Katie Holmes and Suri Have a Rain Date
 INF |
A smiley Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise, 2 ½, take tothe New York City streets during the rain on Thursday morning. Themom-daughter duo has been making the rounds in Manhattan lately –sometimes with dad Tom Cruise — while Katie stars on Broadway in the play All My Sons. Are any equally adorable siblings on the way for Suri? Tom’s ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, certainly hopes so!
For more photos of Tom, Suri, and Katie check out our Holmes-Cruise Family Gallery!

Suri just keeps getting cuter!
November 6th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Aw, Suri is an adorable little girl. That umbrella is cute too.
See, she’s wearing pants and a long sleeved top and not to mention wearing Baby Gap shoes – are people happy now? I guess some people will complain about her being held and not walking or something *rolls eyes*
November 6th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
I find it ridiculous that people are always complaining about celebs kids being carried all the time.
Most the pictures taken are in parking lots or near streets.
Plus there are probably 20 creepy guys snapping pictures and trampling over each other, doesn’t sound like a safe environment to let a toddler walk around in.
I carry my kids around near those places too. They are only toddlers!
November 6th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
is she wearing pants?
whoa!
she looks superr cute
=)
November 6th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Finally she’s got long sleeves and pants on. She looks so adorable. Still no coat like Katie’s wearing but it’s better.
November 6th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
I love this adorable pic of Katie and Suri smiling and looking so much alike. Very cute.
November 6th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
THERE we go! Much better. Gotta say, Suri looks really adorable in a casual outfit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her in little leggings.
November 6th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Guess what they said is true
that she is a baby gap model..
The where to find it ..
section shows that it came
from baby gap…
It is nice to see that she is
wearing pants and every celebrity baby knows one
paparazzi person they smile at
him
November 6th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
It is nice to see Katie dress Suri appropriately for the weather. I was beginning to think that all Suri had to wear was dozens of summer or spring dresses.
On a side note, there has been much discussion as to how Katie dresses Suri and many posters would say that how Katie choose to dress Suri is no our business and I would have to disagree.
Parents do not have absolute or 100% discretion when it comes to how they raise or care for their children because if they did there would be no need for Child Protective Services or Family Courts. Parents do not always make the right decisions which is why as a society we have to look out for each other’s children.
I have no problem saying that if 40 degrees outside and raining, Suri needs more than a blanket to keep her warm.
November 6th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
How cute!!! She was probably so excited to wear her new clothes!!!
November 6th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
wow, she’s wearing clothes that u mite see on an average kid lol! about the carrying thing, it seems that most celebs carry their kids a bit longer than most. my theory on that is that they know the paps are real nearby, and perhaps they dont feel as comfortable allowing them to walk around as much in public, even if it is right next to them.
November 6th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Now THIS is what little kids wear. Clothes that are relatively inexpensive so you don’t mind if your children play and get dirty in them. And they look much more comfortable.
November 6th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
First of all, Suri is cute in whatever she wears and I do not care what her parents choose to dress her in as long as she does not have the look of discomfort in her face. I for one sweat too easily and can never be too bulked up or sleep with the heat too high, but everyone’s body is different
Second of all, what is expensive to you is not the same for Katie and Tom as they are in another economic bracket. Katie and Tom shopping at Baby Gap is equivalent to you shopping at Wal-Mart or a liquidation store imho. Seriously, if I had money like Tom and Katie, I would have my baby girl in the finest threads from cashmere to silk to the softest Egyptian cotton.
November 6th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
I dont agree about celebs carrying their kids. I once babysat a boy who was 7 and his very tall mother carried him around. When i babysat him he demanded i carried him around too, but he reached to my chin !! How could I carry him !!! And his mother was in no way a celeb.
November 6th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Aww this is such an adorable picture of them together!
November 6th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
I wonder if celebs keep the great shots that the paparazzi take of them.
November 6th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
You know what’s ridiculous? The “are you happy now” comments. Seriously, people were just worried about her not being weather appropriate. As you are not her parents, you have no right to tell anyone “I told you so!”
Once again, Suri is freaking adorable. I’m glad she’s in warm clothes and can play without needing to be wrapped in a blanket when she gets cold.
November 6th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Looks like she is potty trained, she doesn’t seem to have a diaper under her leggings.
She’s still not as warmly dressed as her mother. Katie has a turtleneck, a long coat and boots. Suri’s outfit is for indoors. I just don’t get it.
