We all know Suri Cruise is a trendsetter. She was rocking monochromatic styles before Brad Pitt could even dye his newsboy cap. She was doing daytime princess gowns before Blake Lively. Suri knows instinctively when an ensemble will be ruined by a bulky coat. Suri knows it’s never to early to learn how to walk in pumps. She also isn’t afraid of some bright pink lipstick, which is genius - she lets all women know that pink is back, in a big way. As is ice cream. And Suri will bring back the hair-in-the-face Veronica Lake look if it kills her.

So, what’s in style this week for our little trendsetter? Get out your pencils, ladies! Suri has declared silver leggings paired with knee-length dresses, with some comfortable, lady-like flats to be the order of the day. Accessories? A jaunty umbrella and a tantrum, of course.

If you happen to be stuck in a wardrobe rut, look to Suri Cruise for answers.

Today, Suri teaches us how to take one look from daytime to night.

Take this hot pink dress, purple sweater and metallic silver leggings. Sure it works for flying in your helicopter from Boston to New York City (did we mention how relatable Suri is?), but say you want to quickly dress it up for a fancy dinner and night out on the town. How would you do that?

Let Suri show you how!

Obviously, the first thing to do is wear shoes. Maybe even a pair of fancier flats that have little bows on the back—just not heels because that really upsets people.

After that, Suri traded in the comfy purple sweater for a gray and hot pink number that really ties everything together better.

Finally, do not forget something a little showy like a Disney princess umbrella. Who cares if there’s no sun and it’s not raining—it’s always good to have something that helps you stand out from the crowd.

And that’s the Suri Cruise method to make an easy transition from daytime officewear to dinner with a client.

Too cute. Suri and Katie were coming back to New York after a brief visit with Tom in Boston. Katie had to come back to New York, where Katie was due at The Romantics set, where she seems to have spent some time filming scenes with Anna Paquin. I’m sure Tom is going to miss his girls while they’re away!
