Off to work!
Suri Cruise, 3 ½, slung a purse over her shoulder and made her way to visit dad on the set of Knight and Day with Katie Holmes on Monday in Seville, Spain.
The crew was filming at the Santa Justa rail station for the day, but Tom Cruise took time between takes to get down on Suri’s level to chat with her (see extended post).
A photo of Tom and Suri is below.

cute summer dress
- Kirsty on
I get tired of the negative comments too, but c’mon… turtlenecks, coats, scarves, and Suri is in a sundress once again.
- Staci on
Look at Katie all bundled up and Suri just has a sun dress on. I think these two are such a cute pair. I enjoy their pictures.
- Jessica on
It must be that little Suri absolutely refuses to wear her coat at times. That’s all I can figure. Certain things just set kids off and maybe wearing a coat causes a meltdown that just isn’t worth the emotional distress for all involved.
- Lily on
yes its really weird that they are all bundled up except little Suri!..maybe she has some kind of a disorder that keeps her warm? anywho Suri is very beautiful, there something very special about her!.
- Blackrose on
Word of advice to all of the no-jacket posters who are about to post- obviously they don’t listen to your opinion! It’s happened enough times that we know this, and it doesn’t help anything to bash!
- Erika on
What! This is like the third picture I’ve seen with this little girl in sleeveless clothes and either Tom, Kate, or the surrounding people wearing winter gear. I’m with everyone else here I’m the last to post something negative but what is going on here. I guess Suri is o.k. since we haven’t heard about any severe cold, flu, or illness, but I’ve just never seen such an extreme difference in how the parents dress and their young child. It’s usually the parents overdressing the child and not the other way around.
- mommashane on
I don’t see why “she doesn’t feel like wearing her coat” is a good excuse for her NOT wearing a coat. A parents’ job is to do what’s best for their child… whether or not the child “wants” to.
- Anlee on
What a shocker. No coat. I get that everyone always says this but COME ON this is ridiculous. Her parents need to grow up and actually PARENT.
- KayLee on
This child is exposed daily to the paps, HOW SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
- trish on
I get tired of them as well, but come on. I understand Suri wanting to choose her outfits, but who are the parents? My daughter likes to wear her tutu everywhere, and that’s fine as long as she puts a coat and hat on (we are in PA and it’s COOOOLD). I know it’s warmer in Spain than here, but at least put a sweater on your child if you’re wearing a coat and scarf!
I do like that she is nearly smiling in the pic with Tom though. She always looks like a lonely little girl and it’s nice to see her smiling.
- Brianne on
Hey, Erika. Cheer up. I don’t think there is any kind of bashing going on. Can we not share an observation? I am having a hard time in seeing the negative in these comments. Please give us the dos and dont’s of comment as we obviously missed that.
- Jessica on
Suri should be in a coat (not to mention flat shoes…..). Speaking as a mother of 2 myself, I would never allow my children to go out in the cold dressed in so little.
And if either of them refused to wear a coat then I’d refuse to take them out, simple.
- Kat on
Suri is special… her outfit and bag are of a little girl but the way she handles it looks grown up.
- Alice on
I don’t post on the Suri sites because I absolutely cannot stand Tom Cruise.
But as soon as I saw this picture I knew there would be posts about the incongruity of her clothes with the elements, her parents, the outing, etc…
All I can say is that Suri is probably a sweet little girl who lives in a world far different than the majority of us.
- AE on
Guess what?! To all the people who on the last post about Suri, commented on what a miserable child she is, and she never smiles-look at the second picture-that looks like a smile to me!
- JessicaC on
Suri is just a gorgeous little girl! I seriously can’t get over how pretty she is! Love her outfit too.
- Jessicad on
Aren’t there some kids who are naturally warm blooded.If the child was cold her internal thermostat(yes I’m grasping for straws) would let her know.Aren’t there any doctors out there that can back me up.
- Yoco on
Can’t believe suri is dressed like it’s summer. Never mind she refuses to wear a coat, as a responsible grown up you won’t take out a kid in a dress like this in winter. She’s only 3 years old and i think she should not be allowed to decide if she wants to wear winterclothes or not.
- Blah Blah on
Maybe Suri isn’t 3 1/2; maybe she is older.
- Susan on
It’s hard to believe that anyone commenting on this post would condone this behavior or just think it’s so cute that she’s wearing a summer dress. I don’t care how rich and famous her parents are, but this is a 3 year old child! She needs to wear a coat and proper shoes it’s practically winter and even her parents look cold. Why shouldn’t they force her to wear a jacket???? The appeasing is doing more harm then good in the long run. Her parents have a responsibility to her to make sure she is constantly warm and safe. These pictures do not show it and no I don’t see them everyday, not like I’d want to, but what they do show is irresponsibility.
- Sandra on
Heels again? Ugh. Not appropriately dressed for the weather again? Ugh. Ugh all around with this family. Not saying they are bad parents, but seriously, Suri runs the show.
- Forever Moore on
I agree with all the posters who say that Tom and Katie are lazy parents for not having Suri wear appropriate clothing, but I also agree with all the poster who say that it’s time to stop complaining about it. They have been weird and lazy since the beginning. That’s who they are. They aren’t going to change. None of us would do what they do, but whining about them is silly at this point. Suri does what she wants and Tom and Katie will be the ones who deal with the consequences of that lazy parenting, not us. So maybe as a New Year’s resolution, we’ll agree to stop obsessing over this child’s ways and focus on another kid to worry about. Any suggestions? Off the top of my head, no other kid comes to mind who sparks debate like Suri.
