Suri Cruise has just turned 18, and it is clear that she’s rejecting one big thing about her celebrity child past – her iconic Real Housewives of Kindergarten aesthetic.
Usually, teenagers aren’t old enough to have a past, but when you’re born famous, by the time you’ve graduated high school, the world has already seen many different versions of you. Such is life for Suri.
The young adult was spotted taking a solo stroll around New York City, and her outfit spoke for itself.
Suri wore the unofficial Generation Z uniform: baggy pants, an oversized jacket, and a tiny top. She’s in the era of wearing the kind of tops that make your nan tell you that your kidneys will get cold.
She looked great but was casual, like any other teenager you’d walk past in a shopping centre. She had excellent casual street style, but you wouldn’t say she looked glamorous or glitzy.
This is quite the rejection of the fashion identity created for her as a child.
If you’ve somehow managed to dodge the pop culture phenomenon that is Suri, well, it’s easy to catch up.
Her dad is action star Tom Cruise, known for doing his own stunts and being a Scientologist. Her mum, Katie Holmes, played Joey in the late-90s teen hit Dawson’s Creek and while she’s never found the same kind of mainstream career success since, she’s remained a tabloid fixture.
Suri’s parents got married in 2006, after a whirlwind romance that saw Tom appear on Oprah, jump on her couch, and announce, “I’m in love”.
Then Suri entered the picture and became a celebrity instantly, achieving a similar level of fame that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s daughter, North, 10, currently enjoys.
Before Suri could walk, she was a subject of public fascination, and the way her parents dressed her made her downright iconic.
While most toddlers might wander around in a stained Bonds onesie, toddler Suri dressed more like an actual princess.
She wore high heels and couture and dressed more like a rich housewife than a child who wasn’t old enough to read.
She never looked like she was going on a playdate; instead, she dressed like she was about to go to a soiree.
The fact that she dressed like a middle-aged woman with an Amex caused lots of buzz at the time.
Some people thought it was wrong, and some thought it was harmless fashion, but everyone could agree that it made Suri more famous. She wasn’t just another celebrity kid hanging in the background she was prancing around in a faux fur coat.
Her parents split in 2012, and from then on, Suri remained with her mum in New York City. Her diva dressing lessened over the years, but now she’s ditched it altogether.
These days, she wears sneakers instead of high heels. She’s seen getting around in baggy pants instead of sparkly clothes, and she seems to have ditched the rich vibes for a more down-to-earth look.
Suri hasn’t carried glamour into her adulthood but rejecting your parent’s ideas is a rite of passage, and one even Gen Z is still enthusiastically embracing.
