Katie Holmes is receiving rave reviews for her work in new Broadway show Our Town, so it's no wonder she was full of smiles out and about in New York City.
The actress rocked a very retro look, pairing an oversized quilted bomber with casual gray sweat pants and chunky sneakers.
With her hair loose and a pair of sunglasses, Katie's off-duty look was paired with a big smile as she spoke on the phone, revealing just how happy she is at this new time, following her daughter Suri's departure for college.

Her street style is classic and comfortable, as she pairs jeans with boyfriend shirts and ballet flats, and oversized jackets with tailored trousers.

Suri is now in college in Pennsylvania, studying at the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University, but as it's only an hour flight away, she recently went back home to New York City to visit her mom ahead of opening night of Our Town, and it is thought she will also return for Thanksgiving break at the end of November.
Suri was spotted in the audience cheering on Katie and giving her a standing ovation, along with dermatologist Dr. Kenneth Mark and divorce attorney Ken Jewell, two friends of Katie's.
Katie has spoken before about the heartbreaking reality of being a parent, telling Town & Country: "Every day, kids get a little further away from you. That's a positive thing. They should be becoming more independent, but it's heartbreaking."
She added: "You want them to stay with you forever, but they're these amazing beings, and you have to do everything you can to give them what they need — and then they're going to go. And that's going to be very, very sad for me."