- Basil on
SERIOUSLY Why is it that MOM has a coat and and Scarf and DAD has a turtle neck and coat on BUT BABY has a no sleeve dress on!!!! AND if she is one of those kids who doesn’t like to wear a coat then you CANT LEAVE the house!!!
- Lorraine on
Ugh. Typical.
- Shannon on
I will add – because I actually agree with the posts about her being dressed inappropriately for the weather – that the best solution would be for readers to donate coats and clothes to the poor. It is one thing to have the means to selectively shun warm clothing – it is another thing to not have the choice.
- AE on
It’s 64 degrees in Seville Spain. I don’t think it’s that cold. I live here in Michigan and when it’s 60 degrees my kids wear shorts and enjoy the warm weather! Maybe it’s like that too in Seville.
- Marie on
Why is the world is this child always dressed in clothes for the opposite season? She is a gorgeous kid, but seriously. Enough. Either put a coat on her, or dont take her out. Its obviously cold enough for her mother to be in long sleeves and a SCARF. GOOD LORD.
- Sandra on
I really don’t care if this child doesn’t have a coat on. But how about buying her dresses that are for winter instead of letting her choose to wear sun dresses all the time??
second pic very cute btw.
- JMO on
I never commented on Suri’s inappropriate attire, because I think that it is well-said. But I have a 3 year-old who has recently started throwing temper tantrums about wearing a coat. Rule is…”Mommy makes the Rules, and you are wearing a coat.” I let him choose between his two coats and that is that. You fight the battle everytime, hold your ground, and eventually it stops.
- anne on
I remember seeing Suri in a coat when she was a baby. So, either she developed some sort of a condition which prevents her from wearing a coat/jacket/sweater/tights anything that touches her skin or Holmes/Cruise let Suri do whatever she wants to do. Children having no warm clothes in the cold weather constitutes child neglect in some states.
- Ashley on
1. If its so warm in Seville that Suri is fine in a sundress why are her parents dressed for cold weather? Do her parents have the temperature disorder
2. They are traveling in Seville. Suri’s full wardrobe is not available to her. So why did they pack clothing like this knowing the temps there?
- Susan on
It’s like a joke at this point! Seriously! Well at least this family is predictable. I highly doubt that Suri has a medical condition precluding her from dressing appropriately. Tom did not trot his older children out in wild clothing…wasn’t he a Scientologist then? It is Bizarro World with this family. Heels, the clothes, the indulgence, the paparazzi…how will this child weather her adolescence? Fingers crossed for her. And Marie, I don’t see anyone else in the photos dressing in shorts and enjoying the warm weather.
- crimpe on
does scientology require to treat children like adults? thought i heard that, maybe i’m wrong….
- ang on
About Suri not smiling – none of us would do too if we were surrounded with gangs of people with huge cameras, come on people, no child responds with smiles to a bunch of men acting completely weird…
- angelface on
If a child refuses to wear a coat then they must wear warm clothes. My brother would never wear a coat NEVER my parents stopped buying them but if he wouldn’t wear a coat he has to wear pants and long sleeves AT LEAST if not a sweater/sweatshirt.
- t. on
Ang is right. Scientology does believe that children are merely small adults… something about the human soul being reborn and maintaining the knowledge and wisdom from all its previous lives. I don’t know exactly, but that is probably why Suri is given the choice. They respect her choices as you or I would that of a fellow adult. So are we going to see them forcing a jacket on her anytime soon? Probably not, so c’mon people… let it GO already.
- Molly on
Wow, it’s a girl with high heels and a sundress!
Why don’t you people go worry about things that are worth worrying about. Global warming, war in the middle east, for instance. You are not her parents, they know what is best for her.
And for those who feel sad that Suri is exposed daily to the paps: We are the reason for that. Because we like to see pictures of her, they make the pictures for us.
- Julia on
I definately don’t think it’s right for them to dress her like that, don’t get me wrong. I just think it’s such an overdone argument that has been stated so many times and it’s useless.
That being said, I find Suri adorable, but I do think they are a little odd.
- Erika on
Ok, so I know a lot of you guys dislike the Cruises, but shouldn’t you guys have the decency to at least check the weather before freaking out about Suri not wearing a coat? It’s been in the mid to high 60′s in Seville this week, and some of you are acting like they took her out into a blizzard without a coat. BTW, I’ve seen photos of Katie bundled up in the summer in L.A. so I would never assume that it’s cold just because she’s wearing a coat. And Tom, is filming: his coat could be part of his wardrobe.
- missy on
like i said before, with the last photos of suri on here, who lets there kid dress like that in such cold weather, there putting her out there for show, and loves the attention that they receive from the paps, its so sad that people will do anything to get talked about or noticed. Put a coat on the kid, and move on, we all know shes beautiful, but why not put a jacket or hat on her, no wait everyone needs to look at how pretty suri is in that dress
- maryjane on
Let’s give Tom and Katie the benefit of the doubt. I’d like to think that the majority of parents (especially public figures) are looking out for the best interests of their children. We DO NOT know ALL of this family’s personal business (medical or other).
- alise on
As someone mentioned it is 64 degrees where she is right now. And don’t include Tom in the bundled up argument because he is shooting a movie, thus his outfit is wardrobe, NOT what he chose to wear. It is so ridiculous how many negative comments go with this family’s pictures.
- Caroline on
I don’t really buy into the common argument (here & elsewhere) that Suri chooses her own clothes & thus everything she wears is fine even if not weather/age appropriate. No problem with letting the child help choose what she wears, but obviously she is not purchasing her own clothes. As an adult & her mother, Katie should purchase clothes that are age and situation appropriate and THEN allow Suri to help choose from that what she wears. Suri may like playing with Katie’s high heels & that’s fine, but actually going out & purchasiing *multiple* pairs of heels for a 3-year-old to wear on a daily basis is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. As for the coats, I get that she may not like them. I didn’t like wearing coats as a child & I still don’t as an adult. But how about long sleeves? A sweater, maybe? Granted I don’t know how the weather is right now in Spain, but she tends to be underdressed in all sorts of weather situations over time.
