Finally, we have some new photos of Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise out and about in New York City! It’s been a few weeks since that’s happened, and it’s nice to see the girls doing their thing. On Sunday, Katie was even wearing a cute red dress with a black leather jacket (you can see those photos here) without her famous fug booties. On Saturday, Katie went casual and kept the fug booties on while she and Suri went for a training-bike ride together on an NYC pathway. Those booties shall live forever, but at least Katie and Suri are having some good, old-fashioned, cheap fun together.
Speaking of (relatively) cheap fun, last week’s trip to Toledo was a good one, and Suri apparently enjoys flying commercial (contrary to a certain In Touch story) so much that as they were waiting in the security line, Suri said “I love you, I love you, I love you, Mommy.” That last little tidbit comes from Page Six, and it was probably a Holmes plant, but I still believe it. Now what I do have trouble believing is that Katie is deluded enough about her Holmes & Yang line to think that she can upstage former BFF Victoria Beckham at Fashion Week. It’s on, bitches:
Former best friends Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes will be fighting it out on the catwalk next month and the claws are out.
I am told the pair, whose friendship fizzled out long before Katie’s recent split from Tom Cruise, are both hosting shows on September 9 during New York fashion week.
Katie, 33, will be showing her Holmes & Yang collection for the first time while Victoria, 38, will be staging her VB show at the New York Public Library.
My sources say Katie is planning to use the hype surrounding her split from husband Tom to overshadow the column inches Victoria desperately wants for her VB range.
“Katie is definitely hoping to upstage Victoria,” an insider says. “This is her first show and she’s determined to prove that she can pull it off.”
[From Daily Mail]
Kaiser and I were talking about this, and we both begrudgingly agree that Victoria does have some fashion cred — thanks to the likes of Kate Winslet, Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria, and Demi Moore, who have all worn Posh’s designs on the red carpet. I’m not a big fan of Victoria’s line at all and think that her clothes mostly look good only on Victoria (even though Jennifer Lawrence pulled off a VB look not too long ago), which is probably the point. Will Victoria ever achieve her ultimate fashion dream of dressing Tilda Swinton? Of course not. However, Victoria at least dresses like a fashionista and wouldn’t be caught dead in fug booties. Unlike poor Katie.

Yuck, can’t look at picture after picture of her with these boots on all summer long without thinking they must smell terrible…
Yes, my thoughts exactly, however you see Suri wearing what appears to be the same shoes all summer long.
My guess is they have several pairs of what appears to be the same shoe.
The fact Holmes seems to enjoy wearing boots all summer long in hot NYC demands further explanation. Translation: yuck.
Usually Suri wears flip flop when she is with Kate.
They are Isabel Marant suede ankle boots and they are DIVINE.
Do you like the IM high sneakers too? I like the boots, can’t wrap my mind around those sneakers
Katie must be at least 5’10” with those booties on..and her figure still looks odd to me. Very boyish. And why does Suri have training wheels? Obviously, Suri did not ride a bike until this photo op. When my daughter was 3 she was starting to ride with no training wheels.. plus i worked full time and lived in a crappy apartment! Katie is just as phoney as Tommy. She hardly ever works, and how much time to you have to invest to teach your only child how to ride a bike?
She’s 6 and still on training wheels? Wow, that kid is really just starting to live, right?
Probably this is the first time she ride a bike.
Agreed. Nice to see she’s getting some exercise and not being carried around.
The cynic in me sees a magical moment coming where Suri learns to ride her bike with Mom running behind her…. then… the magic moment where Katie lets go and Suri rides on independently.
Photographers are present, of course.
Yeah, six is a bit late for training wheels but let’s not be too hard on the kid. My mother used to comment on the various paths of a child’s development and say reassuringly “At 21, all of them will be eating with a knife and fork and using a toilet”. And ridiing a bike without training wheels. In other words, relax, the kid’s doing fine. Go, Suri!
Nice to see them, but All I keep thinking is that Suri is going to have the worst foot problems from all the crappy shoes she wears. The little gal needs some arch support!
Don’t judge Suri and training wheels! I had training wheels for a long time and I was terrified to learn to ride without them. I was 6 or 7 when I started learning without them. My sister who learned at the same time and is two years younger than I am picked up on no training wheels right away! She was only four year old and wheeling around with her little chubby legs long before I was. I was more cautious. We all learn at different paces!
This may sound stupid but I am glad Suri is carrying her own helmet (and wearing one!). If Katie were still with Tom, Suri probably would have tossed the thing to the ground and Tom or Katie would be carrying it.
I agree. Give the kid a break. Kids learn different things at different times. Suri has already visited more places and countries than some early bike riders may visit in a lifetime. You can’t blame her if she wasn’t taught.
