Suri Cruise is busting out the short shorts as she steps into spring.
The 18-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise sported a pair of black bottoms and a thin cream knit sweater during a stroll Monday in New York City.
She finished the look with a pair of black sneakers and printed socks, listening to her headphones during the walk.
Suri’s outing comes after she celebrated her 18th birthday earlier this month while her estranged father was off shooting the next Mission Impossible movie in London.
‘Tom does not exist to her,’ a source previously told DailyMail.com as the teen ‘officially’ severed all legal ties with her dad on the milestone birthday.

As Suri turned 18, Tom, 61, was no longer required to pay child support, which reportedly amounted to around $400,000 a year.
‘Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer,’ the insider said.
‘He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything,’ they added. ‘She feels that she has one parent and that is her mother.’
Holmes, 45, was married to the Top Gun: Maverick star and famous Scientologist from 2006 to 2012, when they divorced and she left the church.
The Dawson’s Creek alum has since raised her daughter in NYC, where they’ve had little contact with Tom over the years.
‘Being raised by a single mom in New York has made Suri who she is,’ a source told DailyMail.com. ‘Katie has always put Suri first and Suri loves her mom more than anything.
‘She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature woman,’ they added.
‘She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from.’

As Suri prepares to finish high school in June and start college in the fall, another source said she is ‘weighing up her options‘ but ‘leaning toward’ studying fashion.
‘Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other,’ the insider said.
‘Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective,’ they added, noting that Holmes is ‘overwhelmed’ with the idea of her daughter going to college.
