Katie Holmes is putting her multi-tasking skills to the test by serving as writer, director, producer and star of the her new film Alone Together.
But on Friday, as the film dropped in select theaters, Holmes showcased her promotional skills when she attended a question-and-answer panel for the upcoming rom-com in her adopted hometown of New York City.
Looking casual but still cool, the Ohio native was spotted leaving her Manhattan home by herself and then making her way to the event at the Angelika Film Center.

Holmes, 43, stepped out on to the bustling streets of New York City dressed in blue denim jeans and a black double-breasted blazer over a white top.
Knowing there would be some walking involved in her trip to the event, she choose to wear a pair of stylish white sneakers with prominent brown stitching.
The Dawson’s Creek alumna accessorized with dangling green and yellow earrings and had her dark brown tresses styled long past her shoulders with a part in the middle.
She appeared to have a fresh glow to her complexion on this night, all while flashing a beaming smile towards one admiring photographer.

Multi-tasking: The Batman Begins star serves as writer, director and star of Alone Together
Holmes has been in promo mode for the upcoming movie in recent days, which included an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers this past Wednesday.
It turns out the Batman Begins star and her daughter Suri, 16, quarantined during the height of the pandemic at an Upstate lake house, where they bonded during their ‘perpetual vacation’ and she wrote the screenplay for Alone Together.
‘I went through watching a bunch of movies and actually during that time I was watching movies that I grew up on, like Manhattan, Annie Hall, When Harry Met Sally. Like movies that I knew the ending [of], it was comforting, there was joy and so I thought well, I was reading a lot about couples coming together and falling apart and I was like, I think the threat of the world ending, let’s see a couple come together,’ she said.
