Katie Holmes was spotted sporting a chic designer look while enjoying a stroll around New York City on Friday.

The 45-year-old actress was seen donning a fashionable beige ensemble consisting of a T-shirt and a long skirt with a thigh high slit as she went braless.

She paired with the look with Gucci shoes and sunglasses as well as gold earrings as she frolicked around the Big Apple.

Her brown locks were let loose as they cascaded over her shoulders and flowed in the breeze. 

The former wife of Tom Cruise added an edgy touch by wearing a hooped nose ring and carried an oversized black purse over.

The brunette beauty was spotted having a Marylin Monroe moment as she struggled to keep her skirt down as it blew in the wind. 

She was seen chatting up a storm while on a call as she held her red phone up to her ear. 

The outing comes just a week after announcing that she is returning to Broadway to appear in a star-studded revival of Thornton Wilder's play Our Town. 

Holmes has been cast as Mrs. Myrtle Webb in the upcoming production of the show, which will feature 28 performers, according to People.

The movie and TV star - who recently attended a star-studded theatre gala - will also be joined by Jim Parsons and Zoey Deutch, the latter of whom will be making her Broadway debut.

Our Town is set in the early 1900s and is centered on the lives of several families in Grover's Corner, New Hampshire.

The play initially premiered in 1938, and it was first produced on Broadway that same year, after which it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Our Town has been revived on and off Broadway several times, and performers such as Henry Fonda, Penelope Ann Miller and Montgomery Clift have been involved with various productions.

A film based on the play was released in 1940 and starred William Holden and Martha Scott.

The most recent Broadway revival of the play took place in 2002 with a cast led by Paul Newman.

Previews for the upcoming show are currently scheduled to begin on September 17, and the production's premiere is set to take place on October 10 at the Barrymore Theatre.

The new production of Our Town will mark the first time that Holmes has returned to Broadway in over a decade.

The performer's most recent appearance in a play was in an off-Broadway production of The Wanderers, which debuted in February of last year.

Holmes spoke to Variety the following month and opened up about what she felt was the main difference between working on films and plays.

'When you're on set, it's you and the other actors and the director. There's always a sense, for me, you want to please the director,' she said.

'The audience is different. You're not trying to please them. We're sharing the same experience,' she added.
