I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SURI'S PARENTS ARE ALLOWING HER TO WEAR ** HIGH HEELS **,. IT IS SO INSANE ON THEIR PART.
A LITTLE GIRL LIKE THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO WEAR SNEAKERS, SANDALS, AND FLATS LIKE ANYOTHER CHILDREN. BY WEARING THOSE HIGH HEELS (AT HER AGE), WE DO HOPE SHE WILL NOT HAVE BUNIONS AND BACK PROBLEMS. AS FAR AS THE STARBUCKS COFFEE, I WILL KEEP MY MOUTH ON THAT. BUT SHE SEES EVERYDAY THAT HER MOM **MUST PURCHASE** A STARBUCKS COFFEE AND PROBABLY HAD A SIP OF HER MOM'S COFFEE AND LIKED IT.. HOPEFULLY, ITS NOT COFFEE (AGAIN AT HER AGE).

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ..

I looked at the photos and I watched the video. I saw people milling about all around the Cruise family in all manner of dress from heavy winter coats to shirtsleeves, carrying jackets... many in hooded sweatshirts. This child, while being carried, was wrapped in a blanket, and while walking is moving right along... exerting far more energy than her adult counterparts to keep up their pace... which probably keeps her warmer.

Clearly, this family knows that they are being watched and that they will be seen, photographed, exploited, and judged. Katie's scarf is not meant for warmth... it's a fashion accessory. Suri's clothing too, a fashion statement. Personally, I'm of the belief that the parents should be in charge and should insist that their 3-year old dress appropriately for the weather. However, if they stepped out with a denim and sweatshirt clad 3-year old throwing a tantrum because she really wanted to wear her favorite little pink sundress and dancing shoes... well, let's face it... we'd have a problem with that too!

We tend to be very intolerant of anything we deem inappropriate, but the vast array of opinions expressed in comments here would indicate that we all have a different opinion about what INAPPROPRIATE is. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes do not lead normal lives... they are not like the rest of us... they are celebrities... they do live in the public eye... everything they say and do is examined under a microscope. What a huge stressor that is on any family! The media attention lavished upon poor Suri and the fact that we as the public eat up every opportunity to catch a glimpse, cannot possibly be healthy for her. If she is screwed up (now or in the future), perhaps we should blame ourselves and not her parents!

I bet they'd give anything to be able to blend into the woodwork from time to time. I bet they'd like to take their daughter to the playground to enjoy a sandbox, a swingset, a merry-go-round, or a slide... to play with other 2, 3, and 4-year olds without a million cameras and cell phones snapping pictures. I bet they'd like to be able to go to McDonald's and buy her a Happy Meal or Pizza Hut to enjoy a greasy slice of pepperoni and sausage pizza... but then we'd all complain how they're making their little girl fat and allowing her to choose junk food.

We can let our kids go out for a walk without a jacket (hoping they'll get cold and it will teach them a lesson about dressing appropriately), but Tom and Katie don't have that luxury. They have the life they have and they're trying to make the most of it. They appear to be very gracious amid the invasion into their family outing. Perhaps we should simply all back off a bit!

There is a woman in the back ground wearing flip flops and her parents don't have jackets on and it's sunny. Do you people have children? They don't like coats and pneumonia is not caused by being a little chilly! Are you really all so perfect that you have time to judge these people you don't even know rather than improving on yourselves!!!!

PS My three year old loves the hot chocolate form Starbucks which is just $1 and they make sure it isn't too hot for the little ones. How terrible!

1. little girls are always wearing mommy's high heels.

2. starbucks sells many other beverages.

3. maybe the child just doesn't need as many layers. there are people who really like the cooler temps.

4. mom had a blanket in case the child needed/wanted to be covered up.

you do realize starbucks sells beverages other than coffee right? it could have been a choc/vanilla drink. geez people.

This is pretty funny... Ohhhh, look at Tom's shoes, too... Did you get a load of his heels as well? He doesn't look good in plaid. The nerve of him wearing that when we all know plaid is not his BEST look. C'mon folks, really.

The fact that everyone in the photo (even those surrounding the family) are wearing winter clothes tells you something about how cold it is in Boston at this time of year. If they weren't hollywood folks everyone would forget about the heels and starbucks cup and take a double take at the kid not having enough layers on. It doesn't seem rational and looks out of place like someone wearing a ski jacket in the bahamas when everyone else is dressed for summer. The difference between the two is a possible case of pneumonia.

