# Toddlers in Heels Katie Holmes Dresses Daughter Suri Cruise in High Heels By Bianca | Published 2009-12-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suri-cruise-in-high-heels References: [telegraph](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/hilaryalexander/6700854/Suri-Cruise-in-high-heels.html) When we first featured [high heels for babies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wander-shoe), I rolled my eyes and thought, “Yeah right, no one would buy those.” Well, Katie Holmes sure proved me wrong. She bought kiddie [kitten heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vicki-collection) for her daughter -- she says they're ballroom dancing shoes. Of course, with something as controversial as this, there’s been quite a fuss in the media, but so far Katie’s response to the buzz around Suri Cruise in high heels has been pretty relaxed. “She, like every little girl – she loves my high heels.” Every parent has to make his or her own choices, but I hope Katie Homes books her little girl a [toddler pedicure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olive-june1), because those pictures of Suri Cruise in high heels already hint that the 3-year-old (yes, three!!) has red feet, and some sites are even saying she’s forming bunions.
