Suri Cruise was spotted enjoying the sunshine in New York City on Saturday afternoon — as she prepares to head off to college in the fall.
The daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, 18, is reportedly just one week away from moving to the dorms at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
On Saturday, Suri looked relaxed as she made her way down the sidewalk with a black tote bag over one shoulder.
She rocked a blue tank top styled with cutoff black sweatpants with a white drawstring.
Suri — who also ran errands on Friday — appeared makeup-free for her solo outing.
The teenager’s brunette hair was worn down and she slipped on colorful sneakers to complete her low-key outfit.
Suri enjoyed a brief reprieve from the summer sun while waiting to board the subway.
She looked like the spitting image of her actress mom Katie, who she’s lived with in NYC since 2012.
Suri graduated from New York’s famous LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts earlier in the summer.
Her father is said to have been absent from her life in recent years, except financially, but her physical resemblance to him was still strikingly clear.
The school, which was said to have inspired the movie Fame, has churned out a formidable array of celebrities over the years.
Notable alumni range from Al Pacino and Liza Minnelli to Jennifer Aniston and Adrien Brody to newer faces like Ansel Elgort and Timothee Chalamet.
Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks and Awkwafina all attended LaGuardia High School, as did Madonna’s eldest daughter Lourdes Leon.
Having graduated high school, Suri will now attend the prestigious college Carnegie Mellon, where she is said to be ‘leaning towards’ studying fashion.
‘She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman,’ an insider recently revealed to DailyMail.com. ‘She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from.’
Suri’s mother on the other hand is said to be ‘overwhelmed’ at the prospect of Suri going off to Pittsburgh for college. ‘Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective,’ a source shared.
Katie, who shot to fame on the teen drama Dawson’s Creek, started dating Tom in 2005 and got engaged to him seven weeks into the relationship.
Their Scientologist wedding was held at the Castello Orsini-Odescalchi in Bracciano in November 2006, seven months after Suri was born.
Katie filed in 2012 for a divorce that was finalized just 10 days later, with Katie retaining primary custody of Suri while Tom was granted visitation, via People.
Ron Miscavige, father of Scientology leader David Miscavige, told the MailOnline in 2016 that Katie’s misgivings about Scientology – including the effect it could have on Suri – contributed to her decision to leave Tom.
The Top Gun Maverick star reportedly paid Katie $400,000 a year until Suri’s 18th birthday, and will now send money for her college fees.
Tom has not been pictured with his daughter in 11 years, and in 2018 it was alleged that he had created distance between himself and Suri.
‘Every person is allowed to see their child if they wanted to,’ an insider told US Weekly ‘He chooses not to because she is not a Scientologist.’
