Tom Cruise's daughter Bella draws inspiration from 'estranged' mom Nicole Kidman and Tiger King for fashion range
Tom Cruise's daughter, Bella Cruise, is venturing into the fashion industry with her quirky style. Bella started selling her designs on her online website called Bella Kidman Cruise. She has often sold T-shirts, bags and others, but lately, she had been working hard on her new collection that she recently released on her website.
One of the items in her collection is a drawing of a cat with words “Protect your mother – and she’ll protect you," reports The Sun. The choice of words might come as a surprise to many as Bella's parents, Tom and Nicole Kidman, got divorced in 2001 and Bella has not had a long relationship with her mother.
Bella has been staying away from the movie limelight with her husband in London and it looks like she is more interested in the fashion industry than Hollywood. Her collection also has a tote bag that sells for $19. The picture on the bag is of a nurse wearing a mask with the wording, “Wealth is Health", written on it.
She also adds, "100 percent of the profits from this piece will be donated towards supplies and support to help the first responders.” Also, it seems like Bella is also a fan of the Tiger King series on Netflix as she drew inspiration from it for her collection. She has a design that shows one-eyed tiger wearing a cap, saying, “Make Peace Exotic Again #tigerking”.
It also looks like Bella has reduced some of the costs of the items on her website as her T-shirts used to sell for $85 but have now been reduced to $42.50. Bella was adopted by Tom and Kidman but she did not get a lot of time to spend with Kidman as the divorce between her parents was finalized when she was eight.
Bella then went on to live with Tom. Once she grew up, she decided to move to London. Along with her interest in fashion, Bella also shows the same interest in Scientology as her father. Her beliefs are quite similar to Tom's and it looks like she is following her father's footsteps when it comes to Scientology.
Bella has been vocal about her dedication towards Scientology as she made that clear in an email that she sent to fellow Scientologists in London. “This is what I had been searching for. The missing piece. Thank you to my dad for everything," read the mail. “We all need to do this. Wow. What an accomplishment. It’s hard work. It’s a lot of effort."
She continued, "This is a gift to yourself and so many others. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t going to be an auditor or aren’t going to join the staff. If you are going to make it as a being, in the long run, you NEED this. That’s the truth. So stop messing around and get going.” One of the reasons why Kidman and Tom got a divorce was his belief in Scientology.
Looking at how Bella follows the same footsteps, it does not come as a surprise that Kidman has not stayed in touch with her. However, looking at Bella's artwork, it looks like she still remembers her mother in every way possible.
