Suri Cruise shows off New York style following name change

Reportedly estranged from her father since childhood, Tom Cruise's daughter has dropped his surname.

Suri Cruise is proudly embracing her new identity.

On Tuesday, May 14, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's daughter was spotted in New York sporting a relaxed ensemble, donning loose-fitting sweatpants and a t-shirt.

In the first pictures following the announcement of her new name, Suri strongly resembled her mother, sporting long, brown hair left down and appearing deeply contemplative.

She confidently walked through the bustling streets of New York City, her denim coat casually hanging from her arm as she seemed engrossed in music playing through her headphones.

Her excursion follows shortly after the disclosure that Suri has decided to forgo her surname, at least in the realm of performance.

The casting notice for Suri’s most recent stage production, "Head Over Heels," disclosed that the 18-year-old has taken on her mother's middle name and is credited as Suri Noelle.

It's understandable that Suri is aligning more with her mother's identity, considering reports of her estrangement from her renowned father since childhood.

Suri's recent theatrical performance wasn't her first time in the spotlight.

According to Page Six, she contributed her singing talents to two of her mother's films, the 2022 romantic drama "Alone Together" and "Rare Objects."

Holmes has described her only child as "very, very talented."

In a 2022 interview with InStyle, she stated, "I love her so much. My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality. To make sure she is 100 per cent herself and strong, confident, and able. And to know it."

Suri is anticipated to begin college in the autumn, although she has not disclosed publicly where or what she will study.
