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

Her brunette locks were let loose and cascaded over her shoulders as… She paired the look with flat shoes.
Katie appeared to be in good spirits as she relearns her way through life after moving with her look-alike freshman daughter to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, earlier this week.
Meanwhile, her ex-husband, a 62-year-old action man, has been busy working on Mission: Impossible 8 after taking part in the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris last week.
Tom and Katie were married from November 2006 until they split in August 2012, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
From Suri Move-in day was Sunday and classes will begin on August 26, according to the school website.
And the daughter of Hollywood movie stars will have very different accommodation to what she is used to in New York City, DailyMail.com can report, as Suri will share a room in the dorm with another student.
“Suri wants to have the full college experience so she’s trying out the dorms and will have a roommate,” a source told DailyMail.com. “She’s excited to start a new chapter in her life.”
Instead of her mother Katie’s luxurious three-bedroom apartment in a high-rise, the teenager will be living in a sparsely furnished bedroom.
Katie has hinted that Suri might be studying acting and dance at Carnegie Mellon. Holmes told Town & Country magazine that after college, her daughter wants to go into show business.
The magazine claimed that Suri “is interested in pursuing a career in fashion or acting.” This doesn’t seem far-fetched, as Suri starred in a high school production of The Addams Family.

“I’m proud of my daughter,” Holmes told Town & Country of his daughter.
