Katie Holmes was spotted out with her daughter, Suri Cruise, for the first time since they celebrated her 18th birthday.
On Monday, the Dawson’s Creek actress, 45, and her teenage daughter made a coffee run and were seen enjoying a stroll together in New York City.
For their mother-daughter date, Suri — who turned 18 just days earlier on April 18 — looked effortlessly stylish in a patterned maxi dress with red tassels along the bottom of the skirt.
She bundled up in an oatmeal-colored cardigan and an oversize denim jacket while immersed in a conversation with her mother.
Holmes — who shares with her only child with her ex-husband, Suri’s estranged father Tom Cruise — was a sight to behold in a pinstriped button-down layered with a gray sweater.

She paired her cozy knit top with wide-leg jeans as well as black, suede shoes and a matching leather tote bag.
She wore a pair of oversize sunglasses and threw up her hair into a messy ponytail while her mini-me daughter left her hair down and showcased her beauty in a makeup-free look.
Over the weekend, Suri was spotted picking up flowers in New York City as she prepared to celebrate her birthday without her estranged father.
She later joined her mother, who was photographed running errands across town, to celebrate together.
Suri has spent much of the last 12 years living in the shadow of frenzied speculation over her infamously fractured relationship with her Scientologist father.
Her estrangement from her dad — who has all but been exiled from his youngest child’s life for many years — was born from a bitter rift that stemmed in large part from the mother-daughter duo’s decision to cut ties with his controversial faith.
The wedge between Suri and her dad began at the time of Cruise and Holmes’ 2012 divorce and has since become a rock-solid wall — one that Suri has no plans to ever break down, DailyMail.com can now reveal.
Now she is at the age of 18, Suri is a legal adult, ‘officially’ capable of making her own decisions.

Now that Suri is 18, she will sever all remaining ties with her estranged father on paper
But while sources close to the teen say she is still weighing up her options as far as her future career is concerned, they note that she is crystal clear on one thing: ‘Tom does not exist to her.’
Suri’s birthday will officially sever all remaining ties with Tom on paper.
The Top Gun star will no longer be required to pay child support to Katie, a sum that reportedly amounted to a hefty $400,000 a year.
But even the potential of future financial assistance will not lure Suri into pursuing a relationship with her father, insiders insisted.
‘Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer,’ one source told DailyMail.com.
