Katie Holmes dons a black peacoat as she braves the windy weather while shopping in NYC
Katie Holmes was battling the elements when she was spotted shopping in New York City on Friday.
The 44-year-old actress was bundled up to brave windy weather in a black peacoat as her brunette hair flew around her makeup-free face as she walked.
The star has been busy recently starring in her off-Broadway play The Wanderers and promoting her new film Rare Objects, which is due out April 14.
She paired her buttoned-up coat with peach linen trousers that hung around her legs and white sneakers.
For part of her walk, she carried a large orange Ulta Beauty bag, a black purse, and her phone, which came in a red case.

The Batman Begins star has just a few weeks left in her play, which ends April 2.
The play is originally by Anna Ziegler and tells the story of two couples from two different worlds.
According to the synopsis op Ziegler’s page‘Esther and Schmuli are Orthodox Jews who enter into an arranged marriage, despite barely knowing each other’.
The plot continued: “Abe and Julia [played by Holmes] are high-profile celebrities who start a dangerously flirty correspondence despite being married to other people.’
On the surface, the lives of these two couples couldn’t be more different.
After the show ends, her new movie premieres, in which she stars, writes the script and directs. It is based on the novel of the same name by Kathleen Tessaro.
IMDB describes the film as a ‘…story of a young woman trying to rebuild her life when she takes a job in an antique shop. She regains her trust with the kind souls who own the shop, until they resurface from her traumatic past.’
The Alone Together star revealed in January that she nearly retired from acting at the age of 17 after a dry spell following her debut film The Ice Storm.

While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she explained, “Well, I was 17, and I remember we came to New York, my mom and I, and we shot it, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is what I want to do.’ Awesome.
“And then I went home, and I taped myself for several auditions, and I didn’t really get anything, and I thought, ‘Oh, well, that could be it. You know. That might be all there is .”‘
She continued, “But it was okay, because I thought, ‘You know what, that’s okay. That was a great experience. And I can tell my grandchildren, and it will be fine.'”

Fallon then asked, “Are you happy with that?”
Katie replied, “Well, I mean, I wanted more jobs, but I thought, ‘Don’t be, you know, greedy.'”
She recalled that she “got lucky” landing the movie role in The Ice Storm, as she went to Los Angeles to participate in the pilot season auditions and got the job on her second day.
The mother of one said, “It was my second day in Los Angeles and my first audition. I was lucky.’
