Katie Holmes, Mom Kathleen Holmes Make Rare Appearance at ABT Gala

Katie Holmes’ night out with her mom was en pointe. 

Indeed, the Dawson’s Creek alum and her mom Kathleen Holmes stepped out for a rare mother-daughter appearance at the American Ballet Theatre’s 2026 Spring Gala in New York City May 20.

And the outing was truly a special event. After all, Katie, 47,—mom to Suri Cruise, 20, with ex Tom Cruise—was honored at the gala for her longtime support of ABT and advocacy of the arts, per a press release from the dance company.

While posing for photos on the red carpet at the event, which featured a preview of Don Quixote, the Batman Begins actress and her mom kept everyone on their toes as they made a stylish pair.

Katie stunned in a white two-piece spaghetti strap ensemble that featured a patterned overlay, pairing the look with a diamond choker necklace and chic T-strap sandals. Kathleen, meanwhile, wore a tan and black printed midi dress with puffed sleeves, along with black loafers and a matching handbag. She added a pop of color with fun red frames.
