AceShowbiz - Suri Cruise, 18, celebrated her graduation from LaGuardia High School on Friday, June 21, with her mother, Katie Holmes, proudly by her side. The joyous occasion marked the end of her high school journey and the beginning of a new chapter at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Suri plans to study design.
On graduation day, Suri was a picture of happiness as she posed for photos outside a brick building before heading into the United Palace Theatre in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood.
She donned a white dress layered with a striking red graduation robe and paired with white sandals embellished with flowers. Katie Holmes complemented her daughter in a matching yellow set consisting of pleated pants and a long-sleeve collared shirt. Her famous father, Tom Cruise, was nowhere in sight.
The celebration was a family affair, though notably absent was Suri's father, Tom Cruise, with whom she has been estranged for most of her life. Despite his absence, the bond between Suri and her mother appeared stronger than ever as they shared heartfelt moments, snapping photos and hugging friends.
The young graduate had recently dropped her father's last name from her graduation pamphlet, opting instead to go by "Suri Noelle," reflecting her middle name and distancing herself from her father's public persona.
The festivities didn't end there. Ahead of her graduation, Suri attended her senior prom on Manhattan's Upper West Side. She stunned in a floral-patterned gown with a bustier top and maroon piping, accessorizing with a pink rose corsage, gold heels, and a black clutch. Her prom date, revealed to be Toby Cohen, matched her elegance in a navy blue suit, creating a stylish pair as they posed for photos together.
The evening was filled with excitement and the promise of new beginnings. Holmes, who has had sole custody of Suri since splitting from Tom Cruise in 2012, has seen her daughter grow into a young woman with her own sense of style and independence. In an interview, Holmes praised Suri for her unique fashion choices, highlighting the bond the two share as they navigate life together in New York City.
As Suri prepares to attend Carnegie Mellon University this fall, majoring in fashion, her journey from LaGuardia High School to college symbolizes the end of one chapter and the start of another exciting adventure. With her supportive mom by her side and her future looking bright, Suri is all set to shine in her new academic and creative endeavors.
