Let’s talk about prom night, shall we? Fans of Katie Holmes couldn’t help but do a double-take when she sent her daughter, Suri Cruise, off to prom in New York City. The 18-year-old looked like she could’ve been her mom's mini-me, rocking a floral dress that had everyone talking on Tuesday, June 18.
Style Spotlight: Suri's Prom Look
Suri's chic outfit was nothing short of stunning. The floral dress featured intricate brown lace detailing around the bodice, adding an elegant touch. To complete the look, ruffles danced along the hem of her skirt, creating a playful yet sophisticated vibe. In photos captured exclusively by Page Six, Suri wore her hair in a simple, flowy style with loose curls framing her face, giving her a natural yet polished appearance. Her makeup was glam but not over-the-top, perfectly complementing the rest of her ensemble. She paired the outfit with nude heels and a brown clutch purse, tying the whole look together seamlessly.
Suri's Prom Date and Evening Vibes
Suri, the daughter of Katie Holmes, 45, and her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, wasn’t alone for this memorable night. She attended prom with a date who was all about showing her a good time. In photos, he was seen wrapping his hands around her waist and holding onto her elbow as they chatted with friends on the sidewalk, clearly enjoying each other's company. A video shared by Page Six captured Suri hugging some of her pals and laughing as they celebrated the big night in the Big Apple.

Suri's Academic Journey: LaGuardia High School and Beyond
As Suri prepares to graduate from LaGuardia High School in the coming weeks, fans are curious about her future plans. It seems she might have given us a hint in a TikTok video she posted on May 20. In the video, which showcased the colleges the LaGuardia High School class of 2024 would be attending, Suri appeared in the school hallway wearing a Carnegie Mellon sweater. Carnegie Mellon University, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is just a few hours away from Katie’s NYC home. While it’s not immediately clear what major Suri will be pursuing, she’s already made a name for herself as a budding actress in high school. She appeared in several school productions, including an adaptation of Head Over Heels, proving that she has a creative spirit.
Katie Holmes: A Mother's Influence
The Dawson’s Creek alum has always shared a close bond with her daughter, and she’s been nothing but proud watching Suri grow up right before her eyes. Katie previously opened up about how Suri has influenced her own sense of style over the years. “When my child was really small, I was drawn to wearing a lot of dresses,” the Coda actress told The Times on June 8. “You do go through these different phases of motherhood, and they inform what you feel comfortable in and what you don’t. So over the years, my style has changed here and there.”
Katie, who describes her current style as “practical and comfortable,” also revealed that Suri sometimes borrows clothes from her closet. “Sometimes the basics definitely disappear,” the fashionista told the outlet. “But that’s fine.”
Protecting Suri from the Spotlight
While Katie and Suri have been spotted out and about in NYC on numerous occasions, the Ray Donovan alum explained why she has largely kept her daughter out of the public eye. “What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her,” Katie told Glamour in a candid interview published on April 12. “I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She’s an incredible person.”
