Like many little girls, Suri Cruise loves to dress up.

And it seems parents Tom and Katie are happy to indulge the youngster who already has a massive collection of clothes, rumoured to be worth $2million.

The latest addition to the wardrobe is a flamboyant pink flamenco dress that she wore with a new pair red polka dot heels and clip-on dangly earrings.

The three-year-old looked dressed for a party rather than a walk in the park with her doting parents so it’s no wonder she seemed a little shy.

The little girl – already one of the world’s most photographed children – seems destined to always be the centre of attention, and the Cruises seem happy to ignore for now the problems that may bring in later life.

Katie Holmes and Suri were in the Spanish city to visit Tom for the last few days if filming Knight And Day with Cameron Diaz.

He carried her proudly through the park while the youngster carried her toy kangaroo.

Katie, 30, dressed in a tweed jacket and matching shorts with tights and flat ankle boots and her hair scraped back in a ponytail.

She has come under fire for letting her daughter wear heeled shoes, which some child experts claim can harm the development of children’s feet and posture.

But Katie has defended her decision.

‘Like every little girl, she loves my high heels,’ she said.

‘They are actually ballroom dancing shoes for kids. I found them for her and she loves them,’ she said.

Parenting forums disagreed, with many mothers claiming the shoes ‘sexualised’ children and were harmful for their feet.

One parent on Mumsnet wrote: ‘Am I over-reacting or am I right in thinking that ‘celebs’ should not be leading the way in sexualising children?’

Commentators are likely to react in a similar way with Suri’s clip-on earrings.

Tom and Katie are reportedly ready to try for another child.

A friend of the star told OK magazine: ‘Katie no longer feels like she’s just Mrs. Cruise.

‘She’s her own person again. She and Tom have their disagreements, but deep down they love each other very much. That’s what is important.’

Katie Holmes has won a battle with her Scientologist husband Tom Cruise to enroll their daughter Suri in a Catholic pre-school.

The Church of Scientology has always been a bone of contention between the couple and Tom wanted three-year-old Suri to be raised a Scientologist.

But last week Katie enrolled the toddler at the Catholic Charities Yawkey Centre For Early Education And Learning in Boston, Massachusetts.

The family are living in the city while Tom, 47, films his new movie, the spy comedy thriller Wichita. Katie’s mother also flew in for her granddaughter’s first week at the pre-school.

‘Katie has been listening to her parents who are devout Catholics,’ I’m told.

‘She is not convinced by Scientology and has told Tom that she wants Suri to be educated as a Catholic – as she was.

‘They had been having huge problems agreeing on her school. To say they were having arguments is putting it mildly – but Tom came around to the idea in the end.’

Holmes, 30, has not been seen at the Church of Scientology for more than five months.

But Cruise, who was also raised Catholic but converted to Scientology in 1990, remains an ardent follower.

However, the decision does not seem to have upset the couple’s relationship.

In recent days the couple have been pictured laughing and smiling while Holmes takes their daughter to visit Cruise on his film set.

And yesterday they enjoyed a family day out at the local park.

Suri played hide and seek with her parents, slipping behind a tree. Her father than swung her around as she laughed and giggled.
The family, including Katie’s mother, then visited a cafe for cupcakes.
