Katie Holmes made heads turn on Wednesday.
The Dawson’s Creek star, 45 — who is frequently spotted out in the Big Apple — was seen cutting a casual figure while enjoying her day off in New York City.
The outing comes just days after the actress moved her daughter Suri Cruise, 18, into her dorm at the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University on Monday.
Enjoying the summer heat, the ex-wife of Tom Cruise modeled a white T-shirt and a midi-length red skirt.
She teamed the look with matching red sunglasses, a designer purse and flats.

Her brunette locks were let loose and cascaded over her shoulders as she tied the look together with flats.
Katie appeared to be in good spirits as she relearns to navigate life after moving her look-alike freshman daughter to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania earlier this week.
Meanwhile, her 62-year-old action man ex-husband has been busy working on Mission: Impossible 8 after taking part in the Olympic closing ceremony in Paris last week.
Tom and Katie were married from November of 2006 until calling it quits in August of 2012, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.
Suri’s move-in day was on Sunday and she will begin classes on August 26, according to the school’s website.
And the child of Hollywood movie stars will have accommodations that are very different than what she is used to in New York City, DailyMail.com can report, as Suri will be sharing a dorm room with another female student.
‘Suri wants the full college experience so she is giving the dorm rooms a try and she will have a roommate,’ an insider told DailyMail.com. ‘She is excited for a new chapter in her life.’
Instead of mom Katie’s three-bedroom high-rise luxury apartment, the teenager will be in a bare-bones dorm room.
It has been hinted by Katie that Suri may be studying acting and dance at Carnegie Mellon. Holmes told Town & Country magazine that after college, her daughter wants to enter showbiz.
The magazine claimed that Suri ‘is said to be interested in pursuing a career in fashion or acting.’ It does not sound off base as Suri starred in a high school production of The Addams Family.

And Katie has already put Suri to work on two of her films.
Suri contributed vocals to songs in two of Holmes’ films – the 2023 drama Rare Objects and 2022 romantic drama Alone Together.
‘I’m proud of my daughter,’ Holmes told Town & Country of her daughter.
