Katie Holmes rocks a chic and casual look during New York City stroll – as her daughter Suri Cruise prepares to head off to college

Katie Holmes was seen rocking another chic linen top with jeans over the weekend. 

The Dawson’s Creek star, 45, looked great in a tan and white striped button-down top and light wash jeans. 

Her hair looked freshly washed and she accessorized with layered necklaces and sunglasses and carried a large brown leather handbag.

The First Daughter actress slipped her feet into pair of fisherman’s sandals that were sturdy enough for her walk while also giving off some serious summertime style. 

The mom of Suri Cruise, 18, is preparing for her only child to leave the nest as she heads to college this fall.

Suri is expected to attend Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh this fall.

Suri dropped her father Tom Cruise’s last name when she graduated from high school and took her mother’s middle name as her last name.

Mission: Impossible star Cruise has not been seen out in public with his daughter for around a decade.

Sources have previously claimed he has little involvement in her life, which is signaled further by Suri’s new moniker.

Recently, the Batman Begins actress showed a softer side of herself in a series of three selfies with her adorable kitten.

Katie was fresh-faced as she laid on the floor playing with the cat named Eleanor.

The mom-of-one wore a striped blue shirt as she lounged around with her feline companion.

And last month, Katie attended the Dave Matthews Band concert at Northwell Jones Beach Theater in New York State.

After the concert, the Alone Together star shared two black and white snaps from the concert – her ticket and a photo with Dave Matthews, 57, and drummer Carter Beauford, 65 – on Instagram.

She captioned the post: ‘Thank you @davematthewsband for an AMAZING night!’

In the photos, the Alone Together director wore a casual, flowy white t-shirt and a pair of patchwork pants.

Eyewitnesses at the show said the First Daughter actress was alone at the show and appeared to be enjoying herself.