At this point, I have to believe that those boots contain video equipment, stun lasers, a secret credit card and a pair of “forever” airline tickets to Bavaria.
But it’s great to see them smiling and having a lovely normal time on a summer day.
Ha…and hopefully odoreaters!
Airline tickets to Bavaria? You mean to upstage Crazy Cruise’s over-the-top Cinderella’s Castle thing at Disney by showing Suri the original, mad king Louis II. castle Neuschwanstein?
I agree about the boots, they must be some sort of magic prop for Katie.
@ brin: Maybe she has several pairs of those boots, so they can be aired out from time to time? 😉
And of course a bourne-cellphone!
Edit: she should send a pair to Charlene, prince Albert’s wife!
I’d buy katie’s Jeans line if she designs one. She wears very nice fitting Jeans.
Maybe she’s a better at designing clothes than she is at acting? I hope she is!
I think Suri inherited Tom Cruise’s charisma. Katie is likable but doesn’t have the X factor that Tom and Suri have. Course Tom is squandering his by being such a wackadoo Co$.
I agree with the bootie issue. Somehow those are magic booties for Katie.
Maybe they are magic in the sense… these were the booties she walked out on Cruise with.
And she just considers them her “kicking sh*tty cults to the curb” booties.
So you will have to agree, those might just be magic booties after all!
Are the booties really magic and like some Peter Pan, when she wears them, she can fly? She flew away from Tom!! 🙂 Magic booties for everyone in CO$!!
i’m more interested in holmes & yang. i don’t mind katie’s “fug booties” at all.
I especially dislike those boots when she wears them with a dress!
I do not get it – I’m pretty sure she could afford several pairs of boots….maybe she doesn’t like to shop?
In any case, they’re ugly and unflattering (and, as speculated above, prob. pretty “ripe” by now).
But they both look super cute (from the ankles up) and happy, so good for them!
what’s with a little dress and slippery shoes for Suri riding a bike? shouldn’t she be in shorts and sneakers? does anyone remember trying to ride a bike in slippery dress shoes and your feet slipping off? i do, and it wasn’t pleasant as i would lurch forward and hurt myself. why isn’t this little girl ever dressed appropriately? since Katie was raised in the midwest, one would think she knows about sneakers and shorts! ugh…drives me nuts!
And I love that she’s wearing Roger Vivier children’s shoes which must cost several hundred dollars – but I just read online that sales from them go to charities.
so what are you saying? that you don’t think it’s strange that she’s wearing “dress” shoes on a bicycle because they are designer and $$$ goes to charity. it’s not practical…i’m sure there are plenty of designer sneakers out there if this child must wear designer…and put some pants on the child…
I adore those boots. Think they go great with jeans, leggings or skirts/dresses. Don’t get the hate?
Who cares if they wears them a lot, I have boots or shoes I wear a lot and they don’t stink, if you take care of them and your feet they shouldnt…
The Walter S claw ones VB wears are awesome, though, way too pricey but they are TDF.
But Katie dresses more — real. I love VB outfits but honestly who dresses like that in real life every single day?
Katie is more relatable, VB more fantasy or once in awhile.
I like the “fug” boots too. She appears very comfortable in them. They look good with her jeans. I don’t get the “hate” around them. Let her be; the woman has been through hell, non?

I think the boots are cute. I have a similar pair and I love them.
Yes, VB would not be caught dead in those “fug booties” but VB could not teach her kids to ride bikes in the 9-in platform heels either.
Never seen Suri in sneakers. Wonder why that is? Looks like they would be more comfortable than flats.
She’s probably always been heavily encouraged in her fashion doll interests, so she might just not like them. Hopefully now Katie is normalising her life a little, she’ll come to see the value of clothes to rough around in.
I don’t get the complaints about the boots. She obviously likes them, who cares? Maybe they’re her +10 Boots of Asskicking and make her feel like she can face the world. I’ve got a pair of boots like that 🙂
It wouldn’t surprise me if this was Suri’s first time riding a bike.
And I’m glad to see them doing simple normal-people things. I hope Suri is having a lot of fun, enough to weigh up against Tom’s Best Parent Ever Extravaganza
Leave Katie’s boots alone, y’all!!! 🙂
With jeans, I like the booties. It’s when she wears a skirt or shorts or whatever short with them that they irk me. Jeans and boots (or booties) are fine with me.
Maybe she wears them cuz Tom hates them… I know I do and that black bra she’s wearing w that white shirt eww…. Freedom wear what u want 🙂
Team Posh on this one.
Sorry Katie, hate the jeans – a long crotch is never a good look on a woman. And please please please retire those boots. Or better yet, send them to me, I’ll burn them for you. We have a little tradition around here of burning old clothing and footwear 🙂
Please Katie at least get the boots in a different colour,
