Last week, Suri Cruise was spotted in New York City on a rainy day wearing an asymmetrical skirt and retro sneakers, a look that harkened back to the early 2000s. Despite the weather, she looked effortlessly chic, carrying a leopard print umbrella and a small red handbag slung over her shoulder as she walked with friends. The outfit may have been inspired by her mother, the queen of street style, Katie Holmes, but it perfectly captured that easy, vintage vibe.
The asymmetrical skirt, likely made from a flowing cotton fabric, exudes a super casual and relaxed vibe. This trend is making a comeback, with Zendaya recently wearing a similar look at the Paris Olympics. The modern cut of the skirt effortlessly exudes early 2000s cool.
Meanwhile, Suri’s sneakers were actually the same ones her mother, Katie Holmes, wore on Mother’s Day, when she showed off a sporty look in a yellow sweater, blue track pants and sneakers from the famous New York brand PONY (short for Product Of New York). She wore the M-100 Low Vintage model in off-white/blue/orange. Is Suri borrowing her mother’s shoes or simply taking fashion inspiration?
It seems that Katy’s impeccable street style may also be influencing Suri’s fashion choices. Katy is known for her laid-back yet chic aesthetic, often mixing comfortable pieces with fashionable details. Suri seems to share this sensibility, combining casual and contemporary pieces in equal measure.
In fact, last week, Suri was spotted out and about in MUNTHE’s lightweight, summery “Melvin Pants,” a choice that reflects her mother’s penchant for effortlessly elegant clothing — an ensemble we could easily see Holmes wearing herself.
Suri started using a new name.
In a recent update, Suri now goes by “Suri Noelle” instead of “Suri Cruise” and uses her mother’s middle name as her last name. Page Six reports that a source revealed that Suri “is paying tribute to her mother by using her middle name,” adding that one of the reasons for the change is that she “want her own identity.” Taking the Holmes name confirms the close bond between mother and daughter and her desire to break away from the connection she has always had with her father, Tom Cruise, and forge her own path.
