The piercing seems to be a 2025 addition, as Cruise was spotted jogging in a crop top last year, and her belly button was ringless. It’s unclear when she might have gotten the piercing, but the first proper glimpse of the jewelry was on July 8, 2025. Cruise seems to be rocking a small golden-toned curved barbell on her navel, a more subtle style than the traditional bigger barbells used for belly piercings.
The small piece of jewelry, similar to what Dua Lipa wears in her navel, gave Cruise’s casual fit an undeniable ’00s touch, and we can’t help but think back on her mother, Katie Holmes, in Disturbing Behavior.

While portraying Rachel Wagner in the 1998 movie, Holmes looked like the spitting image of her daughter, rocking both a rose ring and a belly button ring as part of her character’s wardrobe. While Holmes’s piercings for the movie were faux, it seems like the love for piercings does run in the family, as the actor did debut a real nose piercing in 2024.
