I’m sure by now you’ve heard about Suri Cruise’s $6,000 Halloween costume complete with real pearls and diamonds (whether it’s real or not is another story.) Although my kids will be trick-or-treating in the blue-light special, you’ve got to admire Tom and Katie for their bold statement (even if they insist Suri designs her own clothes. Pleeeease!)
