Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes spent a beautiful Sunday in the West Village, New York City shopping and playing in the park. The weather was great and what better way to enjoy it than by taking turns sliding at the playground and visiting the Parisian children’s store; Bonpoint on Bleeker Street? Suri offered her opinion on a garment or two, tried on mary jane shoes, played with a bevy of stuffed animals and chatted up a very real looking baby doll. Katie was obliging and playful, toting Babar, while Suri mugged for the camera. Check out Suri’s Sunday outing here.

Katie Holmes debuted a new pair of jeans on her routine walk to rehearsals for All My Sons on Saturday. This pair of late 70’s inspired, high-waisted jeans look elegant on Katie’s frame (20 x better than last weeks pair). The high-waisted backlash to the ultra low rise cuts of the last few years has been met with mixed reviews, some claiming that the higher waist flattens one’s derriere and reminds most people under 40 of their moms. Others argue that the high waist appears to elongate one’s legs. Hilary Duff, Mischa Barton, Kiera Knightly are amongst those who have embraced the trend. Katie has found a pair that fits well, and flatters. What is your call on high-waisted jeans? Check out this lightbox of high-waisted styles, past and present.

It is often said that the streets of Manhattan are a fashion runway of sorts. Katie Holmes attracts media attention while cat-walking a New York sidewalk in a questionable pairing of ankle-rolled, baggy, distressed jeans and a contrastingly tidy-prim t-shirt and cardigan combo. Somehow her summer scarf makes the ensemble seem purposeful. She isn’t the first celebrity to don this baggy distressed jean look of late. Amanda Peet dressed similarly slumpy at the Pineapple Express premiere earlier this week. Who pulls the hand-me-down denim look off better?

Katie Holmes showed off her new bangs backstage at the MTV Movie Awards on June 1st. The new shape hearkens back to the short dos of the mid 1970s. Katie’s new look includes more spiky volume on the front, top and thins out towards the sides. She does not fully commit to the feathery helmet aesthetic that Liza Minnelli has played with for the past 30 years, but she gets awfully close. Florence Henderson familiarized the world with a similar hairstyle as Carol Brady on The Brady Bunch, alternating between a short and long tail as the series matured. Do you vote yay or nay on Katie’s new semi-shag?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes cut a typically blissful pose at the Washington, D.C. premiere of Cruise’s new film Lions for Lambs, a political thriller directed by Robert Redford and co-starring Meryl Streep, Michael Pena, and Derek Luke. Industry watchdogs have their eyes firmly trained on Lions for Lambs, which opens November 9th and is the first film from the re-minted United Artists. Cruise and his longtime producing partner Paula Wagner nabbed the reigns of the comatose studio with the guidance and blessing of MGM in 2006. With a reported production budget of just $35 million, this smart, dialogue-heavy topical thriller is the perfect vehicle for a re-launch. Some may feel a bit of déjà vu – DreamWorks SKG launched with The Peacemaker, an action-packed terrorism thriller starring George Clooney and Nicole Kidman, way back in the simpler days of 1997.