I guess I’ll be the exception in that I don’t like the style in which they dress her. It’s never anything I’d pick for my kids. Same goes for her hairstyle.
Also I’ll be the exception in that I don’t think she’s supremely cute. She has something striking about her, but I see cuter kids every day.
November 6th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Suri’s cute in WHATEVER she wears. I bet that shirt and shoes will be sold out tomorrow because fashion icon Suri wore them.
Stef..
I agree with everything you said. I couldn’t believe people were bashing Tom and Katie for buying their baby girl the finest. If they dress in the finest, why shouldn’t their child? Jealousy is a sick disease…
November 6th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
Beautiful photo of Katie and Suri.
November 6th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Suri is so cute. I love gap clothes, they are very nice. But if tom and katie wanted to just buy suri real expensive clothes, I could careless because it’s their money that they work for. Unless they ask any of us for say $300 for a juicy couture outfit, than it’s not my business to be annoyed if every outfit she wears cost more than a grown up’s outfit. As for suri, she is a beautiful child and tom and katie look like they adore her
November 7th, 2008 at 12:06 am
Nikka- I agree with Heather. If you had several guys chasing you around and trying to take your picture all the time, you’d probably think twice about letting your younger child walk.
Also, what you said about the mother carrying around her 7 year old is pretty irrelevant. I have yet to see a celeb carrying around their 7 year old!
November 7th, 2008 at 12:07 am
Suri has no coat on although it has been warm on the east coast despite the rain .. mid 60s and she probably doesn’t need a coat
November 7th, 2008 at 12:33 am
Just adorable.
November 7th, 2008 at 1:02 am
I wavered on whether or not I Should open the post because I hate the constant comments about her lack of warmer clothes.
I thought since she was def wearing warmer clothes in this photo that there’d be nothing but of course theres those people who just can’t let it go or they find something else to complain/pick on. *eye roll*
Anyway, cutiest little girl ever! I love her little umbrella! It’s too cute. I love when she smiles
November 7th, 2008 at 1:58 am
It is nice to see Suri is starting to smile a lot now =)
November 7th, 2008 at 2:27 am
OMG!! Such a cutie!! I’m lovin’ the red shoes and the umbrella is too cute! What a healthy, happy, beautiful little girl!
November 7th, 2008 at 6:07 am
Miss B, if you read back through the comments people have made in the past about why they may object to the expensive clothes, it’s about as far from jealousy as you can get! I was extremely surprised you said that, but I imagine you probably didn’t look back over the past posts so I understand now lol. Personally I couldn’t give a monkeys about how much a child’s clothes cost, as long as they are taught the value of money in some way. So the cost of Suri’s clothes doesn’t bother me at all, but I understand why people make comments, and from what I’ve seen, NOBODY is jealous!
.
I love this top Suri is in, and regardless of the cost, I much prefer it to the dresses lol.
November 7th, 2008 at 6:45 am
Suri is so cute no matter what she wears. But Ms. N: can a two year old really be a “fashion icon”???
November 7th, 2008 at 7:21 am
Suri is absolutely adorable.
Such a cute smile!
Be sure to check out the rest of the pictures on Just Jared. They are so precious.
November 7th, 2008 at 7:54 am
@ Stedine: “Seriously, if I had money like Tom and Katie, I would have my baby girl in the finest threads from cashmere to silk to the softest Egyptian cotton.”
I so agree =D
November 7th, 2008 at 7:59 am
Still showing off the Suri outfits. Mom has a coat on. Suri does not. What whack jobs. I think it’s, “What Suri wants, Suri gets.”
November 7th, 2008 at 8:04 am
FINALLY!
Now all we have to work on is that jacket thing….
November 7th, 2008 at 8:11 am
What a fantastically adorable photo! I just love this mother/daughter duo. This picture looks like an ad in a magazine or something. These two are just so glamorous. I certainly hope someone sends Katie this picture!
And Ms.B THANK YOU for identifying the REAL issue behind people’s ‘concern’ about the price of Suri’s clothing. So Tom and Katie can afford to buy things the average person cannot. Big whoop. People need to get over that, and quickly. I think people are just bothered that they cannot do the same, and so continue to bash what they label ‘materialism’. Jealousy is a helluva thing.
I also don’t believe it’s anyone’s business how someone else’s child is dressed, but I’m tickled by some of the ‘justifications’ people utilize about why they have the ‘right’ to criticize, like child welfare and child comfort and whatnot
Too funny!
