Katie Holmes, known for her private nature, made a rare exception over the weekend by sharing glimpses of her personal life on social media. The “Dawson’s Creek” star spent the week in Paris for Fashion Week, while her daughter Suri Cruise, 18, stayed in New York City. Holmes posted two new photo series, offering a peek into her time in the French capital.
Katie appeared to have a fabulous time in Paris, attending fashion shows, enjoying delicious food, and donning chic outfits. She traveled with luxury fashion label Patou and wore pieces from their latest collection throughout the week. This trip comes just weeks after she launched her collaboration with APC Paris in New York City, where she teamed up with her mother, Kathleen Holmes, a talented quilter who designed a special quilt for the collection.
Holmes shared several personal photos from her time in Paris, including pictures of the tasty food she enjoyed. In an interview with InStyle, she spoke proudly of her mother, who had a successful drapery business before giving it up to raise her children. Kathleen’s influence on Katie’s love of fashion has been passed down to Suri as well.
Katie also gave insight into Suri’s involvement in crafts, recalling a time when Suri wanted a fairy-themed birthday party. They went to a fabric store to pick out materials, encouraging Suri to create things herself. This approach has always been important to Katie, who wanted her daughter to feel empowered and in charge.
As Suri prepares to attend college at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Katie is undoubtedly experiencing a bittersweet change in her personal life. Suri, who recently graduated from LaGuardia High School, is expected to study at the School of Design, which offers a variety of subjects for creative students. Like her mother, Suri is also interested in performing and is a talented singer and actress.
Katie has primarily raised Suri alone in New York City following her divorce from Tom Cruise in 2012. It is believed that Suri does not have a relationship with her estranged father and has chosen to go by Suri Noelle, a nod to Katie’s middle name. In a previous interview with InStyle, Katie spoke about raising her daughter in New York City, appreciating the city’s offerings and the ability to navigate its challenges.
Katie Holmes’ recent social media posts provide a rare glimpse into her personal life, showcasing her time in Paris and her close bond with her daughter, Suri. As Suri embarks on her college journey, Katie continues to balance her career and personal life, all while maintaining her privacy.