- Kate on
omg people
she’s not your child.
let the family do what THEY want to do, not what YOU want them to do.
no one cares. give it a rest.
- Kristine on
Missy, my kids wear more than that when the high is 63. Just sayin’.
- crimpe on
I never say anything about how Suri dresses for inappropriate weather but come on!! Look at Katie all bundled up and lil Suri dresses like it’s Spring time outsite!! What the heck is wrong with Tom & Katie?! It’s NOT like they can’t afford to put clothes on the child’s back! They give her everything else. This is one child that is so spoiled she will never know what it is lack anything except a sweater.
- Doreen on
Two people; one has flats & bundled up in a jacket…the other person has heels & a dress…which one is the MOM? I don’t care if Suri doesn’t want to wear a jacket, ya wear one. Well said, Lorraine!
- Karen on
guys about all this negativity,i dont think people are picking on the family…i mean its not like they re gonna see all these comments! But, it drives me crazy to see a little girl in summer clothes while mom is all bundled up. I am sick of the argument from tom and katie that Suri is strong willed and picks her own clothes….get a grip. Be parents.
- maggie on
why does she need to wear a coat? If she is cold then I guess she will dress differently next time. Being cold does not make you sick it simply means you’re cold. 3 year olds are very head strong, Katie seems to be a good enough mom and probably has a sweater or would take off hers or simply send someone to buy one. Again this is one moment in time how do we know someone isn’t standing off to the side holding the coat?
- April on
Crimpe, your kids might wear more, but do you honestly think it’s shocking or controversial to see a child wearing a sleveless dress when it’s in the 60′s? I see kids out&about in t-shirts and shorts in this type of weather all the time.
- missy on
The weather was in the mid-sixties in Sevilla yesterday and today. Not Summer weather, but warm enough that she doesn’t ‘need’ a winter coat.
- Tessa on
It wouldn’t matter if she was in a coat, people would complain about her hair in her face, or talk about Katie’s clothes. It’s always something, and it’s beyond old to come to this site and read all the harsh judgements and negativity. It’s not just Suri lately, it’s every other freaking post.
- Jessicad on
Wow, there is a lot of judgment of others going on here. Luckily we don’t all see each others’ parenting choices.
For some perspective, can anyone here say how long the child was outside getting her picture taken? Dressing for a 15 minute visit is different than being outside for hours.
My child runs hot. It would have to be below 40 degrees for me to put my foot down about a coat. Otherwise it isn’t worth it – pick your battles and all that.
Regarding the shoes, same thing. Maybe the little girl is very excited to dress up to visit daddy at work. It isn’t like she is wearing heels all day. Or maybe she is, but they aren’t 4 inch stilettos. I look at the adult women around me who choose to wear those shoes all day and shake my head. When we are adults we shrug and say “it is their choice.” To teach our children to be confident adults we give them choices as they grow. Yes, within reason because as parents we must also watch for our child’ safety. I guess I don’t think that 15 minutes outside in heels without a coat is a safety issue.
- Kim on
I lived in Seville for a year. Although it can get warm during the day when the sun is out, even at this time of year, it’s definitely not sundress weather. I think Suri will only wear a coat if it absolutely matches her outfit. Suri needs to have a coat on. Period!
- mimi on
No, Missy, I find it shocking and controversial that she is always dressed to defy weather. She’s three, not thirteen. 63 was the high, not the low. And to those who suggest Mom might be holding her coat, I agree: I am sure someone is standing by with a stash of clothes. The point is that this child, whose every waking moment appears to be photographed (much to her chagrin), declines to wear said coats, jackets, what have you.
- crimpe on
I think she must have some type of sensory aversion to material on her arms
- katie on
I don’t normally bother to post on Suri pictures cos the conversation always runs the same way but I must admit to being bothered by the fact that her mum is dressed in coat, scarf etc and Suri isn’t. Now as a mum to two girls I know full well that they like to dress up but there is a limit, both my daughters like wearing dresses but I do make sure it’s season appropriate for example today both my girls were wearing dresses but one was denim and the other courderoy and they both had tights, long sleeved t-shirts and cardigans on. I don’t know what the weather is like on the continent but it can’t be very hot. It’s been chilly and rainy here in Cambridge today.
- Elby on
I agree with AE. I just knew there would be posts about what she is wearing on here. CBB, maybe you should stop posting pictures of Suri. It just seems to rile everybody up. Either they hate her hair, her shoes, her lack of clothing, her whatever, etc.
- mom to 3 boys on
I wear heels and don’t believe in Global Warming.
- Jackie on
Okay, honestly people. How many of you honestly at all times make sure your kid has a jacket on if going outside for 5 minutes to take out the trash or to check the mail? I can’t for the life of me get my kids to wear a jacket when its 15 degrees outside until they are outside and have been for at least 5-10 minutes. If not longer! They don’t feel the cold the same way babies and we do. If anything to many layers desensitize a child to the cold to were the get sick easier and are whiny babies about being slightly cold because their body can’t handle it. If anything Suri will be able to handle many types of temperatures and won’t be complaining when it drops to 50 degrees in L.A.
Sheesh people. Get over yourself. She probably wasn’t out for long or if they were there for awhile I’ll bet you she was on Tom’s trailer. And the set is probably inside too. If anything she looks like she is having a wonderful time.
