Katie Holmes Makes Rare Comment About Daughter Suri While Reflecting on Style Evolution

Katie Holmes says her style changed after she became a mom.

The Batman Begins star reflected on her fashion evolution that have taken place since welcoming daughter Suri Cruise, 18, with now-ex-husband Tom Cruise.

Asked if motherhood changed her sense of style, Katie told the U.K. newspaper The Times in an interview published June 8, "I feel like, in some ways, yes."

The 45-year-old continued, "When my child was really small, I was drawn to wearing a lot of dresses. 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 said that these days, she likes vintage clothing items. "Living in New York City, I have to have things that are practical and comfortable," she added. "Usually I'm in ballet flats, sneakers, baggy jeans and a T-shirt."

And while the Dawson's Creek alum has saved several clothing items to pass onto her only child, she says Suri "has her own sense of style and her own expressions."

That's not to say that there's no shopping in Mom's wardrobe. "Sometimes the basics definitely disappear," she added. "But that's fine."

The actress' comments marked a rare instance in which she spoke to the press about Suri, who has kept out of the spotlight despite being a paparazzi favorite since she was a child.

"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 an interview published in April. "I'm very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She's an incredible person."

Suri, who turned 18 in April, recently made a surprise appearance in a high school classmate's TikTok, taking part in a group reveal of where she and her fellow students plan to attend college.
