    Katie Holmes looked chic on Friday as she walked to the women’s luncheon at the Chanel Tribeca Festival in New York.

    The Dawson’s Creek star, 45, looked statuesque in high-waisted, wide-leg trousers, which she paired with a tank top featuring a pink floral print.

    Suri Cruise’s mother wore her long brown hair parted just off the center and cascading down her back in soft waves.

    Black pumps and a dainty black crossbody handbag completed her trendy look.

    This sighting comes as daughter Suri prepares to head off to college in the fall. The teen revealed that she will be attending the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the fall.

    Earlier this week, she spent some quality time with her mother Kathleen, who visited her in New York City.

    Kathleen raised Katie and four other children in Toledo, Ohio with her attorney husband Marty and supported her daughter’s career from the beginning.

    As a mother, Katie tries to follow in her mother’s footsteps.

    Katie stumbled to People magazine that Kathleen “was just so kind and has such a pure heart; she really leads with these two qualities, so I try to do the same.

    “She’s just so kind and very generous, so I do my best to embody that and pass that on to my own daughter.”

    Katie also spoke highly of the “blessing” of being able to spend quality time with Kathleen, “especially” in New York, where they “always have a good time.”

    Suri will graduate from high school this month and then prepare for college at Carnegie Mellon University in the fall, where she will reportedly study fashion.

    Carnegie Mellon’s School of Design is one of the nation’s oldest and most highly regarded programs.

    Now admitted to the hallowed halls, a very chic mother, and a wardrobe reportedly worth $5 million, Suri is embarking on the next chapter of her life.

    An insider told DailyMail.com: ‘She’s a smart girl and she’s turning into a very intelligent, mature young woman. She has a very close group of loyal friends and knows exactly where she comes from.’

    But while Holmes is proud of her daughter’s amazing achievement, sources say she is “overwhelmed” at the thought of sending her little girl to college.

    Someone recently told DailyMail.com: ‘Katie is very proud of her, but is also extremely overprotective.’

    This sighting comes as daughter Suri prepares to head off to college in the fall.  The teen revealed that she will be attending the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the fall.  Katie and Suri seen in 2017