- Summer on
My three year old daughter often refuses to wear a coat – we live just outside NYC. She’s almost never sick, and it really has no detrimental effects on her at all, so I’ve decided not to force her. When she gets cold enough, she eventually accepts the coat, hat, mittens, etc, but we almost never leave the house with it on including when she happens to be wearing short sleeves in the winter (not often but occasionally). My feeling is that I’d rather use the energy and time I have with her to focus on what I consider truly important – manners, treating others with respect, discipline, curiosity, and having fun. Sure we get some dirty looks from people, but in the long run, it’s really no one’s business. Who really knows what’s going in this picture anyway? Seriously, I often walk the 50 feet from the car to a store in situations JUST like this one.
- Julie on
These comments are getting very predictable! lol. Anywhoo, Suri is adorable!
- Brooklyn on
I always wonder what Katie’s sisters (experienced parents/mothers in Ohio and other places) think of Suri’s upbringing…beacuse if it was me I’d be telling my sister that its a bit off no matter how rich you rea never to wear a dress twice, that she needs comfortable warm clothes and that high heels are seriously disturbing on a child. I just hope she is getting honest feedback from someone instead of the millions of psychophants that would surround them.
- miaow on
Pretty girl…but so over the no coat…heels…and such…smh
- L on
it’s 55 degrees (yes, 55… that’s 9 degrees colder than where the holmes-cruise family is) in los angeles today and i’m wearing a long, sleeveless sundress and sandals. guess you should all berate me too… some people are hot all the time, some are cold. when i dropped my son off at school today, half the kids were bundled up like there was a blizzard coming (puffy coats, scarves etc) and my son had jeans, a t-shirt and a lightweight cardigan (unbuttoned) … all the moms said to me (and my son) “aren’t you freezing???” um, nope. newsflash – people are ALL DIFFERENT. my son wears a coat when he’s cold. he doesn’t when he’s warm. a shocking way to live, i know, but i guess we must be one crazy family 
- amandamay on
I suggest that we donate or buy coats for needy children this week. Rather than expend effort on trying to correct this child and her family, let’s use the occasion to clean our closets and provide clothing for those in need. Perhaps we could call it the “Suri Warmth Drive.”
And that is the last I am going to say or suggest about a privileged little girl who doesn’t need to wear a coat.
- AE on
Just today my mom was all over my case because I didnt have my coat on…actually I don’t own a coat…I hate them. I am 34. No, Im not cold, it was 37 today and I was perfectly comfy in my short sleeve shirt, yoga pants and crocs…with no socks on…LOL.
Also, there is a disorder called Sensory Intergration Disorder. My 7 year old had it. She litteraly CAN NOT STAND to wear socks or have her feet covered. It causes other things in kids. The way her OT lady described it is when someone rubs your arm softly to you its fine, to her its like shes being stabbed with needles.
Now, Im not saying at all that this is what might be Suri’s problem…I jsut want others to know that sometimes there are reasons why some kids dont wear coats, or socks or any number of things. If you would like to learn more about it “The Out of Sync Child” is an excellent book!
- Courtney on
I started thinking That this whole , wearing like it is summer all the time , thing is someting to make her body immunity stronger for illnesses. I could not find any better explanation.
- cozy on
I don’t get when people say their child refuses to wear a coat. Who’s the parent? If I tell my daughter she has to wear a coat, she will. End of discussion. BUT if she does refuse to wear a coat, maybe Tom and Katie don’t want to argue with her and just let her go without. She’s not going to die and if she gets really cold, hopefully she will learn that that is not fun and will wear a coat and if not, then it’s her problem to deal with that she’s cold.
- Becky on
I hope Tom doesn’t need to shoot a movie in Toronto or Montreal during the winter. Just sayin’
- Mira on
I don’t get when people say their child won’t do something…like wearing a coat. Who’s the parent? If I tell my daughter she has to wear a coat, she does. End of discussion. She can try to argue if she wants, but she is going to do what I tell her to. BUT at the same time, instead of arguing with Suri about it, maybe they just let her go without and find out on her own that it’s no fun to be cold and hopefully she will realize she needs to wear a coat. Kind of a “told you so” point and don’t whine that you’re cold. Maybe she just needs to learn on her own, instead of being told. It’s not going to kill her. I am sure they are not bundling themselves up and forgetting to bundle her up.
- Becky on
I agree with the poster who said the website should stop running pictures of the family. The arguments are the same and it’s tiring.
I suppose I don’t understand posts that begin “it drives me crazy…” or “I can’t stand…”. I can’t fathom how a family who has absolutely nothing to do with anyone on here can get people so worked up. None of you will ever meet them nor will you ever be in a position to tell them how to raise their child. Nothing they do concerns you so why continue to beat a dead horse? Maybe some of you get personal satisfaction from it but at the end of the day, it doesn’t change anything; your words mean absolutely nothing.
For some of you, it’s as if Suri’s in so much danger, the next best step is to call social services. Just remember, despite your judgements, Tom and Katie are allowed to raise THEIR daughter however THEY see fit. You can raise your child in the exact opposite manner but at the end of the day, it’s none of your business because it doesn’t affect you.
- Ashleigh on
Obviously the Cruises hired Tinkerbell to fly over Suri with a miniature cordless space heater. Hee hee!
