Katie Holmes can’t hide her excitement after her divorce
from Tom Cruise came through last week and she’s hit the shops to celebrate.

The US actress who split from the A-lister last month has a
new found enthusiasm for fashion as she reportedly splurged $15,000 on shoes
and $10,000 on lingerie in a post break-up shopping frenzy in New York.

The former Dawson’s Creek star, who is rarely seen out and
about without her mini-me daughter, Suri, has been making the most of her new
found freedom since ditching her husband of five years.

Katie treated herself to a lavish
post-split pick-me-up shopping spree,’ a source told the National Enquirer.

‘She wants to show the world who
she really is – a beautiful, confident and talented woman balancing single
motherhood and a thriving career,’ the source added.

After the stress of her high-profile divorce, Holmes is
obviously after some much needed pampering time.

Although she’s received nothing from her divorce settlement
and just $400,000 a year in child support, Holmes clearly felt the need to
splash the cash to pull her out of her break up blues.

The fashion designer and mother debuted an image change just
days after her divorce was announced, wearing a chic blue dress and skyscraper
heels, which she could never wear alongside diminutive Cruise.

Holmes is reported to have bought a staggering 15 pairs of
Louboutin shoes, which might have made a dent in her bank balance at hundreds
of dollars a pop.

The actress then apparently headed to Barney’s department
store where she bought a whole new wardrobe of cocktail dresses and power suits
in a bid to re-launch her image.

Having a break from her new chic look, Holmes dressed down
in jeans and a T-shirt to take Suri to a basketball game at Chelsea Piers in
Manhattan on Tuesday, but still managed to don a pair of stylish heeled boots.

I hope she shows off her lingerie in lots of stunning photos……. just to show Tom what he is missing. ahem

I want the louis vuitton monogrammed neverfull bag on her arm £750

Ryan G – no actually, the law says that some of child support is also for the carer of the child. Plus, the quality of life for both the child and their mother (sorry this is usually the case) are mutually inclusive — where they live, what they eat, if they can afford a car, a holiday, a pet, the heating on etc…you simply can’t say child support is just for the child, it’s impossible to separate the two (ie. a young child and their mother) in terms of costs. Plus all the costs for babysitters (the mother has a right to be able to go out!) and childcare.

I think maybe she isn’t destined for Hollywood – her style is far more suited to being a homely girl in the Creek. I think growing up in Capeside away from all the paparazzi would be so much better for Suri ;)

Nice red dress. Nice outfit. For once.

GO KATIE – you look fabulous !

Hang on – I thought DM was trying to make us sympathise with her impoverished state! If she thinks she’s poor she needs a reality check
Can’t stand this woman. Fame hungry gold digger

Hate to say it, but her styling was more elegant and impressive when she was Mrs Cruise. She is now choosing to look the opposite and very ordinary. But her choices don’t show her to best advantage….did think that orange number a few weeks back was dynamite on her though. She is reacting and reacting to reacting and doing it through clothing as she redefines how she sees her own identity. Shows she was turned inside out that she needs to do this now.

Very funny DM, she has worn nothing but shabby ill fitting clothes and that same pair of boots, before and after the divorce.
One time she goes out in a cheap looking red dress and she is suddenly “fashionable” .. ha ha ha .. not even close.

It’s therapy…….retail therapy, and why not !!
