Katie Holmes was the epitome of elegance at her first post-divorce public appearance. All eyes were on the actress at the annual Style Awards in New York City, where she presented the top accolade to fashion designer Carolina Herrera.
Katie looked sweet in one of Carolina's creations, consisting of a casual black shirt with an embellished, more glamorous skirt. Stepping up to the podium to address the star-studded crowd, Katie exuded the confidence of woman coming into her own as she honoured her friend. The Style Awards afforded Katie a rare night off from mummy duty. Since splitting with Tom Crusie back in June, the 34-year-old has been inseparable from the couple's little girl, Suri.
Mother and daughter have been spotted on a series of fun trips around New York, where Katie now lives with the six-year-old. While the brunette was taking her first bold steps back into the limelight, Tom has been enjoying a relaxing holiday in the idyllic island of Hvar, Croatia.
