TOM Cruise’s daughter has launched a quirky style range inspired by her mom, Nicole Kidman, Tiger King and the coronavirus pandemic.
Last year, art graduate Bella Cruise opened up an online website called Bella Kidman Cruise, selling prints, bags and t-shirts and just this week she launched a new collection.
One of Bella’s designs is a drawing of a cat with the words “Protect your mother – and she’ll protect you.”
It’s a surprising choice for the designer, as the 27-year-old is thought to be estranged from mom Nicole Kidman, who divorced Tom Cruise in 2001, with Isabella and brother Connor continuing a strict Scientology upbringing.
Currently, Bella is living 10 miles outside central London in Croydon with computer analyst husband Max, where she’s lived for the last six years, a world away from the glamor of Hollywood.
There’s also a tote bag on sale for $19 with a portrait of a nurse wearing a mask, saying “Wealth is Health,” with Bella saying on the Instagram post that “100 percent of the profits from this piece will be donated towards supplies and support to help the first responders.”
It’s unclear whether Bella means the money will go to National Health Service workers or one connected to her beloved Scientology.
The Church has a group called Scientology Volunteer Ministers, who hit disaster areas around the globe, and have been using the coronavirus pandemic as a way to target troubled hotspots with hand sanitizer, masks and Scientology booklets.
Bella has also come up with her own tribute to the hit Netflix show Tiger King, which includes a design of a one-eyed tiger, wearing a cap saying “Make Peace Exotic Again #tigerking”.
Proceeds for the framed tiger print, on sale for $25, go to animal rights organization, The Humane Society of the United States.
Bella’s other artwork includes a clock designed as a snake and a skeleton clasping some sort of mermaid.
Her printed T shirts were on sale for $85 but have now been reduced to $42.50.
Bella was was adopted in 1992 as a tiny baby by A-listers Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
She was eight years old when her parents separated and she initially split her time between them.
After her parents’ divorce in 2001, she and Connor lived in LA with Tom, who also has daughter Suri, 12, with his third ex-wife, Katie Holmes.
She later moved to London, where she continues to follow Scientology.
Last year she told how she was “drowning in problems” before training as a Scientology “auditor” — effectively a counselor who helps other believers shed “spiritual distress” using an “E-meter.”
The device is similar to a lie detector and delivers low-voltage electricity to the subject.

Bella said in an email sent to fellow Scientologists in London: “This is what I had been searching for. The missing piece. Thank you to my dad for everything.”
She added: “We all need to do this. Wow. What an accomplishment. It’s hard work. It’s a lot of effort.
It’s a few meltdowns and running to the bathroom to have a mini episode but it is worth everything because you will get through.
“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 staff. If you are going to make it as a being for the long run, you NEED this. That’s the truth. So stop messing around and get going.”
