Katie Holmes stepped out for a stroll in Manhattan on Tuesday with wet hair while clad in a white cardigan over a grey t-shirt, blue Carpenter jeans, and black ballet flats.
It was the same day the 45-year-old Dawson's Creek alum made rare comments about her daughter Suri Cruise gearing up to move into her dorm at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA on August 17.
'I'm proud of my daughter. Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I'm really proud of her and I'm happy,' Katie gushed in her Town & Country cover story.
'I remember being this age, this time of beginnings. It's exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that.'
Holmes received her final child support payment of $33K from ex-husband Tom Cruise after Suri became a legal adult at 18 on April 18, but he agreed to continue paying for her tuition, medical, dental, and insurance expenses.

The 62-year-old Olympics Closing Ceremony action star hasn't been pictured with his youngest child since ending his six-year marriage in 2012 to the Ohio-born beauty, who receives no spousal support.
Tom has had 'no part' in Suri's life, and some speculate his alleged estrangement has to do with the mother-daughter duo 'disavowing the Church of Scientology' and devotees don't associate with SPs (suppressive people).
Cruise is also father to two adult children - Isabella Jane Cruise, 31; and Connor Antony Cruise, 29 - from his decade-long marriage to ex-wife #2 Nicole Kidman, which ended in 2001.
Katie - who dated the four-time Oscar nominee's Collateral co-star Jamie Foxx from 2013-2019 - has been single since ending her eight-month romance with bass player Bobby Wooten III in 2022.
On Monday, Holmes coordinated with her Our Town co-star Zoey Deutch in matching mustard tops ahead of their mother-daughter roles as Myrtle Webb and Emily Webb alongside castmates Ephraim Sykes and Richard Thomas in the Broadway revival of Thornton Wilder's 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
The Rare Objects director-star bonded with co-star Jim Parsons - who plays the stage manager - as they made a pilgrimage to New Hampshire to see landmarks that inspired fictional Grover's Corners.
The 28-strong, multi-racial cast then performed their first read-thru lead by director Kenny Leon, who gushed to T&C: 'People don't realize Katie's breadth and wealth of talent...She can play love, envy. I just want the presence that is Katie Holmes on stage.'
'This play is important after what we've all been going through,' Holmes said of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Previews of the strictly-limited engagement begin September 17 at the Barrymore Theatre in Midtown Manhattan and Our Town officially opens October 10.
It marks the Alone Together director-star's first professional acting gig since playing movie star Julia Cheever in Roundabout Theatre Company's off-Broadway play Wanderers, which ran from January 26, 2023–April 2, 2023 at the Laura Pels Theatre in Manhattan.
Katie also previously starred in two prior Broadway productions for The Shubert Organization - Arthur Miller's All My Sons at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in 2008-2009 and Theresa Rebeck's comedy Dead Accounts at the Music Box Theatre in 2012-2013.
Holmes is also penning several screenplays and signed on to star in Dito Montiel's thriller Captivated alongside Al Pacino, and she'll guest star in the second season of Peacock's murder mystery Poker Face lead by Natasha Lyonne.
