New York City streets were graced with a touch of star power this Christmas Eve as Katie Holmes and her daughter, Suri Cruise, 19, were spotted doing some last-minute holiday shopping.
The mother-daughter duo’s coordinated casual-chic looks made for a rare, stylish sighting. Holmes, 47, carried the spirit of the season in a cream midi-length peacoat, complemented by a taupe knit beanie, bright red trousers, and sleek black flats.
With a black handbag and a pair of shopping boxes in hand, the 'Dawson’s Creek' alum effortlessly balanced festive flair with practical errands.
Suri, currently on winter break from her sophomore year at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania, mirrored her mother’s off-duty style. The college student layered a dual-toned green North Face puffer jacket over a light gray hoodie, paired with flared dark wash jeans and brown suede boots.
She accessorized with a red woven purse and carried a cup of takeout coffee. The outing marked one of the first public sightings of Suri in months.
Last year, she began her studies at Carnegie Mellon after graduating from the prestigious LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City.
A source told the Daily Mail, “She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman. She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from.”
Holmes and Suri have shared special moments on set as well. In August, the teen visited her mother during filming of 'Happy Hours' in New York City, where Holmes was joined by her former 'Dawson’s Creek' co-star Joshua Jackson.
Suri has spent most of her life estranged from her father, Tom Cruise, 63. The 'Mission: Impossible' star has not been pictured with his daughter in 12 years.
Holmes filed for divorce in 2012, and she retained primary custody while Cruise was granted visitation. Despite the absence of her famous father, Suri and her mother share a close bond, enjoying quality time together whenever she is home from college.
Observers couldn’t help but notice the striking family resemblance, as Suri’s style sense and demeanor reflect her mother’s distinctive blend of eclectic and normcore fashion.
As the holidays approach, this rare mother-daughter sighting serves as a reminder of the strong bond they share, a stylish, heartwarming duo navigating the season together in the heart of the city.
