So either Suri Cruise is a very shy little girl or her mother Katie Holmes forgot to pack her swimsuit.
The little girl was snapped frolicking in the sea at Miami Beach with her mum fully-clothed in a multi-coloured dress.

Katie, on the other hand, was clad in more suitable beach wear in a burgundy bikini and pink short.
The pair looked like they were having a great time together as they played together in the surf.

The pair were enjoying some quality time together in the Florida city where Daddy Tom Cruise, 48 , is filming his new movie, Rock of Ages.
Cruise is undergoing an amazing transformation to play long-haired, tattooed rocker Stacee Jaxx in the film, which is due for release next year.

It’s a very different role for Tom, and Katie has given her backing to the career departure for her husband by revealing that he likes to perform at their home.
‘Tom is such an amazing performer. Yes, we have music in our house and it’s amazing,’ she told Access Hollywood.

The little girl had to leave her designer shoes behind and settle for a pair of more practical flip flops for the day on the beach.
Her mother is reported to encourage Suri’s love of shoes, urging her favourite designers to make custom-heels for the gorgeous child.
A source told Star magazine: ‘Suri has so many designer shoes.

‘The older she gets, the less she wants to wear anything but little heels,’ she source continued.
‘Even when she’s going to play dates or walking on the beach, she cries if Katie reaches for anything but a little pair of sandals with some sort of heel.’
‘If they don’t come with a heel, Katie has them redesigned for Suri. She commissioned a pair of Louboutins for her a while back!’

The insider added: ‘Suri sometimes picks out the shoes her mum should wear, and then picks out shoes for her dad! They genuinely seem to value her opinion and want her to make her own decisions.’
It looks as if this time, little Suri has decided to jump in both feet first, to the delight of her proud mother.
