One fan told her: "Omg, congrats Catherine and proud mama @karenswensen." Another wrote: "Beautiful picture of family love," while one follower said, "Congrats to Catherine. Love that you are always there to support them in their most memorable times."

And it seems that Catherine will have her 'auntie' Hoda nearby in New York when she starts university. One fan told Hoda: "You’re the best friend. And how lucky is she that she’ll be in NYC with you."
There were plenty of compliments for Hoda about her stunning outfit too – a bright coral-coloured jumpsuit that she teamed with some heels, stacking bracelets and shades.
