Yesterday (December 7), Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise visited Tom Cruise on the set of his new movie “Knight & Day”. Tom got some snuggles in with his girls, which made for some very cute pictures!
As Tom wrapped up filming in Seville, Spain for the day, the family was seen leaving the set and heading home (aka a hotel) for the day. I am not sure how much longer Tom will be in Spain, but most likely not for very much longer.
The Cruise family looks so cute in the picture above, even though Suri seems a little camera shy today. There is one picture below that you will see of her where she seems to be looking straight at the camera and has the cutest little smirk on her face.
I LOVE Katie’s red scarf and Tom is looking might fine in his blue sweater.
You can see that Suri is wearing her high heel ballroom shoes that everyone has been talking about. It’s actually kind of silly how much the media and everyone else is talking about these shoes! I say let the Cruise’s worry about their daughter’s feet and fashion and move on. 
More pictures below.

Julie, if we’re not to comment on a three year old walking around in ballroom heels all the time, please let us know what you feel we should comment on, okay?
I aim to please.
I’m sorry but I don’t see the big deal with her wearing heels. It’s not like she walks around 24-7 in them. What mother hasn’t let there little girl walk around in there heels and play. Get over it is what I say.
Also, its definitely odd that when adults are completely in winter clothing ( Iassume the temp. must be really low), how come little Suri bares her hands and down the knees always? It may not be a good idea to let her do that. ALthough, I have seen small kids here in freezing Seattle 2 days ago with just half sleeves Tees ad Pants… they are really adaptive then.
I agree that 9 out of 10 times during cold weather temps you see pics. of both Tom and Katie wearing sweaters, coats, enormous scarfs and then you have Suri who looks like she is ready to go for a walk on the beach???? Is she that difficult that they let her get her way no matter if it is inappropriate?
Snicker,…snicker…I have to agree with you Julie. Imagine being judged as a parent based on a few photos. What’s worse is that these photo only represent a moment of Katie and Suri’s entire day. Oh well…if it’s not the shoe thing, it’s the coat thing. If it’s not the coat thing, it’s a discipline thing. And on and on and on. Everyone has an opinion but that’s just the way the world works.
I think her shoes are fine. Ballroom shoes can have more support than other common kids footwear. And based on the amount of $ Katie has at her disposal, I’m sure she buys the best for Suri. I wonder what the world would say about flip-flops, crocs, uggs, etc…..not much I suspect even though they’re abysmal when it comes to arch support.
Ok….coats on everyone and not Suri? No arguement here. It doesn’t seem right. If I saw any child outside without a coat on and a short sleeve dress I would think this. It is not a judgement call either….it is quite odd.
Sharon, you forgot her hair. If the criticism isn’t about one of the things you mentioned than it is the hair!
I again checked the temperature in Seville today, it was about 66F with humidity around 93% and quite sunny.
Those shoes are Flamenco/Folklorico shoes.. I teach those types of dance. They are very sturdy and very expensive.
love the red scarf on Katie, red suits her so much, always has , she doesn’t wear bright colours enough, she glows in nice colours they make her come alive.
I think we should all give an opinion, on what colour and dress style shoes and hair we all would like to see Katie in , say for an evening out, like the DIZZY FEET event she went too the other night. What fun would that be? (or maybe not) what do you guys think?
I think Katie looks stunning in red too Annie. Suri does as well.
I like your suggestion.
I dont care what other say about suri not wearing coat she’s not cold at all..about her shoes..guys my granddaughter only 2 years old she love to wear her mummy heels .the shoes that suri wear ..is a barbie shoes..can’t you see go to the supermarket you can buy a pair of barbie shoes,…..
Mary…I’m glad to see someone who shares in my opinion. I like your temperature update too. Perhaps Julie needs to post the temperature along with the pictures so there’s less controversy.
From pictures and interviews, it seems Katie does let Suri navigate her own world to a certain extent and I applaud her for it. It’s a great gift to give a child the room to make his/her own mistakes while you’re around to help them and keep them safe. Experience is the best teacher.
