Suri Cruise Wears Heels - Innocent Dress Up or Inappropriate?

Suri Cruise was spotted wearing little silver heels and a matching sparkly purse while shopping in Boston yesterday with mom Katie Holmes.

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.

"On the other hand, it's not a good idea to encourage a child this young to see herself as a young woman," Stiffelman adds.

"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.

It's not like she's wearing 6 inch stilettos and cherry red lips. And i doubt anybody is forcing her to do this.

For all you idiots that voted "yes it's called dress up" My kids can do that around in my house but sending them out in to the big world looking like I'm trying to force them to grow up?? What we have hear is another budding Linsey Lohan or Brittney Spears or certainly another Miley (ho) Cyrus!!! I'm surprised with old Tom and his nutcase religeous beliefs he let her out of the house?? But then again nobody said they ever could possibly good parents anyway!!!! Let her be a kid!!! It won't last long enough anyway!!!!

If you think this lil girl looks grown up,you should be in prison,or shot preferrably, cause you're obviously a predator. My daughter must have gotten 15 or so of these dress up kits for Christmas from family members. I never cared for them.but she loved them and i let her wear them wherever we were going as long as it wasn't a formal situation. The writer of this article has some major issues.

My 3 great- nieces; ages 5, 3 1/2, and 2, play dress up, wear heels, wear a little make-up, and have their hair done by my 16 yr. old niece all the time. They know the difference between wearing these things when playing as opposed to what they wear when they go to church. As for their small heeled shoes....well they're just taking after their Aunts and their mother(who grew up wearing, and walking in our Big High heels)...and there's nothing wrong with that.

I am a grandmother and I have observed Suri in hundreds of photos in different magazines and on the Internet and in only one was there a hint of a smile. I have wondered if she ever smiles. She just seems to have a blank look on her face all the time. Makes me wonder what's wrong!

She looks like a little kid who likes pretty clothes which would include anything sparkling (shoes, and purse pictured). What's the big deal? Why stifle her creativity if she is the one who possibly chose the outfit. I can recall when my daughter was 2, she wanted to wear these boots which were her favorite. What's wrong with that? Well for one thing it was mid-June. I could have pulled the parental control thing and forced her to take them off but I let her wear them. It wasn't life altering. So she had on winter boots in June. She was happy. Big whoop. Both children and parents will face enough battles over time, why make such a big deal over nothing. Choose your battles wisely. I've seen kids in public with their dress up hats and clothes and I smile at them because they usually are proud of the attention. If it gives them the confidence to wear a "ridiculous" outfit then so be it! There are enough little girls out there suffering from low self-esteem.
