A messy public divorce has sent many leading ladies into hiding, but Katie Holmes has refused to let her split from Tom Cruise turn her into a recluse.
Katie, 33, and her daughter Suri, six, have been out and about in New York almost every day since the actress filed for divorce, visiting museums, going for ice cream and shopping.
Being single certainly seems to agree with Katie, who has swapped her daggy outfits and frowns for glossy locks, glamorous dresses and a satisfied smile.
Suri also looks happy and healthy and seems to love spending so much one-on-one time with her mother.