November 7th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Suri is very cute. Dressed according to the weather. If you look at the rest of the pictures on Just Jared you’ll also notice she is walking in most of them. Nothing to complain about about this adorable picture.
November 7th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Yes, she looks adorable (as usual) & yes, she is dressed more like it’s chilly out, but what I am so happy about…SHE’S IN AN OUTFIT THAT I COULD NOT ONLY AFFORD, BUT WOULD ALSO LET MY KIDS PLAY IN!!!
November 7th, 2008 at 9:18 am
It’s so nice to see them BOTH smiling! I hope to see more!
November 7th, 2008 at 9:47 am
It’s so great to see Suri looking to happy. My heart was breaking seeing all those pics of her recently where she was in obvious distress, covering her ears, etc. And yes, I’m happy to see her in some weather & kid appropriate outfits. I don’t think the concerns over her wardrobe were out of jealousy, however. I just got tired of hearing magazines & blogs gush about what a fashion icon Suri is (she’s 2 years old!), along with the prices of her clothes being splashed around as if it were to somehow show that Tom & Katie love their daughter because they buy her expensive party dresses to wear to go play in the park. And I agree with those who have said that it’s the issue of teaching the child to value what she/he has, to realize that not everyone is as fortunate, etc that is most important. There are plenty of people who are quite wealthy who buy their kids clothing that is reasonably priced. Just because you’ve got it doesn’t mean you have to spend it.
November 7th, 2008 at 10:44 am
As I said before, I totally think Katie reads our comments and follows our advices, lol!
November 7th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Tom and Katie have money, so what’s the big deal with they want to spend extra on Suri’s clothes. It’s their money, it’s their kid….I mean what a silly thing to even debate
btw, Suri looked so adorable as always!
November 7th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Suri looks so freakin cute. I just wish Katie would stick a jacket on her every once and a while. It is kind of cold in NYC and Katie is always wearing a jacket.
Other than that, she looks beyond cute!
November 7th, 2008 at 11:22 am
So Nicole it’s wrong for people who are not Suri’s parents to say i told you so, but it’s ok for people to whine about her clothes who aren’t her parents? that makes no sense.
I’m still waiting to see if any of you Tom well basically Katie bashers called NYC SPC since you were so concerned about the Suri “neglect” & “abuse”
Kate you have no idea what they teach Suri, so don’t act like that’s a justification for people attacking Tom & Katie about her wardrobe. All the “reasons” you pointed out sounds just like what Mel B was describing, JEALOUSY!
Others celeb do send alot of money on their kids things/clothes. If you have millions you might as well spend it on yourself & your kids now, before you die.
November 7th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
I personally don’t comment on the price of her clothes out of jealousy…if I had millions, my kids wouldn’t be dressing in expensive designer labels, especially at age 2! My main concern with it is that it could easily go hand in hand with Suri developing an entitled attitude. Not that it 100% does, but that it CAN.
I think that’s really the point, that she’s 2 and has no concept of the label of her clothes…it just seems really excessive. I’d like to see people with lots of money raise their kids in a down to earth fashion.
November 7th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
“I’d like to see people with lots of money raise their kids in a down to earth fashion.”
But just because *YOU* want to see it doesn’t mean that they will *DO* it! It’s NOBODY’S BUSINESS how ANYONE spends their own hard-earned money. That’s just ridiculous!
Suri never looks neglected and abused and she is always with her mom or Tom. You RARELY see her with a nanny or sitter. She is obviously VERY loved and well cared for and that IS ALL THAT MATTERS!
Yes I’m shouting..I wish some of you haters would get it through your heads that TOM and KATIE are her parents not YOU. I’m sure they may have things to say about how you raise your kids too..it goes both ways!
And the person who said it “IS” her business to comment or bash this family because “that’s why we have CPS”, to you I say “WTH?” CPS is NOT for armchair critics who have nothing better to do than bash a persons choices. CPS is for SERIOUS abusive and neglect situations. If you called CPS on TomKat, they’d laugh your butt out of the state!
November 7th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Kerri I couldn’t agree more. It’s not about jealousy it’s about the fact that manafacturers get away with selling clothes at these prices because people will actually put the money out to buy them!!!! Those Juicy Couture clothes probably cost less then $15.00 to make yet the label is what makes the clothes jack up in price. I’d rather see my toddler wearing something affordable (knowing they’ll grow out of it and ruin it) then have them in designer clothing all because of what it cost. The baby has no idea what it’s wearing!! They’d be just as happy in a $5.00 t-shirt with a sesame street character on it! They know no difference! But it’s people who think they have to throw their children in designer clothes for the world to see as if they’re the one’s saying, “look at my child and what we can afford be jealous of me!” You can dress your children in nice clothing and not have to spend a lot of money.
