Katie Holmes went makeup free when she was spotted dashing around New York City this week, amid her run in a Broadway revival of Our Town.

The 45-year-old ex-wife of Tom Cruise looked youthful as ever as she strutted her stuff around the city that never sleeps.

Although she has experimented with a nose ring a number of times in the past, she went without the adornment during her latest outing.

Her current acting job sees her playing a woman in small-town New Hampshire at the dawn of the 20th century, a setting in which a nose ring would look out of place.

With temperatures dropping as autumn progresses, Katie bundled up in a color-block jacket zipped over a cozy-looking off-white turtleneck.

Katie’s Broadway comeback comes just after her daughter Suri began college at Carnegie Mellon, after graduating from New York’s famous LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts earlier this year.

The high school, which was said to have inspired the movie Fame, has churned out a formidable array of celebrities over the years.
