeous baby, definately a combination of the two. She does have amazing eyes and loads of hair, I had more hair than that as a baby and cant beleive that people think that it is a wig!

She is gorgeous.

Nineveh on September 6th, 2006

It seems that those rumours about Tom demanding a lot of retouching for these photos is true.
Gawker has this untouched picture, that will not be in the magazine:

She looks rather strange there. Weird squint. Not as much Asian though.

chandra on September 6th, 2006

I think it is funny that people say she is wearing a wig, or comment that she has almond eyes. My daughter was born in October 2005. She had so much hair that the doctor even commented that he has never delivered a baby in his 20 years with that much hair. I have to put hair gel on her to keep it out of her eyes. She also looked asian when she was born. Here eyes had an almond shape, and because her hair was to dark I got the same comments.

Tom / Katie fan on September 6th, 2006

She’s beautiful. She’s healthy. They’re happy. Leave it at that.

Vivian on September 6th, 2006

She looks like Tom, and only looks Asian in that Gawker photo because the poor thing has a fan blowing in her face.
She’s a gorgeous baby, and I’m sure they’re both very proud parents. Let’s hope all the hype surrounding the whole thing calms down now!

Susie on September 6th, 2006

It reminds me so much of the SNL sketch for baby wigs!

stephanie on September 6th, 2006

i wonder if the people saying that she looks as old as one or two years ever actually see a real baby, not a cabbage patch doll. adam sandler’s baby has more hair than suri at a few weeks old.

Mel on September 6th, 2006

My hubby had that much hair when he was born – he looked like a monkey with a bad comb-over. Lots of babies do – eventually that sort of “falls out”. That may be what the lighter hair in front shows – her more “adult” hair coming in. Sure it looks a little like a wig but they probably combed it for the pictures, and let’s face it – you don’t normally need to comb the hair of a 3 mo. old so it looks strange to a lot of people.

I think she’s cute and looks like Tom Cruise (even though I don’t really like him personally)

stephanie on September 6th, 2006

I just want to commend you guys for keeping it positive and not crossing over to paranoid conspiracy theorist area. Other websites have gone so far beyond jokes, it’s vile. Bravo

I wonder if anyone who argues that she looks a year or older ever actually see a real baby and not a cabbage patch doll.

Sarilas on September 6th, 2006

My daughters both had lots of hair at birth; my second daughter had SO much dark hair that people thought she was closer to being one than being just 4 months old. I actually stopped taking her out to grocery shop, etc. because people would stop us constantly to comment on her. No wonder they stayed home and took time to themselves (and I’m no celebrity, but it is ANNOYING and takes twice as long just to buy milk.) The hair makes a big difference.

And let’s face it- at 3 1/2 months old those facial features aren’t set in stone. Give her a few months and she’ll really start to favor both her parents.

She’s beautiful, no two ways about it.

Rachel K on September 6th, 2006

Well, with the hair thing… I thought that the picture with her wrapped up in his jacket looked like she was wearing a wig (I said I’d have to wait and see), but in the extra pic that was on another site of her with Katie, it looks natural… but it looks like she has less hair. I think that may have something to do with the retouching of the photo, etc…

I really believe that photos of babies should not be retouched. Babies as a general rule are not stunning at that age so just be honest this is how she looks. I’ve seen a lot of not so beautiful celebrity babies grow up to be gorgeous celebrity kids…

She looks very cute in the photos, but I wonder how different she really looks in reality.

corriev on September 6th, 2006

She is one beautiful baby! All babies are beautiful, but she has a very grown up quality to her. My oldest daughter was the same way. Lots of dark hair, big blue eyes, pale skin, and she never really looked very babyish.

I am glad to see pics of her, she is a real beauty.

Helena on September 6th, 2006

She seens to me like she have Down syndrome. But still cute.

Posh_Fan on September 6th, 2006

She sure is a beautiful baby but does look so asian. I know a little girl who was born in Feb. and she had so much hair it was crazy. My little boy did too.

AB on September 6th, 2006

She reminds me of Kevin Spacey.

I have a dayhome and I think that she looks perfectly normal in size for her age in the pictures. Shes a sweet little thing.

Natalie S. on September 6th, 2006

All the rumors will be put to rest, Suri does exhist and she’s a beautiful girl. I know i’m eating my words with my own speculation regarding Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes. I must admit, it was very smart on their part to hold out with the photo of Suri, after all she is their daughter. Surprisingly she does look like both parents, I heard that Suri looked more like Katie but after seeing the pictures, you can tell Tom is her daddy. I was also glad to hear that Tom apologized to Brooke Shields. I’m still in awe over how Suri looks, I guess with all the rumors and ect. I wasn’t expecting her to look so beautiful. She’s one the most gorgeous “celebrity baby” I have seen.

Jemma on September 6th, 2006

The asian thing makes me laugh as when I was born I had lots of jet black hair and black almond-shaped eyes. The nurses asked my mum if she “knew any Chinese sailors”! Then my own daughter was born looking exactly the same!

tink1217 on September 6th, 2006

Oh No They Didn’t has alot more of the pics, Suri is actually really beautiful. She does look like a combination of Katie and Tom.

Shannon on September 6th, 2006

I think Suri’s beautiful! And she looks a lot like Tom.

Jenn on September 6th, 2006

Looking a lot like Chris Klein and not so much like Tom….can’t say I’m surprised.

lallaloolly on September 6th, 2006

she looks so much like her mother, she looks like katie spit her right out!

and p.s. the gawker photo was a parady, it was photoshopped by gawker, they posted as much on their site.