And I’m not just speaking of celebrities because well their money is different then the average americans. But trust me I know people who would rather go in debt over buying their kids name brand clothes then worry about putting money aside for their future! And that not only goes for clothes but also the latest baby gadgets as well. But then again to each their own. Even if the day came that I struck gold…I’ll still be a happy walmart/target shopper!!!!!!!
November 7th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Dear TracyG, I think you are overreacting, this is a comment space where everyone can state her opinion.
We just like to come to the site for entretain or distract ourselves from our normal lives, not to fight against those who have differents points of views.
If we want to say something about Suri´s clothes, hair, shoes, etc… as long as we do it respectfully, we can do it.
I think that all opinions here talk about “what will I do if she were my child”, and it´s ok, that´s what is all about, because the real thing is that she is not, and the opinions expressed here are not going to harm somebody.
The comments sections is designed to say what would you do, or think it´s right as long as saying it with respect.
November 7th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Angie, you’re totally right, Tracy, that was teetering on maniacal. I can’t believe comments are being taken to such an extreme that an outburst like that was considered warranted. I’ve said it before, there will always be people that take it to another level, but the majority of those who have commented on the clothes have been respectful and don’t deserve to be shouted down like that. This is a place for making comments, they don’t have to be good, just respectful. I wish people would remember that before the thought police take over. I don’t mean to insult anyone or inflame anything, but it’s true.
November 7th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
I can’t believe how petty, narrow-minded and JEALOUS these women are… you should care about your own kids, who I doubt you’re raising all that well anyway.
November 7th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
YAY Suri is looking warmer as the days go by! We’re almost there Katie …. though I don’t know about New Year but this week has been surprisingly warm here in Georgia …. so I can understand not having a jacket if that’s the case. I love Suri’s outfit and that umbrella
Just how cute are both hehe.
As far as celebrities carrying their children I personally don’t see anything wrong with it at this age. Suri is only 2 ….. she’s not 10 being carried around. I carried my daughter all the time at that age.
Oh and guess what else we haven’t seen in a while ……
THE BOTTLE! < ----- I just noticed that. Has anyone else noticed this?
November 7th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
OH AND BTW
@ Stedine: “Seriously, if I had money like Tom and Katie, I would have my baby girl in the finest threads from cashmere to silk to the softest Egyptian cotton.”
So would I ….. but unfortunately I can’t afford that so for now I will have to stick to Kohl’s, The Children’s Place and Old Navy
But I would gladly take Suri’s hand-me-downs for my next child …. and hopefully it would be a girl or else I would have the “prettiest” boy around ….. LOL
November 7th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Yes because “resepectful” comments were made regarding how the Cruises should spend money, raise their kids, and especially how Suri will one day grow up to be a brat, have issues, etc.
Just because there was no cursing or hateful talk doesn’t automatically make it a respectful comment. There have been a lot of snide catty comments that come off as looking harmless but they were indeed just uncalled for. Spare us on the “respectful” excuse.
There are people on both sides of this debate that need to back up a bit honestly.
November 7th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Very cute!!!
She always looks cute to me though. People are so critical. She doesnt look freezing in the pics. On the 11th pic on just jared there is a guy walking in the background in a short sleeve tee. Not to mention, she could have a shirt on under the blouse, you never know.
I dont think the price of the clothes matter either. Walmart shoppers probably say the same thing about Gap and most of us here probably think Gap or Gymbo is perfectly reasonable.
November 7th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
J – I semi see your point, but my point at least was about those trying to prevent people from making comments that weren’t positive. You can’t regulate what people think and say, and that’s what some have seemingly been attempting. You know, I don’t always like to read non-positive comments about Suri, but I do know that it’s not for me to decide what other people think, I just respect their right to have an opinion and to share it.
November 7th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
TRACI G and SEANJAY………
YOU GUYS SAID IT PERFECTLY. HATERS=JEALOUSY!
Thank you guys!
November 7th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Totally agree with TracyG. Some of you women sound like the elephant mothers in Dumbo.
November 7th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Why is it always “You are so jealous!” If I had the money Tom and Katie had, I wouldn’t buy the things they do, because I don’t like it. I never comment on “Oh I hate that dress!” or whatever. You can dislike something and not be jealous…if you’re over 14 years of age maturity-wise.
