Suri Cruise didn’t want to wait to show her mom Katie Holmes some love.
The 18-year-old recently dropped the surname she inherited from dad Tom Cruise at her high school graduation ceremony, and instead chose to go by “Suri Noelle” for the milestone.
And as it turns out, the choice of the name Noelle was a particularly sweet one: it’s her mother’s middle name.
Indeed, the choice to adopt Katie’s middle name is just one example in a long line that proves how close Suri and the Dawson’s Creek alum really are.
After all, Katie was at her daughter’s side for her high school graduation. For the June 21 ceremony, the 45-year-old looked classically chic in a monochromatic beige outfit, complete with matching trousers and collared sweater. She accessorized the look with silver heels and brown sunglasses.
Suri, meanwhile, donned a white, mid-length dress under her red cap and gown. The ensemble was topped off by a white stole emblazoned with the words “Vocals” and “Music.”