Sadly, I’ve seen too many kids these days that can’t take a step without being constantly corrected or over-parented. I’ve followed the “experience is the best teacher” method with my own kids, 11 and 13, and they’re respectful, confident and make great decisions, both socially and academically.
Maureen…. see “Dancerina’s” comment, 3 up from yours.
Majority of the commentators agree that we love the Cruise family. Suri is no different than any other 2-year-old girl. Since she is the daughter of two very famous people the gossip magazines see opportunity to make $$$ by writing up crazy stories for people to “buy” into and purchase their magazines.
Has anyone seen Tom Cruise’s official TomCruise.com Facebook Page? Just thought it was interesting.
Sharon – I completely agree with your post. I think it’s great that they give Suri the space to learn for herself – nothing worse than a young adult who has clearly leanred nothing for themselves due to overbearing parents!!!
I think the whole family look great right now
To be honest , what bothers me about Suris clothes, or lack of, or her little heels , etc is the fact that this little girl is only 3 1/2 and she is involved in controversy already . The media fuels things , I know, but some of the stuff out there, that is being written about Suri at the moment is not nice, as a matter of fact a lot of it is disgusting.
At this point , its gone too far ,as far as I’m concerned , its time her parents started laying down a few laws, and more importantly not giving people the opportunity to talk about their daughter. Honestly its about time that maybe they paid more attention to what she wears in public, because up until now , I thought , ok , she is only a little kid , but this little kid is in the public arena and people talk.
Back in Boston , one day , Suri wore a little white and green dress , with cute little black pants pink mary janes and a little green cardi…she looked totally adorable, WHO dressed her on that day, it obviously wasn’t Suri, this is what I’m beginning not to understand.
I’m not saying that they shouldn’t allow her to express herself but to a certain extent because now really it seems to have gone too far. You give a little child an inch , they will make sure they take a mile . I’m beginning not to understand Tom and Katie, really I’m not. It bothers me how this little girl is talked about, its not good! Truly its about time they acted like resposible parents, because honestly they don’t lately.
annie,….i don’t understand how any of us “fans” can know what these parents are or are not doing. We don’t know them, have never talked to them or been in their homes. We’ve never met Suri, talked to Suri or been in her home when she gets dressed. Any “controversy” in the media is generated by the media and fans. Tom and Katie can’t stop them….and who cares? If people want to “talk”, let them talk.
You said, “You give a little child an inch, they will make sure they take a mile.” How do you know this? Have you met Suri? How do you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this child takes advantage of every opportunity she gets? I just don’t get it. I don’t believe anyone, myself and you included, knows enough about Tom and Katie’s parenting style or Suri’s temperment to make such sweeping judgements.
I have to interject my opinion in here a little bit. To Sharon…perhaps Annie feels comfortable saying that if you give a young child an inch they will be sure to take a mile because it is very often TRUE. Anyone who has ever dealt with young children knows this. It is a fact that not EVERY child will do this but it is also a fact that MOST will. As for letting a child express themselves with what they wear…I have never been a big fan of that while they are very little. I have a unique perspective on this issue in that I do have children of my own(a teen and one almost 21) and I run an in-home daycare and have a lot of first-hand knowledge about young children and how they work. It has been my experience that a lot of my daycare parents let their 3, 4, or 5 year old wear what they want to daycare because they just don’t feel like arguing in the morning with their little sweetie. A lot of times these little ones will throw a HUGE fit because they want to wear something to daycare and when told no don’t like it. So Mom caves because she doesn’t feeling like dealing with a crying, screaming child at 7:30 in the morning. Now, these clothing choices run the gamut of a super hero Halloween costume over the regular clothes(one that is all one piece with a neck that closes by tying and therefore makes it impossible to get out of quickly for potty breaks), to the child that wants to pile 8 different t-shirts one on top of the other, to wearing winter boots with shorts in the summer and flip flops in the winter, to one little girl that constantly rolls up the waistband of her skirts as short as she can make them to look like Hannah Montana(this little girl is 4, by the way). These parents don’t care if they make my day harder with some of these ridiculous get ups so long as THEY don’t have to listen to the fit. And as far as I can tell the real problem comes when the little sweetie is old enough for kindergarten and then one day wants to wear the super hero outfit to school on a Monday in January and Mom now has a problem. The school won’t allow it because of the dress code but “little sweetie” doesn’t get it because he was allowed to wear it to daycare EVERY time he wanted. So Mom has created a monster and now has a DAILY battle with the child before school. I have seen this first hand. So now we circle back to my original point that if you give a child an inch they are likely to take a mile. And the annoying part is that a lot of parents are too lazy or careless or weak to say no to their child when they want to wear something inappropriate for the event, or day, or circumstance and by doing that create a whole world of problems for the future. Now I will get off my soapbox.
