Katie Holmes was on the move when she was spotted taking a subway in midtown Manhattan on Sunday.
Like any other New Yorker, the actress, writer and director was on the platform waiting for the next train to arrive looking smart and casual in black pants, a white printed dress shirt and white shoes.
With the temperature just above freezing, she covered herself with a tan coat as she checked her phone for messages.
It looks like the former Dawson’s Creek star left the house in a bit of a rush, as she sported a wet head while at a subway station.
Her long locks were styled long, straight and flowing with a slightly right parting to match the wet look.
