Katie Holmes delights in Jimmy Fallon’s performance as Suri returns to NYC on college break for Thanksgiving

Katie Holmes looked radiant and in high spirits as she arrived on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday.

The Dawson’s Creek alum, 45, flashed a megawatt smile, possibly to celebrate her daughter Suri Cruise returns to New York on her college break prior to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Holmes was dressed casually yet stylishly in a smart denim top with an open collar that highlighted her cleavage and paired it with black leggings.

She kept her signature chestnut hair long and loose, accessorized with a pair of designer sunglasses and carried two oversized leather bags.

Her appearance came just hours after her daughter, 18-year-old Suri – whose father is movie star Tom Cruise – was spotted grabbing coffee in Brooklyn.

Suri, currently studying at the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, is home on vacation.

The Mission Impossible icon is reportedly contributing financially to Suri’s tuition, although the actor has not been seen in public with his daughter in over ten years, fueling ongoing rumors of an estrangement.

Despite this, Suri shares a close and supportive relationship with her mother.

The two were spotted together in New York City last month when Suri visited during her fall break from college.

Katie was married to Tom from 2006 to 2012 and the couple welcomed Suri in April 2006.

Since then, she has had custody of Suri, who has reportedly not had a relationship with her father since 2013.

Katie revealed that Suri recorded a cover of the song Blue Moon for her film Alone Together, a project in which the film star wrote, directed and starred.

‘She is very, very talented. She said she would do it and she recorded it and I let her do her thing,” Holmes shared Yahoo! Entertainment.

She added: ‘That’s the way I direct in general: It’s like, “This is what I think we all want – go and do your thing.

The actress also revealed that Suri sang on Rare Objects, a project Katie also wrote, directed and starred in.

It’s unclear where Katie and Suri will spend the holidays, although Katie maintains a strong connection to her roots in Toledo, Ohio, including her parents and four siblings.

Although Katie is notoriously private about her personal life, she has occasionally opened up about her family.

“I don’t know how my mom did it raising all five of us,” she said in a 2009 interview with Glamour. ‘I have three sisters and three sisters-in-law; I have learned from them. I am inspired by them.’

In 2016, she told New York TimesI’m the youngest of five, I have three older sisters, of course I’m a mother, and I feel comfortable telling stories about female relationships because I’ve been surrounded by so many women my whole life.’