- nettrice on
Ashleigh and others…
Can’t you just choose to NOT read the comments? I don’t see anyone forcing you too… Even if you want to post something…noone’s forcing you to READ what others have written. I think Suri is a beautiful child and enjoy seeing photos of her…I do, however think the child needs a jacket and some sneakers in her wardrobe, but does this mean I don’t ever want to see her gorgeous face? Noooooooooo…
Love the Tinkerbell comment by the way nettrice…haha
- Deadra on
When I saw this picture I just knew that there would be a lot of “opinions” written in over it. My son is 2 years old and he has autism. He is a beautiful little boy, but there are “certain” things that set him off. Long sleeves for example. Perhaps Suri is autistic, or just is a normal stubborn child who refuses to wear a coat. Who relly cares? She is beautiful and taken care of and a healthy little girl. BTW- you can not tell that my son is autistic just by looking at him. Sweet family.
- Lisa on
I am a fan of Tom Cruise’s work, I think Katie Holmes is lovely, and Suri is as beautiful as a child can be. Yes, it is not my issue and I have no control – but I do worry about a child so young in high heels. Even if they are styled for a tot and for dancing, they can and will cause harm to her feet if overdone on a daily basis.
I am a mother with 5 little girls ages 2-5 and proper supportive footwear is high on my list.
My middle girl, Georgina, would give away anything in her world to dress like Suri. Alas for Georginia of sensible shoes and overalls with jumper and jacket!
- ARRA on
Katie has one child and so she caters to her. If she had 6 kids like my mother did (in 6 years no less), she wouldn’t be so lenient with her. I can only imagine that Suri eats what she wants when she wants also. In a big family, you eat what is prepared and put on the dinner table and you wear what you are told to wear. Call me old-fashioned.
- Alice on
Ok regardless of weather it is really cold in Seville or not this is just the tip of the iceberg with the coat debate. Suri has been photographed without a coat when it is snowing or obviously cold numerous times. That is why so many are getting annoyed. If she doesn’t want to wear a coat her mother should tell her that she’s not going anywhere period.
Secondly Suri wearing heels is bad for her feet. It can cause damage to the growing bones in her feet and even damage her Archilles Tendon. Playing dress ups at home is obviously fine but wearing heels all the time even to the park is stupid.
I think Tom and Katie are trying to make Suri into this little princess who is above playing like normal kids and dressing like a normal kid. If that is the case all they are going to do is make her lonely and socially stunted.
To all you who are over the coat comments. Maybe next time you see a post of Suri without her coat on just scroll past.
- Aimee on
Suri does not appear to be cold…you could tell if a child is cold in a picture and she seems to be just fine. These paparazzi are always around & their picture really do not do any justice for this family. How does anybody know that Katie did not just take Suri from the car and they had to walk 15 feet outdoors before they got where they were going. Nobody can say for sure how long they had or will be outdoors. As for Suri’s heels they look just like the little shoes we used to wear to church or on holidays or if that is what we put on in the morning for the day.
- Rachel on
I’ve stopped giving my opinion about the coat. It really is beating a dead horse, but this is the comment section and its so foolhardy to complain about the comments of others-in either direction. This is the comment section, you can’t control what other people write only what you read. Oh and I’m not complaining about others comments just trying to save other people some time having learned this lesson myself.
- electra on
Deadra, in the same sentiment, you can enjoy the pictures without commenting. I doubt it’s a necessary action considering nothing new is ever said.
- Ashleigh on
Has anyone else noticed that, whenever there is a picture of Suri where she’s NOT wearing a dress, or her hair isn’t combed, or her outfit doesn’t look perfectly put-together, there are comments about how Tom and Katie aren’t giving enough attention to her appearance? When will people realize that nobody is a perfect parent? I agree that Suri should be wearing a coat, but that’s just my opinion. I don’t think Suri is going to die because she’s a little cold.
- Lola on
Sorry, I didn’t mean to send my post twice. I got an error when I send the first one and had no clue it went through.
- Becky on
I actually think comments on CBB are tame compared to most sites. Have any of you ever visted justjared, popsugar, celebitchy (etc)?? They berate these celebs and their children with vulgar remarks. PLEASE CBB and the people who comment are a lot nicer about what they say. I don’t see why we have to stop having pics of her. Because people will find anything and anyone to complain about. It just happens that we see Suri quite often.
- JMO on
Suri is adorable, but Katie needs parenting classes imo.
- Celebfan on
She is an overindulged little girl…………….plain and simple……one of the comments was that she lives in a world far different from most of us………..how true
- Momof3 on
I agree with the people saying maybe CBB should quit posting on Suri. Or maybe just post the pictures and not allow comments. No three year old needs to be raked over the coals like this nearly every day and I don’t see any evidence that Katie deserves it either.
- Stella Bella on
Once again, another celebrity bundled up and their child not.
- Sara on
What I don’t understand is how adults are now rationalizing letting children do adult things, like choosing not to wear a coat, wearing high heels, make-up, doing whatever they want, etc… simply because they, as a mature adult, do it. Part of being a kid is learning and accepting that you can’t do the things that adults do because you are a kid! When you grow up you earn the privilege to do what you want to do, but when you are a kid you don’t have the capacity to understand why you can’t/shouldn’t act like an adult, and it’s the adult’s job to help you do so!

My 3 1/2 year old loves to dress himself, and I enjoy seeing the outfits he comes up with. However, I draw the line at him picking t-shirts and shorts in December when I’m bundled in topcoats and snow boots. I don’t care how much he insists…
- Tara on
Suri looks cute and happy!
- Anna on
There can be only one explanation for this. Katie is the odd one who wears coats and scarves when it’s really hot out. There is just no other explanation.
- Meesh on
All I have to say in NYC you send you kid with summer clothes during winter to school and they ACS on you. I think that very irresponsible of them. I guess Spain is warmer but then done this in NYC and Boston! We would make a face or said comment if we pass by someone with a coat and there child has none.
