'Princess' Suri Cruise & 'Tomboy' Shiloh Jolie-Pitt: Born Weeks Apart, These Girls Have Much in Common At 17

• The media believes that Suri, daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, and Shiloh, of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, would have been perfect best friends.
• The teenage girls were born just weeks apart and understand the life of having famous parents.
• They might have clashing fashion senses, but their lives are pretty similar.

In a perfect celebrity world where the most loved Hollywood couples and their children would be best friends, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Katie Holmes, and Tom Cruise would have been Hollywood's dream friendship.

But the most exciting would be their children's friendship. Interestingly, Jolie and Pitt's daughter Shiloh and Holmes and Cruise's daughter Suri were born just weeks apart.

In April 2006, Cruise and Holmes were overjoyed to welcome their daughter Suri. The actress reportedly had a smooth birth and was out of the hospital within 24 hours.

Suri was described as a beautiful baby with dark hair and blue eyes. The name Suri originates from Hebrew, meaning "princess," or in Persian, meaning "red rose."

Jolie and Pitt also had a joyous birth. Their daughter Shiloh was born in May 2006 in Namibia. A close source said Jolie did great and had Pitt by her side the whole time. The two also gave their daughter a special name, a historical translation from the bible, meaning "the peaceful one."

Suri and Shiloh's Contrasting Styles

From the time Suri was a child, she had a very classic style with dresses, matching cozy coats, and ballerinas. She always wore her bangs out, and her mother was not afraid to dress her in prints.

One of little Suri's iconic looks was a long polka-dot dress with gold pumps. But an even cuter moment was when the then three-year-old was seen wearing heels. Even though it was a tiny heel, it was impressive to see her walk comfortably in the shoes she matched with elegant princess dresses.

On the contrary, Shiloh grew up embracing different styles. According to a source, every day was a surprise. She was once into pirate costumes and fake tattoos, and another time she loved a clown costume so much she wanted to wear it out of the store.

Then at one point, Shiloh wanted to be called John because of her love for "Peter Pan." Pitt did not have a problem with his daughter's temporary name change. He said, "...it's just that kind of stuff that's cute to parents, and it's probably really obnoxious to other people."

During one of her interviews, Jolie also tried to explain her daughter's style. She said, "Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style. It's how people dress there. She likes tracksuits; she likes [regular] suits. So it's a suit with a tie, a jacket, and slacks, or a tracksuit."

The "Salt" actress added that her daughter loved to dress like a boy and even wanted to be a boy. So she cut her hair and only wore suits to look like her brothers.

Jolie and Pitt always supported their daughter's "tomboy" style. In fact, the mother of six reasoned that it was as normal as some kids being into capes, just that her daughter wanted to be called "John or Peter."

Shiloh would reportedly refuse to wear dresses, too. Instead, she wanted to be one of her made-up characters, Marcus, with horns and arrows.

Shiloh's tomboyish style continued the older she got, but she mixed it up a few times and wore dresses in public. Meanwhile, Suri still embraced her ladylike style and had one of the best designer wardrobes.

How Are Shiloh and Suri's Lives Similar?

Suri and Shiloh, now both 17, understand what it is like to have famous parents who are also divorced. Suri's parents divorced while she was still young, but there was a lot of attention on her and her parents as she grew up.

The divorce settlement between Cruise and Holmes was reportedly complicated and very detailed in protecting Suri's upbringing. Holmes was granted primary custody of her daughter, but Cruise was still given much time to spend with Suri.

Some of the false information that needed to be clarified was that the "Top Gun" actor had to be in the presence of Holmes's bodyguard while with Suri. The settlement also included details about religion. Both parents were restricted from discussing religion with Suri, including Scientology, until she was old enough to understand.

The divorce was a difficult time for Holmes. The actress opened up about the intense public attention on her failed marriage and young child. Even though it was a tough time for the "First Daughter" star, she said she made many friends from people who helped her protect her daughter from the media attention.

Holmes remembered her daughter calling her from a sleepover, asking her to pick her up. She was attending a ballet but dropped everything to be with Suri. Her daughter was so exhausted that she fell asleep on the ride home.

When the taxi pulled over at her building, the taxi driver was kind and helped Holmes wake up Suri so she could get her upstairs. The actress appreciated everything the driver did that night.

As for Cruise, he reportedly does not have a relationship with his daughter because of his affinity with the Church of Scientology. The last time he was seen with Suri was shortly after Holmes served him with divorce papers.

The divorce between Jolie and Pitt also shocked many fans, but Jolie's representative said the separation was for their family's health. The mother of six asked for physical custody of all their kids— Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne—and requested for Pitt to get joint custody.

Although Jolie was not asking for much in the divorce, a close source said the process was not easy as the two mostly clashed on their parenting styles. They reportedly had several disagreements on how they wanted to raise the kids.

After all the media attention surrounding the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" stars, Shiloh and her other siblings continued to lead a more private life.

What Else Do Suri and Shiloh Share in Common as 17-Year-Old Teens?

Suri and Shiloh cannot dodge the paparazzi despite trying to stay out of the limelight. Suri isn't shy to express her annoyance with the cameras and is known to shout, "Get out of the way."

Shiloh might not always say much, but her facial expressions usually say it all. As a child, she used to stick her tongue out at the paparazzi, and now her wary and straight face sends the message.

The teenage girls might have opposite styles and interests, but their lives are similar. Suri is said to be a fan of ballet and dancing, and Shiloh loves soccer. Shiloh once attended her sister Zahara's ballet performance but wanted to show up in her soccer boots.

Holmes also bragged about her daughter's musical talents, revealing that she sang in the film "Rare Objects." "She's very, very talented," gushed the proud mother.

Suri and Shiloh had similar experiences and would have learned from each other's differences. From the look of things, they could have been the perfect best friends.