Lillianne……………At least in the examples you gave, you have experienced that first hand.
With Suri, it’s vastly different…….. People are making ridiculous assumptions, levelling the most vile of insults, labelling a child and stating things as fact when they have no basis for doing so.
Now I will get off my soapbox.
A few weeks ago I walking around downtown Manhattan,it was crowded where I was and then the prettiest little girl holding a woman’s hand was walking towards me…… her dress was red and it reminded me of the red dress that Suri has. As I got closer I realized that it was Suri and Katie, just holding hands and walking with the crowd. No gaggle of screaming paps that I noticed, mother and daughter were just part of the crowd.
Hi Sharon
I’m one of Tom and Katies biggest fans, but not the type of fan that thinks just because I like them, whatever they do is right, or they look perfect, or they are so wonderful. I’m not like that, if I see something that I like , I will say it , if there is something I don’t like , I will say it, thats the way its always been.
You’re right Sharon, I don’t know them, but like I have said before the only things that seperate them from the rest of us is fame and tons and tons of money, nothing else. Marriage, relationships , they are the same for everybody, the same feelings of love lust happiness sadness disappoinment are there for them just like you and me, and that goes for children as well, Suri is no different from your child or mine, she is still a little girl, and all kids whether its yours or mine will try to take a mile when you give them an inch , no matter how old they are, it keeps on going , they will always try for that extra bit.
Yes , I am curious how sometimes Suri wears long sleeves, and other times she is dressed like it is the middle of summer, ok I understand she doesn’t want to wear a coat, but why is her closet filled with summer dresses, instead of something like she wore on the set of The Romantics, it was lightweight long sleeved and she wore tights underneath, Why isn’t her closet filled with these clothes, you are trying to tell me that Suri from the age of 2 knew not to wear anything with sleeves.
I saw Katie showing Suri clothes in a video, asking her which one she liked ….a 2yr old, you are the mother , so what is the problem, I don’t see one, unless mum creates one, or dad creates one, or certain beliefs create one.
I have no problem with the little dancing shoes she wears, if not worn everyday, but now they are worn almost everyday, and Suri has more pairs, the inch is gone and we are heading for the mile.
So you have a little girl in the middle of winter in summery gear , heels lipstick whatever , and all the Sick people of the internet have a field day with her , for me that is Disgusting, and it has to stop, and for this reason , and yes Sharon I don’t know Tom and Katie, but I am still angry at them, because they are the parents , Katie is the mother, and its about time she took control of things, and showed some strengh, she’ll be doing Suri a favour in the long run!
I meant to say that I understand that she doesn’t want to wear a coat.
people diregard the above comment about the coat, I’m in such a hurry, but I had to say what I felt.
Have a good day everyone!
Lilliane…uh oh….I’m in trouble! LOL! Anyway, been there, done that with the clothes thing. I have 2 children so I get the whole “weak parent, bad behaved child” thing. I too, chose my children’s clothes early on. I’d stress over what they were wearing until a dear friend of mine, who has a teaching degree in special education and can handle the toughest of kids, gave me some advice. Don’t stress on the clothes. Kids learn a lot from their parents and, unfortunately, sometimes even more from their peers. In kindergarten, did my daughter wear some crazy outfits? Yes. She’d clash like crazy but she met dress codes at school. Did I put my foot down and say change your clothes? Oh, how I wanted to! But I didn’t. Did she keep it up for long? LOL,…no! She received some mixed reviews and decided to try harder getting dressed in the morning. As for the giving an inch thing, I agree. Many parents give in and they create monsters. My point is that we simply don’t know Suri. I would never make a judgement about someone as young as Suri based on a few photos that represent such a small portion of her life.
