Katie Holmes looked chic as she was seen walking alone in New York City on Friday.

The Batman Begins veteran wore a pale blue denim chambray shirt that was not tucked into her long green skirt.

Black flat ballet shoes looked comfortable as she toted a pale brown leather purse from Khaite on her shoulder as well as a book bag.

With little makeup on and large sunglasses covering her face, the star looked like she was flying under the radar while getting coffee in midtown Manhattan.

This comes after DailyMail.com reported that her ex-husband Tom Cruise is footing the bill for their daughter Suri Cruise's college education at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.

In divorce papers, Cruise committed to covering the child's educational costs.

Holmes was seen on Sunday at Carnegie Mellon helping Suri move into her dorm room.

The two ladies were side by side as they walked on the campus and later picked up lunch.

Katie has been a single mother since she divorced Cruise in 2012 after six years of marriage.

Katie was granted full custody of their daughter in the split, with the divorce settlement also stating that Tom had to pay $400,000 a year in child support payments, as well as all of Suri's 'medical, dental, insurance, education, college and other extracurricular costs.'

Suri has not been photographed with her Top Gun actor father in 11 years and it is believe they are estranged as she recently dropped his last name and now goes by Suri Noelle, which is Katie's middle name.

Tom, however, does have contact with the two adopted children he shares with second ex wife Nicole Kidman.

They are Isabella and Connor.

Meanwhile, DailyMail.com has learned that Tom is paying the $65K a year fee for Suri to attend Carnegie Mellon.

Suri is now a college freshman at Carnegie Mellon University, a private university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The 18-year-old student starts classes on August 26, according to the school's website

'Tom is indeed paying for Suri's tuition, he has always paid for her schooling and would never stop as he is a stand-up guy,' a friend of Tom's told DailyMail.com. The annual tuition at CMU is $65K.

'He has never hesitated paying his daughter's child support and expenses. He does not go back on his word. He is fulfilling his obligation.'

But he is likely no longer paying Katie $38,000-a year in child support as Suri is now 18 and no longer a child.

Earlier this week DailyMail.com reported that Suri is looking forward to her college experience and is sharing a dorm room with another female student in an all-female dorm hall. 

'Suri wants the full college experience so she is giving the dorm rooms a try and she will have a roommate,' an insider told DailyMail.com. 'She is excited for a new chapter in her life.'

Instead of mom Homes' three-bedroom high-rise luxury apartment in NYC, the teenager will be in a bare-bones dorm room.

She is believed to be house in Scobell House which has a maximum of 88 students and is all female.

One of the highlights of Carnegie Mellon? The campus houses several restaurants that offer cappuccinos, croissants, pasta and smoothies. And there is a state-of-the-art wellness center.

The rooms can be for one person, two or three, depending on need and price. 

One of the rooms has two bunk beds which means as many as four students can be crammed in the space. 

Most of the dorm rooms offer furniture: there is a single bed with space underneath for storage, a five level chest of drawers, a desk with three drawers and a chair.  

There are plenty of amenities at the complex like a TV lounge, a study lounge, a recreational area, laundry facilities, and a kitchen.

Scobell is in the WHeSco community, which includes the houses Henderson and Welch. 'WHeSco is proximate to many academic buildings and dining options in Resnik. Each building has a central area on the ground floor where students have access to lounges, laundry, and a kitchen,' the website shared.

There is plenty of food to purchase on campus so Suri won't go hungry as she crams for finals. 

There are restaurants like Au Bon Pain café bakery at Cohon Center where Cruise can pick up chocolate croissants and sodas.

There is also a Ciao Bella restaurant for tasty pasta dishes like Fettucine Alfredo; it is also located at Cohon Center.

The Edge Cafe and Market at Resnik House is where Suri can get bagels and cream cheese as well as pizza.

Also Carnegie Mellon has College of Fine Arts department which Holly Hunter and Ted Danson have graduated from.

Suri has a break coming up soon: Labor Day falls on September 2, and she will have that day off.

September 27 and 28 is Family weekend, and Katie is allowed to visit then. 

Tom won't be there. 

It has been hinted by Katie that Suri may be studying acting and dance at Carnegie Mellon. Holmes told Town & Country magazine that after college, her daughter wants to enter showbiz. 

Both Katie and Suri's father Tom have been in the industry since their early 20s.

The magazine claimed that Suri 'is said to be interested in pursuing a career in fashion or acting.' That does not sound off base Suri starred in a high school production of The Addams Family.

And Katie has already put Suri to work on two of her films.

Suri contributed vocals to songs in two of Holmes' films - the 2023 drama Rare Objects and 2022 romantic drama Alone Together.

'I'm proud of my daughter,' Holmes told Town & Country of her daughter.

'Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I'm really proud of her and I'm happy.'

Holmes, speaking with Glamour in April 2023, said that she has sought to encourage Suri's performing on her projects.

'I hope she always does something on my films,' Holmes said. 'I always ask her.'

Holmes said that 'both of those experiences came out of the same sense of what I love about our industry, which is, you have these projects and you become a family with people.'

Holmes said she strived to create a 'safe, beautiful, creative space' for Suri to hone her craft as a performer.

'So it comes out of love for me to include someone who I love dearly,' Holmes said.

'It was very meaningful to me to have her there, because she's my heart.'