Erica on September 6th, 2006

I think she looks cute. I think the comment about her having a lot of hair is ridicules because all of my cousins and myself were born with a lot of hair, just like her. As well, there is a possiblity there may be blonde hair there. I myself was born with varying shades of hair, ranging from blonde to red to lack. It has since changed to a dark brown. I think she’s a normal baby and people need to stop overanalyzing.

dee on September 6th, 2006

Suri is a beautiful baby. She looks like both of them. Congratulations to Katie and Tom.

Ariana on September 6th, 2006

Suri looks wonderful in the magazine pictures. I’m wondering if the untouched picture Nineveh posted is real. If it is, Suri’s face looks very odd to me, like there’s something physically wrong with her face. I don’t know, but the whole Suri thing is weird. Why would anyone touch up baby pictures?? Just a thought guys. I still wish Tom and Katie the best.

soko on September 6th, 2006

i also think the little cutie looks like chris klein.

Paola on September 6th, 2006

Suri’s an ABSOLUTE BEAUTY! The pictures are PRECIOUS!

Alicia on September 6th, 2006

I honestly feel sorry for the poor baby. I thnik if tom would have just brought her out like a normal “celebrity” then there would not have been such a big deal made about her and she might have been able to have some what of a normal life. Don’t get me wrong, she is cute and I am not at all trying to put down either of the parents, I just think they went about it all wrong. NOw it will just always be a contest to get the poor kids picture

Mary on September 6th, 2006

it’s not Suri but a sears portriat baby. clearly the same baby

Note from Danielle, CBB Publisher:
You know, that Dateline Hollywood article is a joke. I don’t put much weight in a site that also has articles entitled, “E! TO COUNT DOWN 101 SEXIEST CELEBRITY VAGINAS.”

nico on September 6th, 2006

R U ALL BLIND the kid is not beautiful. She is completely weird looking. Slate me all u want i’m just bein honest.

justme on September 6th, 2006

Wow, satire websites are really reliable sources. Nice research! (sarcasm intended)

Mary on September 6th, 2006

you know I didn’t even notice that before Someone posted the link at celeb kids!

Ambrosia on September 6th, 2006

I think Tom and Katie are so hungry for publicity that they will do anything they can to be back in the spotlight. The article, the pictures, and their “candid” comments are predictable. I am sick of Tom and I think Katie is an idiot.

ericka on September 6th, 2006

Mary, are you kidding me? I’m amazed at some people and what they believe. That artical is FAKE, that “sears photo” is fake. Suri’s head was photoshopped onto the sears baby’s body.

wow… I have no idea why I’m so shocked at peoples stupidity.

Message to Erika: try to get over the fact that others can have opinions that do not match your own.

Ilo on September 7th, 2006

I think that she looks cute and people need to back off on making comments about her hair and other stupid things. Listen Suri is just a baby and has nothing to do with her fathers behavior… so its not fair when comments and rumors like these are made. They are hurtful… Tom and katie have a baby together…. get over it!!!!!

Colin Farrel's Nose on September 7th, 2006

It’s a wig.

JEH on September 7th, 2006

They look so totally happy and the baby is precious. Now hopefully they will be left alone. Gorgeous baby girl for sure.

Lola on September 7th, 2006

Wow, if ever a baby was a carbon copy of her father, this would be it! I am not a fan of Tom Cruise (either as an actor or in any other way), but this girl is as cute as can be! Before we saw the photos, I was hoping, for Suri’s sake, that she was going to look like her beautiful mummy, as opposed to her father, who I don’t see as attractive in the slightest, but somehow, he has produced a real cutie! Of course, the photos were retouched, I think that’s pretty much a given with this kind of shoot, but from what we’ve seen, Suri looks normal, and very beautiful.

I think the press needs to start respecting her right to a real childhood (although, I don’t know what kind of a childhood she will have under the cult rules), and take a step back from her parents to allow this. Like I said, I don’t like Tom Cruise, but his baby girl should be allowed to grow up normally.

lala on September 7th, 2006

she’s cute. aint nothing special

gargoylegurl on September 7th, 2006

I think Suri is adorable, and to me, she looks like both of them.

I’m so happy to see the photos of this little girl…if for nothing else, to put all the ridiculous rumors to rest.

I’m glad she looks so much like both of them, because I was worried that people were going to say she wasn’t really theirs, and garbage like that. Clearly she IS their baby and a lot people must be feeling pretty dumb about right now! lol

ericka on September 8th, 2006

Carol, which one are you refering too as you spelt both wrong?

If you are refering to my comment…I could give a rats ass if she has a differing opinion. I’m flabbergasted at the fact that people believe such garbage. I guess I give to much credit to people.

kristen on September 8th, 2006

I think she looks like both and I think she is absolutely gorgeous. I’d love a copy of the magazine

MuffThumb on September 9th, 2006

ok, she looks EXACTLY like both of them! maybe a little more like tom, but not by much!

oh my gosh, she’s gorgeus! i knew she would be beautiful, but i had no idea!!!!!!!!!!

faci de asis on September 9th, 2006

She is really adorable. She is indeed will be a very beautiful toddler/girl. Congrats to katie and tom.

Kim on September 9th, 2006

I definitely think she looks like both parents. And the hair, I had that much hair as a baby, so I definitely don’t think its a wig. Also in the interviews he did do after her birth he made the comments about all her hair. Even saying to Ellen that she had lots and lots of hair.