- ALIBABA on
I am with poster number 73. Can we just stop posting pictures of this family? I come here to see cute kids and their parents. This is not cute anymore it’s ANNOYING! I am starting to truly believe that Suri has some sensory issues. I have/had them when I was a child. If my mom tried to put me in a turtle neck, I’d have died from being smothered. Also IF Suri does have sensory issues, is that considered a “mental” condition? We all know how Scientology feels about mental illness. I would think behavioral things would fall under the same category. I feel very sorry for Suri whose needs are not being met as a 3 year old when she’s grown and finds out the world does not revolve around her. Please CBB use your space wisely to post other families who we love!
PS. There is not one single other celebrity child that gets posted on this site, or any other that comes across as a spoiled brat to me. Anyone concur?
- Meesh on
Celebfan- really parenting classes that is laughable because the child doesn’t have a coat or wears dress heels. What a horrible neglectful parent Katie Holmes is, lets call child protective services because this child needs to be remove from the home ASAP!.

I agree with everything you said.
- Shaya on
Maybe Suri could be introduced to a pashmina? That might be a bit more appealing to her than a coat.
- Kaypece on
Tom and Katie need to stop letting Suri rule the house. I don’t care if Suri doesn’t want to wear pants or no coats, Tom and Katie need to set their limits and draw the line.
Could you imagine how Suri will be like as a teenager? She’ll be even worse then she is now!
- Jeannette on
Celebrity or not, time and time again, whether it’s shown through pics or interviews, Tom and Katie, with their lifestyle and parenting style, leave me literally shaking my head in utter amazement. And that ain’t in a good way folks 
- Momto5 on
They’re a beautiful family but I gotta agree. If it’s cold enough for a coat & scarf then Suri should definitely be dressed much warmer.
60′s is cool – I’d be wearing a sweater or jacket and would put my toddler in something at least that warm. No bare legs or arms for goodness sake.
- DD on
Well, Suri looks happy and healthy so there is no problem if she doesn’t wear a coat.
According to weather.com on Monday was 63F in Seville, Spain. That is not cold! So, leave this beautiful family alone.
- Mrs.B on
I find it hard to understand how some people think Suri is a spoiled brat. I mean, in the pictures we see of her, she usually looks extremely well-behaved! We rarely see her having melt-downs!
Anyway, in regards to the coat issue, I agree whole-heartedly with the commentors who pointed out that Suri may have sensory issues or may simply run hot. Both of those things happen to be true of me. I simply don’t feel the cold as much as other people do. I DO wear a coat in the winter and late Fall, but it generally takes me longer to start wearing one when the weather turns cold than it does for other people.
I also don’t own anything with long-sleeves (apart from my coats, that is). As far as sensory issues go, I don’t own turtle necks, jeans, and hardly anything that’s form-fitting (the few form-fitting outfits are dress clothes, and I only wear them when it is absolutly neccesary). I cannot stand the feeling of any of those things (if I were to wear a turtle neck, for example, my neck would be itching AND I’d be roasting to death!). I also dislike wearing shoes and socks and only wear them when it’s neccesary (i.e., when I’m out in public)!
All of that being said, it’s also possible that Katie is like my father (who is even known to wear sweaters on summer mornings from time to time!) and is cold-blooded.
Bottomline: For all we know, there could be a very legitimite reason for Suri not wearing a coat!
- CelebBabyLover on
I do think the heels are odd now – there have been too many photos of her in them.
But the heat thing could easily be genuine. My brother was the same. He used to go out in nothing but a T-shirt (with a vest underneath, which my mum made him wear!) and if you tried to put a coat on him he would be a nightmare. Refusing to go out is all very well, but what are you supposed to do if that is all day every day – stay inside forever? When Mum did manage to get a coat on him he got very very hot very quickly and obviously wasn’t comfortable. As soon as he came indoors from anywhere he would take his socks off because his feet were too hot. Some kids do just run hot, I think.
- vixen on
Actually it’s 19c and sunny in Seville this week, if you lived in Scotland or Ireland that would be defined as a very nice summer day. We would be wearing our shorts and heading to the beach on a day like that ! LOL
- cara on
My daughter fights me on not wearing a jacket but I MAKE HER. I tell her we aren’t leaving the house until she wears one.
- Mary on
Such a cute girl, but brrrrr I’m cold looking at her!
An earlier comment said something about picking battles (or making Suri wear the coat wasn’t worth the meltdown? something like that). Suri is old enough for negotiating. You can wear the dress but you must wear tights and a jacket. She gets to wear what she wants but without freezing in the process. Everything doesn’t have to be a battle OR giving the kid their way 100%, kids are good at compromise.
My 4yo ONLY wants to wear skirts and dresses, she doesn’t care if it’s 25* out. So the deal is when it’s cold she can wear the skirt but she has to wear warm tights, long sleeve shirt and a jacket. I’ve gotten pretty good at making summer clothes into winter clothes. My kiddo has this SUPER cute tank dress it’s grey and blue striped she loves it. It’s too cold to wear that now! So I take a long sleeve white shirt, put the dress over it and put black leggings underneath. Warm and SUPER cute (it’s actually cuter as a fall/winter outfit than it is as a summer one LOL!) See? it’s easy to compromise, no wars or freezing kid needed.
- De on
I love Suri pictures! She is so pretty!

Seville is not so cold! What you should be asking is why is Katie wearing a winter coat & scarf?
- emma on
I can’t wait to see Suri in the middle of February in NY…I wonder if she will still be sporting the spring dresses or if she will be dressed more for the weather.
- Mommyof3 on
I remember having a difficult time with two of my daughters about wearing their winter jackets. I used to put a sweatshirt on them with a hood (they wouldn’t keep hats on)and put a fleece over that. Funny though because now both of them want to wear their winter coats all the time!!!!
