Katie Holmes was spotted looking effortlessly chic as she strolled through New York City over the weekend. The 45-year-old actress rocked a stylish linen top paired with light wash jeans, completing her outfit with a pair of fisherman’s sandals that were both comfortable and fashionable.

Her hair looked like it had just been washed and air-dried, and she accessorized with layered necklaces and sunglasses, carrying a large brown leather handbag. The mom of Suri Cruise, 18, is preparing for a big change as her daughter gets ready to start college this fall.

In other news, Katie recently showed off her softer side by sharing adorable selfies with her kitten, Eleanor. The actress looked fresh-faced as she played with her feline companion, wearing a striped blue shirt and enjoying some quality time with her pet.
