Katie Holmes was spotted running errands in Manhattan on Wednesday, sporting a relaxed yet chic look that made her almost unrecognizable.
The 46-year-old actor and director kept things casual with a grey long-sleeve shirt tucked into light-blue wide-leg jeans, paired with black square-toe ballerina flats.
She completed the ensemble with oversized sunglasses and a luxurious $3,050 Max Mara ‘Whitney Bag 7’ made from calfskin.
Dawson’s Creek Reunion Brings Back the Nostalgia
Katie is gearing up for a nostalgic return to her Dawson’s Creek roots.
She will appear at the highly anticipated class reunion live reading of the 1998 pilot episode on September 22 at the Richard Rodgers Theater in Midtown Manhattan.
Co-stars James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, Joshua Jackson, Mary Beth Peil, John Wesley Shipp, Mary Margaret Humes, Nina Repeta, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe, and Busy Philipps will also join her on stage.
The event, which is sold out, will benefit F*** Cancer, a cause close to Van Der Beek, who publicly revealed his stage 3 colorectal cancer diagnosis last November.
Holmes famously played the beloved girl-next-door Joey Potter during the show’s six-season run from 1998 to 2003.
Katie Holmes Focuses on Filmmaking with Happy Hours
Holmes has been keeping busy behind the camera, writing, directing, and starring in her upcoming trilogy Happy Hours.

The ensemble cast also includes Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson, and Jack Martin.
Katie invited her Our Town collaborators John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr., and Sky Smith to join the project, while Sting’s wife Trudie Styler is listed as one of the producers.

Suri, 19, has previously performed covers and original songs for Katie’s films Alone Together (2022) and Rare Objects (2023).
Despite being estranged from her father Tom Cruise, who Katie divorced in 2012, Suri receives tuition and medical support from him.