- Momof3 on

I particularly never comment on these people because I am not fond of Tom Cruise but I am the parent not my child. Until they are 18 and live on their own and can support themselves they are under my roof and under my rules my 4 year does not make the decision on what she wears. She can have fun and dress up but she will wear a coat the appropriate outerwear determined by the weather there is no negotiation. I remember when my little girl didn’t want to get dressed and wanted to stay in her pajamas. I didn’t fight with her. I put her in her pjs and took her to school she got teased so much by her class mates she never wore her pjs to school again. I love her to death but She knows I and my hubby mean business.
- Kate on
Suri is in no danger of frostbite or hypothermia with temperatures in the 60s. And you get colds, flu, etc. from viruses not from the weather.
- Paula on
I find it amazing how easily people can judge these parents. I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise but, really everyone, we see a glimpse in these parents lives. You have no idea what is going on here. I find it appalling that you can decidedly say they are lazy, irresponsible parents by looking a photos! It just really makes absolutely no sense. Leave this family alone and enjoy looking at their adorable child instead of judging so harshly.
- Davia on
Okay this is so weird! Both parents are bundled up, long sleeves, long pants, scarves, turtlenecks, and their little girl looks like she’s in the middle of July in a breezy sleeveless sundress? Last I heard Seville, Spain was 51F to 64F (Weather Underground).
- eternalcanadian on
While I agree its not freezing out, it isn’t warm either. 64 was the HIGH that day. That means at the warmest part of the day it was 64. I looked at several other shots from that same day. Everyone else is wearing weather appropriate clothing.
While it is true that you cannot catch a cold just from being outside in the cold, being exposed to colder temperatures DOES put a stress on your immune system, making it more likely that you’ll contract a virus or some sort.
I saw another pic from the previous day, and Suri was dressed up like a flamenco dancer with a huge elaborate dress, more ballroom shoes (red striped ones, cute, if you ask me) and huge hoop earrings. It just looks bizarre on a small child.
I don’t care for Tom or Katie and I’m sure they couldn’t care less, but put a friggen sweater on your kid people, sheesh.
- MammaDucky on
Anyone remember the series of photos of Katie fighting with Suri over wearing a sweater when she was much younger? It sounds like they grew tired of fighting with Suri and let her have her way. Some things aren’t worth fighting about, and if Suri were, say 13 and wanted to go to school without a coat, live and learn. But she’s 3, not 13.
- petlover on
Gee, 100+ comments about Suri not wearing a coat and wearing high heels. As a mother of three daughters, now 11, 14 and 17 I’ve been through the no coat and high heel stage…actually, probably still in it. What is the big deal? You don’t get sick from not wearing a coat in cold weather. If the kid was cold, she’d be wearing a coat. If the high heels hurt her feet, she would be wearing flats. I don’t think she is unintelligent. And I don’t see how from pictures anyone can tell she is spoiled or she is very mature for her age, or maybe she is autistic and doesn’t like the feeling of material on her arms.
I think what may be a concern is that she seems to be exposed DAILY to photographers tracking her every move. She can’t visit her father on set without there being a picture released? Aren’t these sets closed at some point and time? There are plenty of other stars’ childrens for which we don’t see their daily activities. Maybe it is time for Tom and Katie to try and avoid all this spotlight for their child. I don’t remember daily pictures of Tom’s two older children. At some point, Suri is going to appreciate some privacy from photographers. Yes, maybe she can get used to it but then again, maybe this is why the child rarely smiles…..
- Denise on
Not sure what the weather is like in Spain, but I’ve noticed that Katie is always bundled up, even in summer. Anywho, I can’t help but see that Suri is a Daddy’s girl who loves spending time with her Daddy.
- Mary-Helen on
Another thought…isn’t a tenet of Scientology to basically let the kid do whatever they want as to not “hinder” who they really are? I thought I read that somewhere…could be why she doesn’t wear a coat…I also thought I read somewhere that Katie is frustrated that Suri isn’t receiving any type of discipline for misbehavior due to this belief…?? Just thinking..
- SDB on
Suri is adorable. Just plain adorable, but she seems to be running their house, but that is not business.
What is her middle name? I can’t remember for the life of me.
- Jessi on
As soon as I saw this pic I thought to myself “Let the Suri coat debate begin yet again!” and so it has. I’m staying out of it! lol I see both sides easily, keeping on neutral ground. Now if she walks around in an NY Dec. day I may very well change sides!
- amsjl on
Denise, what’s the big deal you ask? The big deal is that Suri is the CHILD and Katie is the PARENT. Last time I checked the PARENT called the shots, not the CHILD!
Regardless if you can or can’t get sick from cold weather COMMON SENSE says “dress your child accordingly”. Like honestly you people are telling me that you would allow YOUR child to dress under the weather and not give a hoot about it? If so I must be old fashioned, I dress my kids warmer then myself…you can always take a layer off but you can’t add them when your gone!
- Mommyof3 on
I agree with a previous poster who said that kids should mind their parents and earn the privilege in much later childhood/early adolescence to make adult decisions. To allow a child as young as 3 or 4 to make choices for themselves on any and all issues is giving them power that their minds are not prepared to deal with, and puts them in harm’s way. Mother and Father should know best, not child. The parents claimed their golden child asked to be coat-less in cold weather and be in high heels every day. They must be aware that these are contentious issues. It’s obvious they simply refuse to deny her any of her wishes. If it continues down this path, and the little one continues to make these types of choices, her parents will be faced with a rude awakening when she reaches early adolescence. A child that is allowed to be a spoiled brat turns into a pretty difficult teenager and no a very nice adult. I know because I’ve seen it happen to many kids through the years. I don’t see a rosy future for this wannabe princess, not because she gets everything she wants, but because she is overly adamant about it, and the things that she wants already at this young age are completely inappropriate. Any good psychologist would tell the parents to stand up to this child, before it gets any more out of hand.
