Suri Cruise Wears Heels - Innocent Dress Up or Inappropriate?

The two spent the day out and about, while Tom Cruise was in town shooting "Wichita."
We aren't sure if Suri was playing dress up with some new gear or if the mature footwear was part of her actual outfit for a stroll around the city -- we also spied the three-year-old wearing Keds the same day.
The previous day, Suri appeared to be wearing lipstick (or was her bright pink pout the result of a popsicle?).
So, what do you think: Little girl having fun with accessories or little girl looking a bit too mature for her age?
"It's perfectly normal for a little girl Suri's age to play dress up," says Susan Stiffelman, Family Therapist and ParentDish contributor.
"We're already seeing nine and 10-year-olds who won't go to 4th grade without blush and eye shadow."
Whether you're for or against Suri's shoes, it wouldn't be the first time a famous toddler raised eyebrows. Remember Angelina Jolie's son Maddox and his mohawk? Or Gwen Stefani's son Kingston with bleached hair?

Just because you didn't enjoy dress up...doesn't mean that Suri doesn't. My sister played dress up thousands of times, and she's a very successful woman with a healthy sense of empowerment. If you think that encouraging your daughter to act like a lady is dangerous, than surely, encouraging your daughter to act like a boy is just as harmful....children are smarter than you think, tomboy or princess....it's all individuality. I doubt you were forced, or otherwise coerced to don jeans and throw a ball. You did so, because you enjoyed it.
