Suri Cruise photographed for first time after her new name is revealed

Suri Cruise is wearing her new identity with pride. The daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise stepped out in New York on Tuesday, May 14, looking casual in a pair of baggy, sweatpants and a t-shirt.

In the first photos since her new name was revealed, Suri was the spitting image of her mom with her long, brunette locks worn loose and appearing lost in thought.

She strode through the streets of the Big Apple with her denim coat draped over her arm and engrossed in what was pumping through her headphones.

Her outing comes days after it was revealed that Suri has dropped her last name - at least when it comes to performing.

Suri gave a subtle yet noticeable statement about her identity during a performance of Head Over Heels in New York in early May.

If she's carving out a career in the entertainment industry too, a stage name is far from uncommon.