Annie….I’m not one of those fans either. I don’t really have an opinion one way or the other. I try to stay neutral and that’s my position here. What bothers me are the judgements being made about this child.
My kids are 11 and 13. They know the limits set forth in our house and that there are no idle threats as to consequences. I’ve given them room to grow and had great results. They don’t ask for an inch and know they can’t take a mile. I think if was any different, I wouldn’t have raised them to the best of my ability.
As for the recent pictures in Spain, the weather wasn’t cold. With weather in the 60’s, I don’t get the coat controversy. I’ve never seen her closet so I can’t comment on it containing only summer dresses. I don’t understand why engaging a 2 1/2 year old is a bad thing while shopping. Maybe she wanted to buy one dress, liked both and decided to let Suri pick the winner.
You make a good point about the internet perverts….kinda creepy. Then again, celebrities are always going to be photographed. Tom’s status as a celeb will always draw interest. As a result, I think Suri would need to be well versed about the pros and cons of living in a high profile family….for her own protection. I would think it takes a great deal of calm and fortitude to brave public parks, streets, etc. when you’re so recognizable. I couldn’t do it but I respect Katie for not hiding her and her family at home or in an apartment somewhere. That’s no way to live either.
Live and let live!
Suri appears to be a very happy and well cared for child with a wonderful sense of adventure.
The nonsense that’s written on the Internet is disgusting and is proof positive that celebrity children should be off limits. Such comments should never be directed toward a child!
I applaud Tom and Katie for living their lives with such dignity under such glaring scrutiny and such broad, uncalled for judgements.
There is a nice article in the Huffington Post…Why can’t Suri Cruise play dress up? by April Daniels Husar. It’s really an interesting piece.
For me its not that Suri can’t wear these clothes, or the lip glosses and heels, its just that she is in the public eye, and Katie should be more aware of what Suri wears, not for any other reason, other than not to give sickos , tv, magazines, newspapers, a reason for her beautiful little girl to be a matter of discussion, and not in a positive way, thats all.
I have said enough!
well said mary…
That beautiful little girl has been a matter of discussion since she was in utero and the vilest of things said and wished on her.
Look at her now…………..She appears happy, well-cared for, adventurous, curious and very much loved.
The Cruise’s are damned if they do and damned if they don’t!
The sickos , tv, magazines, newspapers, blogs should be ashamed of themselves for focusing and writing rubbish about a three and a half year old child!
BTW….There are pics of the family at a theme park in Seville, the look on Suri’s face is priceless! Conor and Bella were there too!
Thank you Sharon…………..I’ll get off my soapbox now.
The coat conversation seems a bit trite to me, but I find everyone’s opinions interesting..
Suri never seems freezing to me
What is confusing me in this thread, are there two Marys?
Kelly…………..The comments here are from the same Mary….Me!
Can someone please point out where all these “vile” articles regarding Suri are. I swear to God, I haven’t seen them!! Most of what I’ve seen recently are discussions about her clothing which are absolutely NOT insulting toward the baby. A little judgemental maybe, but Suri is in the public eye and there is going to be commentary. Am I missing something?? Perhaps these are not mainstream articles from normal media sources? I don’t read tabloids and the like. I really would like to know what Mary is talking about. Thanks alot!!
sorry mary! I can be a bit of a flake:)
I haven’t read all the comments above, but i’m pretty sure i saw something about a coat..So i have to speak my mind. I see in these pictures that everyone is wearing coats, and long sleeves, except for suri..i wonder how responsible are katie and tom if they can let their dauther wearing summer dresses in the middle of the winter…I mean, what the hell? i’m assuming there were like max 15 degrees there, so a summer dress is deffinetly innapropiate…But whatever…they are the parents you all admire..i don’t know why exactly, but you do! and you should think twice