Suri always looks adorable. That doesn’t mean people can’t want to see her in a pair of jeans and T-shirt.
November 7th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Finally….. makes me think maybe Tom and/or Katie have been reading this site… not only did she go to one of the stores that we’ve mentioned (and that store is pricey for me unless I get the clothes used at a thrift store or on ebay, which is how my kids got them) and she’s wearing girly stuff, but dressed appropriately for the weather.
Looks like Katie realized she needed to put her foot down and be firm with Suri.
November 8th, 2008 at 1:05 am
Right on, TracyG! You have no idea how badly I’VE been wanting to make a comment like that on one of these Suri posts. I just didn’t have the guts to actually do it. Thank you for doing to for me!
To elaborate on TracyG’s comments a bit….Try to put yourself in Katie’s and Tom’s shoes for a few minutes. Pretend for a moment that this is your child all these comments are being made about.
How would YOU feel if you saw people making all these negative comments about the way you’re raising YOUR child?
November 8th, 2008 at 1:07 am
I’m also going to reiterate what I said in the post with Suri holding her umbrella and walking:
Also, why is it only Katie who gets harped on for buying her daughter expensive clothes? Violet Affleck often wears clothes from BonPoint, and we’ve seen Shiloh and Zahara Jolie-Pitt in BonPoint as well. Yet no one criticizes their parents for buying them expensive clothes!
November 8th, 2008 at 5:02 am
My God, is it completley beyond comprehension that people aren’t jealous, they just are concerned about a child that seems to be wearing less clothes than the weather would dictate?! Come on people! I haven’t read a single comment that even reflects jealousy, I would actually READ posts before making that kind of comment. Let people have their say, don’t try to make them feel the same way as you, and REALISE that you do not run this place and can not control what is written here. The worst thing about Suri posts these days is the amount of people hating on the comments, not those who are making perfectly acceptable and respectable comments about the child! The only ‘haters’ I see, are those who seem to be patrolling here, waiting to jump on the wagon saying ‘oh, you can’t make those comments, they’re not nice’. No one is insulting the child, they are commenting on what they see in the photos, and given the amount of people who have said they think Suri may have been underdressed, it seems to be a general point, not just one person who wants to inflame something.
Lastly, I’ve said it more than once before, as have others, but please, if you think you won’t be able to accept other’s comments, just don’t read them. If you can’t respect someone else’s point of view, don’t read their point of view. If the comments are not acceptable, those in charge will not post them. It’s not something you need to worry yourself about.
Good day to everyone, best wishes to you and the Holmes/Cruise family.

Well, why can’t people respect the way Katie chooses to dress her daughter? Why can’t people respect that Katie likes to spend a lot of money on her daughter’s wardrobe? Umm! The comments do not come off as personal opinions. IMO, the comments come off judgemental. Some people on her make Katie out to be a BAD MOTHER. I wish I could spend a week will all the PERFECT MOTHERS on this blog and critique their EVERY move with their children.
November 8th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Lala, I agree with a lot that you said, but I don’t think many people are actually making Katie out to be a bad mother, mainly people are just commenting. Everywhere you go, you’ll find people that take their opinions to an extreme but there are people here who seem to think that nobody is allowed to have an opinion on Suri unless it is to say all good things. That’s blatantly ridiculous. People should be allowed to agree or disagree with each other and not have to worry about being shouted at for it. All too often that is happening because some people have personally decided that they only want to see good comments about Suri and other families. It’s not for readers to decide what should be there and what shouldn’t. It would just be nice if people could read the comments and just put forward their own opinions instead of trying to stifle other peoples.
And for the record, I have been a Katie fan since the DC days, and Jerry Maguire is one of my favourite films ever. I am NOT a TomKat hater at all.
November 8th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
CelebrityBabyLover, I agree with you entirely. I think all the negative “concerned” comments are unfair as well. Suri is so cute btw.
November 8th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
I am not maniacal…I am just sick and tired of hearing negative comments about this family. If it’s not one thing, it’s another and the same people who make the negative comments on the Cruise family are the same people DEFENDING the negative comments said about other celebs.
Tom and Katie have done nothing but love each other, love their daughter and try to lead a happy life. They have been constantly bashed, ripped apart to the point where people were speculating things SO ridiculous! Things like “Suri’s an alien” “Suri isn’t their biological child” Suri is Chris Kleins.” “How dare they show her off” ” How dare they NOT show her off” “Katie’s being brainwashed” “Tom’s so weird” “How can Suri be raised normally?” “How dare they spend money on their kid” ETC ETC ETC!!!
