Is the red lipstick too much? Or is it all in good dress-up fun?

Hey, it’s Fashion Week in New York. So, we really aren’t shocked to see Little Miss Cruise out and about in the Big Apple in her cute navy frock, complete with bold accessories (even she knows pops of color and animal prints are IN this season), a faux-pearl-handled bag and… wait a minute, is that red lipstick she is wearing?!

Perhaps sassy Suri was playing dress-up before coming out with her painted smile. And we aren’t surprised that mom and dad let her go out wearing lipstick. As daddy Tom Cruise told Oprah in a 2010 interview, when discussing Suri’s sartorial interests: “She likes to dress herself and wears whatever she wants to wear… I’m not gonna tell her different.”