Those shoes, (with the exception of a 15 minute dress up time occasionally) are a orthopedic surgeon's dream. Suri will be paying someone to fix her spine / discs sooner than later. But...that's the parent's choice!

PUT A COAT ON THAT CHILD YOU FU-CING IDIOT PARENTS. WHY IS SHE WEARING A SUNDRESS??????????????

Let that child be what it wants to be. Who the hell are we to advice or question her parents. Get a life guys!

I am so tired of ignorant, judgmental morons constantly feeding off of negative publicity and creating it for Tom Cruise and his family. For Heaven's sake, leave Suri alone. Starbuck's serves hot chocolate, water, apple juice or cider, and probably anything else Mr. Cruise might choose for his daughter. Mrs. Cruise is carrying a lovely, ample blanket for her daughter; it is NOT a baby blanket. Mr. Cruise is carrying Suri's sweater. You call those heels? Get a grip, people. Those are not heels. Suri might enjoy the feel of a soft blanket compared to the tight feel of a smothering little sweater. This is a loving family. That we get to even view them is such a delight. Negative thinkers and naysayers, don't even look, just crawl off into your boring selves, and leave the rest of us who enjoy the Cruise family alone.

Tom and Katie are way past their prime, not fresh talent and have abandoned all rational parenting mentors. Apparently Scientology advises them to exploit their daughter for attention (all photo ops are obviously planned), let her behave as she wants without discipline (spoiled) and advocate poor clothing choices (child abuse). And still the question as to if she is Really Tom's sperm.
I find it appalling that shoe manufacturers would even make a tiny high heel, let alone promote muscle damage in a young child.
This is inappropriate attention for the wrong reasons and Suri is well on her way to becoming a young Drew Barrymore at an earlier age.

I see nothing wrong with what little Suri is wearing and every little girl wear's high heals didn't we all when we were little? People need to mind there own business and stop worrying about other people's. I think little Suri looks so cute.

Everyone is too young to remember James Mason's daughter Portland and how she was raised. Looks like the Cruises have read the biography... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/portland-mason-730505.html

Suri's shoes are not "playing dress up" shoes. Those are very expensive real high heels. Dress up is one thing, but real heels on a little girl? She's going to screw up her back or her feet or both. Heels are not good for anyone especially a growing child.That's my unsolicited opinion of what is wrong with her shoes.

Even if Tom is carrying her sweater, the point is, her parents are dressed for a cool day, Suri should be dressed in a equivalent outfit. Dresses are fine, but she needs tights and a jacket. Katie is even wearing fingerless gloves and Suri is sleeveless? Methinks the 3 year old might be the one wielding the power in this picture.

How can you expect Suri to wear shoes without heels, when both of her parents wear them?

since when does a starbucks cup HAVE to contain coffee?!

These are not the little plastic high heels they sell for little girls to play dress-up. These are apparently heels sold to mothers who are willing to pay the price for their baby girls to dress like grownup women. What a pity! Children should wear children's clothes, not clothes and shoes designed to be worn by adults. Let her be a child, for pete's sake, she will grow up soon enough! I feel sorry for her. She will grow up with psychological problems to be sure.

Hey, negative, judging, unobservant people. Tom is holding Suri's sweater... She probably started out wearing it then, like many children, got overly warm and wanted to take it off. Calling her outfit a "spectacle" borders on absurd. That is a very nice dress, not trashy or unduly revealing, and tons of little girls despise/won't wear tights. And, yes, the Starbucks cup could be holding anything, nutritious or not. Wondering if Suri has Asperger's is about as useful as speculating about what her future SAT scores might be. Ridiculous, people. Most commenters sound like they have such tiny little, judgemental minds and it is hilarious that people who are outraged about her outfit don't notice Tom holding her extra layer/sweater. Ps. That is a teensy little heel on her shoe, okay, maybe not the most ergonomic shoes ever, but little girls are prone to like girly clothing and accessories and such.

Realmente, que frio que essa menina deve estar passando. Coitadinha!

Who's the girl with sunglasses peeking over bald security guard
shoulder? Looks like she could be related.

First of all, the coffee cup could have had anything in it. Starbucks caters to young children. Hot chocolate, cider, etc.... And, I have a small daughter that always wants to wear little heels outside. What I don't understand is how this child is walking down the streets of Boston in late October with no jacket or stockings. Mean while Tom and Katie have jackets and boots! Katie is even sporting a scarf. I can tell by the people in the background, wearing hats and scarfs, that this is a cold day. Truly the only alarming part of that story. The other stuff is just little girl stuff.