When does it end?
I just think if it’s not your kid and you aren’t perfect parents either, then don’t sit on your high horse and lay blame and critiscm on others.
November 9th, 2008 at 4:37 am
Again, Tracy, if you don’t want to read negative comments, a comment forum is probably not the best thing for you to read. If you hear any of the alien/Chris Klein etc comments here, I think you’d be right to complain, but don’t lump that in with comments about her clothes, that’s just trying to sensationalise your point.
We don’t know what goes on behind closed doors, but then no one is commenting on that. I really think it’s just time for people to have a little more openness towards each other on here and accept the disagreements. There’s no need for you to shout down people just because you don’t like what they say. I’m sorry, because I partly do understand what you’re saying, but the point is that you don’t have the right to say someone is not allowed to make a negative comment, and that does extend to however many comments there are.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Tracy, I think Phoebe is right. There aren’t any of those wierd alien comments here – even if people were making them they wouldn’t go through to the comments section. Last week when Suri was wearing short sleeve summer dresses in the cold November weather – people were concerned and had a good argument to be concerned – not hating or whatever…Suri had nothing on her arms, nothing on her legs, and nothing but shoes on her feet w/ no socks. That’s not right, I don’t care who you are, celebrity or not. There’s nothing wrong with pointing that out.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
SH- I TracyG was referring more to the comments people have been making lately about Katie and Tom spending so much money on Suri’s clothes, rather than the comments about Suri not having a coat on.
As for the other comments she listed (e.g. the “alien” comments), I think she was just trying to point out various things that people have complained about on Suri posts over the two plus years it’s been since she was born.
Basically, I think she was trying to point out that the Cruises seem to get picked on for practically EVERYTHING they do. For example, a few weeks ago, people were complaining that Suri’s bangs were too long. Then she got a haircut…so people switched to complaining about her lack of a coat.
Now that she’s at least wearing long sleeves and leggings, people have started complaining about how much money Katie and Tom spend on Suri’s clothes.
Anyway, would somebody please tell me why it is ONLY Katie that gets picked on for buying her daughter expensive clothes, even though other celeb kids (including the Jolie-Pitt girls and Violet Affleck) are sometimes seen wearing expensive clothing as well (Zee, Shi, and Violet have all worn clothing from BonPoint, just like Suri often does, for example)?

Where is Suri’s coat? Katie is wearing a long coat. I have seen numerous pictures of Katie wearing a coat and Suri only having a blanket even last Christmas shopping season.

Too much focus has been made about people saying about the expense of Suri’s clothes. From my perspective, this hasn’t really been about Suri’s clothes in particular, the debate just happened to pop up on one of her posts and it continued. Additionally, it does seem, that the majority of Suri’s clothes are very expensive, where as other kids tend to have a good mixture of value and money in there. Not that I think there’s anything wrong with spending the money, only a hope that children whose wardrobes cost a lot are taught the value of money in some other way. To me, that isn’t a point restricted to Suri, it’s all children.
Just to clarify, I don’t believe the alien comments have ever made it through the filters here, so it’s not fair to make that comparison. I know some bad things have been said about this family, but it hasn’t been on this site, that’s what’s nice about the comment policy.
Anyway, it would just be good if CBB readers would be a little more respectful of each other, as well as of the celebrities in the future!

It’s pathetic that people have to criticize this family for the lifestyle they CAN afford..Unless you are the one spending for them…I don’t see how it becomes your business to say they are spending too much on their child’s clothes…TO EACH HIS OWN…MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS…

Pixiechic, I also think Phoebe is right, it’s been a general debate rather than just about Suri all the time, even though it’s taken place on comments about her. I’m not even sure that people have meant that it’s too much money, only that they hope it doesn’t mean Suri will grow up not understanding the value of money. I also agree that point with Phoebe. And on the ‘to each his own, mind your own business’ shout, reading through the comments on this post alone, it seems that the general consensus is that as long as a comment is respecting of the celebrities and their children, it’s usually okay to make it, whether it is wonderful or a bit critical. I don’t usually comment on here but I wanted to reply to this because I’ve seen people get really personal and not be commenting on the children anymore. I think the previous posters are right, everyone needs to get back to talking about the children, not the right to say what they want, and others shouldn’t be telling them to shut up or telling them what they are allowed to say. I have a feeling this debate WILL happen again, but I hope not.
Suri’s a true beauty, just like her mama!
