Dressed down day? Katie Holmes opts for casual comfort shopping day

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Casual Katie: Mrs Tom Cruise enjoyed a dressed down day yesterday as she hit the shops in LA yesterday


On Thursday evening she had looked every inch the Hollywood starlet as she graced the red carpet at an awards ceremony – but yesterday was clearly a dress down day for Katie Holmes.

The actress took in a spot of shopping at Barney’s in Beverly Hills wearing a pair of skinny jeans a pink vest top and flat pumps, a much more casual look compared to her polished appearance the night before.

Katie appeared to have forgone any makeup and had her hair scraped up into a messy top bun.

The mother–of-one perused the show section of the store enjoying a some alone time retail therapy.

Katie had taken centre stage the night before as her husband Tom Cruise was honoured by the Simon Wiesenthal Centre.

The 32-year-old actress looked stunning in the black dress with green sash, which she teamed with black sandals, as she posed with Cruise outside the event.

However, it was inside the event that Holmes really stood out from the crowd, as she glowed while applauding the honorees at the ceremony.

The couple were also accompanied by Cruise's 16-year-old adopted son Connor as the Mission: Impossible actor was presented with the Humanitarian Award - the highest honour bestowed by the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, a Jewish rights organisation which also educates people about the Nazi Holocaust.

Cruise, who played a German military officer who planned an assassination of Adolf Hitler in the 2008 film Valkyrie, was honoured for his support of the organisation throughout his life.

Absent from the ceremony was the couple's five-year-old daughter Suri, who is perhaps too young for such an occasion.


Late night? The mother-of-one appeared tired as she made her way around the store. The night before she had joined Tom at a party


Despite reports that she and her husband are planning to have more children, Holmes recently insisted that she is happy with the size of her family.

She also said that Cruise and ex-wife Nicole Kidman's adopted children Connor and 18-year-old Isabella get on incredibly well with Suri.

She said: 'They're great kids, a great brother and a great sister to Suri, and she's a great sister to them. It's not, "This is stepmotherhood and this is motherhood".

'I'm not worried about it (having another baby). She's got really good friends and great cousins, so I feel happy about it.

'We have a really busy household, and it's really fun and fulfilling. There's always something going on.'

It can be difficult to stand out when your husband is a world-famous action movie star.

But last night Katie Holmes managed to take centre stage as Tom Cruise was being honoured by the Simon Wiesenthal Centre by turning up at the event in a low-cut dress which drew attention to her cleavage.

The 32-year-old actress looked stunning in the black dress with green sash, which she teamed with black sandals, as she posed with Cruise outside the event.

Tom Cruise’s Katie Holmes and Kidman Bond over Kid

Katie Holmes has purchased a gift basket for Nicole Kidman’s soon-to-be-born child that is apparently worth more than $2,000 according to Star Magazine. Showing no ill will towards the ex is a beautiful thing(what the hell, Holmes is quite a bit younger after all). Maybe Holmes stores her hate for Penelope Cruz. No word if the basket contained a book by L. Ron Hubbard.

Cruise gets Smith & Beckham to fence

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise has introduced actor Will Smith and football star David Beckham to fencing.

Smith said, “Tom has a room for training. We don't get enough time to hang out, just us three guys, so this is his way of getting together and bonding. David and I go to his home and just do fencing. It's a lot of fun."

"We wanted an activity that was strenuous, but we're getting older - we have to think about slowing down. We've got to watch our joints," he added.

Tom Cruise Shows Beckham His Swordmanship

Tom Cruise has reportedly recruited Hollywood pals David Beckham and Will Smith to join him in his newest hobby: fencing.

The Mission: Impossible star is said to have built a room in his U.S. home for practicing his swordsmanship - and often invites close friends Smith and Beckham to join him in the sport.

Tom Cruise: The Unauthorized Biography by Andrew Morton

If you are looking for a breezy summer read then Tom Cruise: The Unauthorized Biography is a book you might want to consider as it not a book you want to take too seriously.

In this book Morton gives us a glimpse into Tom Cruise’s early years as a struggling actor and his quick rise to fame as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the movie industry.

A major part of the book focuses on Scientology which is informative and a bit frightening. More interesting are his romantic liaisons that portray Cruise as a somewhat fickle romantic.

Morton’s account of Cruise is fairly even-handed although it may leave you a little more likely to believe the next tabloid story you see in the check-out line at the grocery store exposing one of Cruise’s many quirks.