- Christiane on
“…you can always take a layer off but you can’t add them when your gone!”
Well, Mommyof3, in other photos you can see that Katie did bring a sweater for Suri. I believe someone posted a link on this thread. For all we know, Suri may have been wearing a sweater earlier in the day and took it off becuase she was hot.
- missy on
This CHILD needs a coat and I’m not going to sugarcoat things by saying what a precious/beautiful child she is. This is just bad parenting.

If you scroll down to about the 5th picture you can see that she had a little cardi with her that day.

Why do we assume that Suri refuses to wear a coat or that Suri makes all the choices? Did Katie say that in an interview that I missed or are we assuming this because it must be Suri refusing to wear a coat?
- michelle on
Suri could have sensory intergration issues. There is a spectrum for it and so hers could be very mild, but look at all those people in the photos where Katie is carrying Suri’s sweater and you will see some very heavy winter wear.

Guess what?! To all the people who on the last post about Suri, commented on what a miserable child she is, and she never smiles-look at the second picture-that looks like a smile to me!”
I’ve noticed that if the picture looks as if it was taken where the Cruises are unaware Suri tends to look happy and smiling. If it’s obvious that the paps are visible she does not. She tends to hide her face and or cover her ears when she can. I really hope interest in her dies down as she gets older but I have a feeling that won’t happen.

Suri is such a pretty little girl. I love to see her smile …..
- Bancie1031 on
Christiane said:”I don’t see a rosy future for this wannabe princess, not because she gets everything she wants, but because she is overly adamant about it, and the things that she wants already at this young age are completely inappropriate.”
How do you know she’s “overly adamant” about anything? Are you there? Do you know what goes on in their house, or are you gathering all this information merely on photographs of her and her parents?
Christiane also said:”A child that is allowed to be a spoiled brat turns into a pretty difficult teenager and no a very nice adult.”
Why do you call her a “spoiled brat”? Because she wants to wear dress-up shoes with heels and no coat and her parents allow it, that means she’s a “spoiled brat”? I don’t understand your logic. Just because you may not like the parents doesn’t mean you should make such mean assumptions about a 3 year old child. Judge the parents if you want but leave this little girl alone.
I can’t believe you people. It’s really ridiculous. There are children out in the world who are truly in trouble and have to deal with physical and mental abuse daily. This little girl is clearly happy loved (you see her with her parents all the time hugging her and holding her) and all you can do is pick pick pick and judge judge judge. It’s really quit shameful.

There are some photos of Suri with a long sleeve dress recently: http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/12/08/suri-cruise-has-pretty-pink-heels/#more-533926 same heels but at least she is without a summer dress

No offense but she really needs warmer clothes. Her arms and legs are exposed to the cold climate. She must have a great immune system.
- elizabeth on
i know i’m about to start sounding like an old lady despite not even being 25 yet… but darn, when i was a kid, my mum would have never, never, EVER let me go out without a coat in cold weather just because “i didn’t want to”. she would have put it on me without giving a rat’s rear end about my tantrum like every sensible parent i know of does. and no, that isn’t a dictatorship, it’s called caring for your kids and realising that they are just that, kids. (oh, and the thing about suri making all the decisions and controlling her parents HAS been said in interviews – search “suri cruise large and in charge” and see for yourself).
if we’re going to let 3-year-olds act like adults without any concern for their mental and physical health, why not endorse child labour?
- the larch on
I haven’t been to CBB in a minute and this picture of Suri really took my breath away. She is such a beautiful girl and has grown! I came to the comments page because I saw loads of comments and I thought I was going to be joining a chorus of similar minds.
I’m really quite blown away by how nitpicky and judgemental most of these comments are. I hundred percent agree with Davia’s post. It’s pretty shameful.
- cheekymama on
Seriously, it is interesting how this child never seems to get cold, even when everyone else is bundled up.
- Terri on
the larch- No, that’s been said by TABLOIDS, not in legite Tom or Katie interviews in reliable media sources.
- CelebBabyLover on
I wonder why Suri is never wearing a coat or a sweater. It seems like her mother is dressed for cold weather, while the little one is in a summer dress!
- meera r. on
Here is an idea. Have a couple of custom coats and jackets made for her with beads, baubles, sparkles and battery operated lights. If the coat is a struggle, that should get the job done. She no doubt wants to show off her pretty dresses.
- Jean on
Really? Have you guys had children? I have a 7 year old that NEVER wears a coat because he’s never cold. I force it and it is nothing but whines of him being hot and when he was little a tantrum. He is in shorts and t-shirt year round. His siblings dress for the weather, he refuses. He is just naturally warm.
i say you all get a life and worry about your own children and business.
- M. on
What a precious child! I like Suri’s look in the first picture: soo determined as if she goes to a beauty contest. That’s a girl with an attitude and I like that very much. She’s going to see her dad for God’s sake and nobody could stop her! You go girl! She’s dressed like a princess, she looks good and feels good, not feeling the cold as she’s warm inside waiting to see her dad. So sweet. I am impressed by her personality: so rare in a child of this age.

Me again. She’s been like this from a tender age: http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2008/08/09/suri-cruise-has-style-amp-attitude.aspx God,she’s two here!
A caption for this could be: Did you have enough of Suri Cruise? Now what? Love the smile on her face!! Hope she will give us pleasant surprises in 2010.
