Katie Holmes showed off her smart casual style as she stepped out in New York City on Friday.
The style-setter, 45, who wowed fashion watchers with her black slip dress earlier in the week, opted for a mix of cool and warm tones for her outing.
The Rare Objects star and director kept warm in a brown suede jacket over a blue and white striped top.
She was wearing ankle-length straight jeans and a pair of plum-colored leather ballet flats.
The Ray Donovan actress appeared to be wearing little to no makeup behind her dark sunglasses.
Katie Holmes, 45, showed off her casual-chic style while stepping out in New York City on Friday. The Rare Objects star and director kept warm in a brown suede jacket over a blue and white striped top.
Her long dark hair was tied up in a high, loose bun.
The Batman Begins star carried a black leather bag and was seen having an animated phone conversation while out and about in the Big Apple.
The actress, whose daughter Suri just turned 18 and will graduate high school in the coming weeks, could soon be an empty nester.
The fashionista shares Suri with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, 61.
“Suri is applying to schools everywhere,” but is leaning toward going to college in New York, a source told DailyMail.com.
‘(Katie) really wants him to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Katie is very proud of her but is also extremely overprotective.
As Suri prepares to fly the co-op, Holmes is “actively seeking roles and is eager to return to the industry full-time,” according to a source who spoke with In contact.
She recently completed an as-yet-unnamed project starring an FBI special agent trying to rebuild her career after an affair damages her professional reputation, according to IMDB.
The Top Gun star has reportedly had minimal interaction with his ex and his youngest son since he and Holmes divorced in 2006.

Holmes is reportedly looking to revitalize her career when her daughter Suri Cruise, 18, graduates high school and heads off to college. A source told the Daily Mail that the teenager has been looking at colleges in New York.
During the marriage, Holmes reportedly received instruction in Scientology and Suri must have been raised in the controversial religion.
After their split, the Dawson’s Creek alum returned to her Roman Catholic faith.
Former prominent Scientologist Karen De La Carriere, who used to be married to the religion’s president, told DailyMail.com that Scientology is at the center of Cruise’s alleged estrangement with his teenage daughter.
“Katie was considered a repressive person and Suri, by extension, a potential source of problems,” he explained. ‘Tom cannot interact or connect with his own daughter. In Scientology, it’s Scientology first, family priorities are last in the order.’