The cup is empty in these pictures. You can tell by the way it's tipped. Plus anyone who has a small child would know you cannot trust a 4 year old with an open drink while carrying them walking down the street without wearing the drink yourself. I did also wonder about the outfits like others mentioned just because Tom and Katie are both warmly dressed, unlike Suri. Some children are more warm-blooded but they should have still covered her up more. I'm in Chicago and I'd imagine Boston is just as cold as it is here - definitely long sleeves and pants weather.

Tom Cruise looks beautiful.

To Cassie, Please, if you actually believe that allowing your 3 year old to wear a dress so thin and short with womanly high heels out in public and not in the privacy of your own home is ok, then please tell me where you live. Because that outfit is not for public consumption. It is a spectacle. How about we give our children attention for being intelligent. Being good artists, winning a basball game. Not for wearing a see thru mid thigh dress (you can see the child's belly button poking out for God's sake) with bloody high heels!!!!! And I bet she's told constantly how beautiful she is. So sad. It is inappropriate for a toddler, who should be dressed comfortably and modestly. There is nothing beautiful about a half naked child wobbling down the street in heels while freezing cold!! Her Father was holding her sweater, why didn't he make her put it on? The person who said this was vulgar is spot on! The Cruise's should be ashamed for courting this type of attention from the public of their 3 year old child looking like a 20 year old. It is most definately vulgar.

I hope I don't get attacked for saying this but it begs to be asked. Is the reason we see Suri Cruise rarely dressed warmly for the cold temperatures because she has some form of autism or asperger's? It would definately explain why she never wears a coat or socks or tights because it has been studied that it makes autistic people feel claustraphobic. They don't like wearing anything close to their skin, it upsets them. Even in their hair. Suri also still drinks out of a bottle, 2 years after she should have stopped. There was a recent photo of her with a newborn style bottle in her mouth while getting out of a car. It seems like her parents certainly love and adore her. So I can't imagine them being so neglectful by letting her dress like this in Boston, one of the coldest cities in our country. It must be something much more than that. It would explain why they have a blanket nearby all the time. It may be a substitute for a coat because it's cozy and doesn't feel heavy. Now if it isn't medical, and they're allowing her to make potentially dangerous safety decisions for herself, then I don't even know what to say. Because that is absolutely bananas. But that's just my opinion, which everyone is entitled to.

that child is never wearing a jacket like normal people!!!!WTF

Suri like high heels and dresses, little Shiloh likes her slacks and boy hats. After while you will be calling her a lesbian. You people are crazy!!! They are KIDS. Kids play dressup, they usually come into their own when they are a teen.

I played dress up when I was a kid, I'm just fine. People, stop making a big deal out of this. To the person that called her a sex object......SHUT UP. If you see sex in a 4 year old, you must be SICK. Where do you live so I can keep my kids away from you.

A vulgar staged photo op?
You're a tard. These people can't even walk out of their house without being trailed by photographers. You think just because the headline says "Suri" that the Cruises are pimping out their child by going shopping? You need to get a reality check and turn that flawed judgement on yourself. It won't be pretty.

Her parents are always dressed in long sleeves and pants yet this child is walking around New England in October in a sleeveless dress that goes up to her mid thigh? Isn't the rule of thumb dress your child in one more layer then the parent? She's probably drinking hot chocolate and the footwear is not something I would put on my child but she is always underdressed. October in Boston is COLD.

A vulgar, staged photo op. Pimp out the child.

Suri is cute and seems well adjusted . I Love Kate and Tom has grown on me also, Starbucks sells cider ,hot coco and you can even just get a cup of water, or like someone else suggested it may also just be an empty cup. Little girls play dress up and I don't see any high heels on this child. Suri is sweet everyone just need to LEAVE HER ALONE

I just had starbucks last week. I am 38 and pregnant and Starbucks serves steamed milk too in a Starbucks cup!

I see nothing wrong or innapriopriate, sipping coffee, I was born and raised in a latin american country, in which drinking coffee has no age, I would say than even younger than Suri Cruise, we drink coffee.
I see no biggie, with Suri drinking coffee. LIVE AND LET LIVE PEOPLE!

since when did a counter person at a store fountain become "a barista?" Of all the pretentious job titles this one ranks right up there at the top.

