Suri Cruise Plays Dress-Up in Designer Duds
Categories: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parenting
As long as they get dressed, the rest is just details.
Tom Cruise has said that, like a typical tot, daughter Suri Cruise likes to choose her own clothes every morning, too, and prefers dresses. But for some reason, I never see her in mismatched socks or blindingly opposing patterns. Is that she has her mom's sense of style? Or is it because at age three, she already has the closet of a fashionista?

Who's that Girl?Hint: This celeb-baby always looks like a doll. At just two-and-a-half-years-old she is probably one of the youngest fashion icons of her day -- and you won't see her out of a dress. Except here. The answer comes next.

According to Star magazine, Suri is a swag magnet. Companies send her designer clothes and shoes, hoping she'll wear them and get noticed. "If Suri wears it out in public, it becomes a big seller, so designers are smart to floor her with their wares," says the source. "She's the world's No. 1 fashion plate under 3!"
Does anyone else think it's weird that companies are sending goodies to a toddler? The only mail my kids get are birthday cards. And if this is true, do you think Tom and Katie should allow it?
Perhaps even weirder, Suri gets about 100 pieces of her own fan mail every day. Some might say that Tom and Katie aren't doing enough to keep her under wraps, but it's clear by the way they raise Tom's older children, Bella and Conner, that they're committed to as normal a life as possible for their kids.
Suri will have a fashion disaster eventually, we all do. But most of us aren't followed everywhere by the paparazzi. What's the worst thing your kid ever put on?

No, I don't think it is weird that companies send her clothes. As you said, if she wears it, it becomes a big seller. It is a marketing decision.
I'm OK with that. They don't parade her about, but they are constantly seen in real life with the child because they will never be left alone. I think they put up with the things that are a PITA about being a celebrity so they ought to get the benefits as well.
I'm admittedly fanatical about what my kids wear and their hair, so they have never left the house in anything worse that what I dress them in. OK..I did give in and let DS wear his Darth Vader costume every day for a week (including outside), but he didn't leave the neighborhood! :)

I always feel a bit sorry for Suri Cruise. Of course: the goodies seem to be endless, but will they make her happy? A child her age needs space to play, more than designer clothes and expensive accessories. I f you watch recent pictures of her, you always see her protecting her eyes against the flashlights of the camera's. She cannot set one step outside her house without being followed by photographers or a curious crowd. As she turns older, she will become more and more aware of the pressure that comes with being in the spotlights. Despite the fanmail, goodie bags and delicious cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery, I honestly think no child would like to be in her Mary Janes (at least not on the long term).
