Suri Cruise was spotted enjoying the sun in New York City on Saturday afternoon as she prepares to head off to college in the fall.
The 18-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise is reportedly moving into the dorms of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in a week.
On Saturday, Suri looked relaxed as she walked down the sidewalk with a black bag over her shoulder.
She wore a blue tank top paired with cut-off black sweatpants with a white drawstring.
Suri, who also went grocery shopping on Friday, went makeup-free for her solo outing.

Suri enjoyed some summer sun while waiting to board the metro.
She bore a striking resemblance to her mother, actress Katie, with whom she has lived in New York since 2012.
Suri graduated earlier this summer from New York’s renowned LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.
It is said that her father was no longer in her life in recent years, except financially, yet she still looked remarkably like him.
The school, which is said to have been the inspiration for the film Fame, has produced a number of celebrities over the years.
Notable former members include Al Pacino and Liza Minnelli, Jennifer Aniston and Adrien Brody, and new faces include Ansel Elgort and Timothee Chalamet.
Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks and Awkwafina all attended LaGuardia High School, as did Madonna’s eldest daughter Lourdes Leon.

Now that she has graduated from high school, Suri is headed to the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University, where she is reportedly “leaning” toward fashion.
“She’s a smart girl and she’s turning into a very intelligent, mature young woman,” an insider recently revealed to DailyMail.com. “She’s got a close-knit group of loyal friends and she knows exactly where she’s coming from.”
Suri’s mother, on the other hand, is said to be “overwhelmed” by the prospect of Suri going to Pittsburgh to study. “Katie is very proud of her, but also extremely overprotective,” a source said.
Katie, who rose to fame on the teen series Dawson’s Creek, started dating Tom in 2005 and got engaged to him after seven weeks.
Their Scientologist wedding took place at the Castello Orsini-Odescalchi in Bracciano in November 2006, seven months after Suri was born.
Katie filed for divorce in 2012, which was finalized just 10 days later. Katie retained primary residence over Suri, while Tom was granted visitation rights through People.
Ron Miscavige, the father of Scientology leader David Miscavige, told the MailOnline in 2016 that Katie’s reservations about Scientology – including the effect it might have on Suri – contributed to her decision to leave Tom.

The Top Gun Maverick star reportedly paid Katie $400,000 a year until Suri’s 18th birthday and is now going to send money for her college tuition.
Tom has not been photographed with his daughter in eleven years and in 2018 it was claimed that he had created distance between him and Suri.
“Everyone can see his child if they want to,” an insider told US Weekly. “He chooses not to because she’s not a Scientologist.”