P.S. Many Psychologists would agree that letting a child wear whatever they want - be it a superman outfit or cowboy boots or pretty tutus --as long as it is not indecent - is actually healthy. My daughter thought she was the prettiest thing in her punky brewster type outfits. And who am I to argue with a 3 year olds taste. As long as she kept herself warm (and every kids tolerates cold differently) - and wasn't obsene, she was fine. And she is extremelt well adjusted.... she also drinks starbucks cocoa!

Starbucks sells cider and cocoa. And EVERY little kid parades around in outfits - my son used to wear cowboy boots with a fireman's jacket EVERYWHERE! and my daughter wore more pretty heels when she was young than she does now! LEAVE THEM ALONE!! And yes - what is wrong with a blanket fr a 3 year old??? Seriously? If you have paprazzi following you I suspect you would always have a blanket too!

thier is alot of hate in these comments. "only babies have blankets" "sicko kid with sicko parents". Really? Leave them alone. She has a blanket...and is holding a starbucks coffee. its probably cider...or her mom's empty coffee cup. because 3 years olds never like to hold their parents stuff? This is a celebrity blog not the washington post.

Starbucks does have kid's cocoa. And those really aren't heels. From the title, I thought she was wearing stilleto's or something.

Sometimes you have to save kids from themselves. When it is cold outside, you have to just fight with your 3 year old to wear weather-appropriate clothes.

Oh how great! despite Her parent celebrity she seem quiet comfortable in her world.Normal little girl dressing like Mommy!She is a very normal little girl. thumbs up to Tom and Katie for keeping it real! Oh by the way Starbucks sells MORE then Coffee.. HOT CHOCOLATE...I thought Tom and Katie was very gracious for being so friendly to ALL the looky-lous.As for the blanket if I had alot of strangers yelling my name I want may blanket to! STRANGER DANGER... HELLO

Leave the little girl and her parents alone.
Like others have said I highly doubt she's drinking coffee and sometimes you can't get kids to wear what you want no matter what you do. She probably needs the blankie for security...I bet all the photogs scare the poor little thing. How would every one of you like to grow up in a fishbowl??

What a sick scene......from high heels to blanket.
This is going to be one sicko kid with sicko parents.

Leave the little girl alone. I remember walking to school one time in first grade just steaming mad because my mother made me wear a sweater and I was *not* cold! Kids can tell if they're too cold, really. And little girls like to dress up, too. Looks to me like she is a healthy, happy, well-adjusted little girl, and cute as a button. Nobody is a perfect parent, but these two look like they are doing just fine. Leave them alone already.

I have a feeling the people who write these stories don't have kids.

1. Maybe Suri doesn't like jackets. It happens. They have a blanket for her. It keeps her warm. Who cares.

2. What could be in the cup: apple juice, that tea/lemonade thing, chocolate milk, hot chocolate....one of those milk steamers they sell.

3. The heels: Odd, yes. But heck, that child never walks anyway. For all we know, Katie has another pair of shoes in her bag.

Kids are weird. Plain and simple. It doesn't matter if your mom and dad are famous...they are weird. They do odd things. She's a little girl...in a few months I'm sure she'll be onto something else.

Give the family a freaking break.

Question: Does Tom Cruise ever touch Suri? It seems that every photo of the happy family shows only Katie taking care of her. Probably just a paparazzi thing...

I'm just saying, from this picture it looks like it's pretty cold out. Everyone is wearing coats and sweaters yet Suri has on a flimsy dress while they are carrying a blanket.

What a darling little girl Suri is! My grandone is a little older and she's a clothes horse, too. Maybe she's a clothes pony! Not long back we went grocery shopping together and decided to wear white gloves. We were stunning. Letting little girls play dress up is a wonderful thing. My daughter (the grand's mom) would have none of it. So I think the grand is God's way of rewarding me for not killing my girl when she was 16!

Seriously! Suri is probably drinking hot cocoa or apple juice! What little girl doesn't love to wear her "fancy" little play shoes when she goes out?? My daughter used to wear them & a tutu over all of her outfits! She's also loves her Starbucks too! I always picked up a little cocoa or juice at Starbucks too! Who cares about her cute fuzzy blanket! My daughter had one until she was 4! She's a very well adjusted young lady who is a talented violinist, pianist, student, and cheerleader! :-)
