Skinny Katie Holmes can't hide her shrinking frame in wake of split from Tom Cruise

She has been putting on a brave face since her split from husband Tom Cruise last week.
But despite her smiling exterior the strain of Katie Holmes' break-up is showing itself in other ways - most notably her rail-thin body.
The actress failed to hide her shrinking frame when she spent the day with her child by the Mission Impossible actor, Suri, six.

Disappearing act: Katie Holmes has been putting on a brave face but showed off her rail-thin figure after splitting from Tom Cruise

Loose fit: Katie's halter-neck top was hanging off her - and she didn't appear to be in need of a bra

The 33-year-old's blue and orange halterneck top clearly displayed her bony back and angular collarbone and her blue jeans seemed to hang off her.
Her outing came as Tom's lawyer lashed out at Katie and her legal team, accusing them of 'playing the media'.
High profile lawyer Bert Fields spoke to BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat. He would not be drawn on specific details of the divorce - but did stick the knife in and insisted Tom was 'really sad about what's happening'.

While Katie attempted a steely resolve today, Suri Cruise looked tired and strained by the emotional custody battle her parents are to embark on.
The six-year-old is currently dealing with the news that her parents are set for a high-profile divorce.
Katie held her daughter tenderly in her arms during a trip with friends - and of course security - to the Children's Museum of the Arts in the Soho area of New York City.
Little Suri, dressed in a pink dress and holding onto a cuddly toy, clung to her actress mother.

Yesterday, Katie - who filed for divorce from the Hollywood star last week - spent American holiday Independence Day as a single mother for the first time.
The Dawson's Creek beauty was seen at Wholefoods supermarket near her Chelsea apartment stocking up on food supplies.
Making her way to the store, dressed casually in a denim shirt and a floral summery skirt, the mother-of-one looked feminine and pretty as she skipped along with Suri, who was in the same multi-coloured poppy dress she was in the night before.
Inside the market, Suri rode in the front of the shopping cart playing with a pale pink cowboy hat, with Katie photographing her wearing it.

The mother and daughter duo were accompanied by one of Katie's bodyguards from her top heavy security team.
During the outing Katie reassured fans that she is coping following the split from the Hollywood star.
Approached as she stocked up on food, Katie told a New York Daily News reporter: 'I'm alright. Thank you.'
Meanwhile it emerged that Katie Holmes is set to show her label Holmes & Yang at New York Fashion Week this September for the first time.
A spokesperson for Katie told WWD that her personal life would not impact her fashion label, despite her high-profile split from Tom Cruise last week.

The newly-single 33-year-old actress co-designs the label, which launched in 2009, with her stylist and long-time friend Jeanne Yang.
Available at Barneys New York, Holmes & Yang specialise in wearable day-to-night pieces and luxury basics that are all manufactured in the U.S.
Katie told the New York Times: 'We know that women are on the go and do a lot of different sorts of things all in one day. Hopefully, [Holmes & Yang] helps to provide them with some confidence in attacking all those different roles.'
Ms Yang added: 'We wanted to make pieces that you could bend over and pick up your kid in and also look really elegant.

Helping hand: Suri was guided along by her mother, who tenderly placed an arm on each of her daughter's shoulders

Tea time: Katie and Suri also had a meal at Alice's tea cup during their girly day out together

'Just comfortable clothes that you can wear going from a meeting to being a mom to going on a date.'
Mission accomplished. Season after season, Holmes & Yang creates a base palette of cream, navy, and black, featuring luxe shirts and trousers; textured silk jumpsuits; motorcycle jackets; leather, silk-lined blazers; and dresses worthy of the red carpet.
Showing their spring collection in New York for the first time with an intimate presentation, instead of a runway show, will firmly put Katie back on the high-fashion map.
Since her marriage to Tom Cruise in 2006, and her first foray into couture the same year with Victoria Beckham, the golden girl of Dawson's Creek has kept a low profile within the fashion industry.
However after she made the decision to file divorce papers last Friday, Katie is set to step out of Tom's Scientology shadow and back into the spotlight.

The 50-year-old actor was said to be 'blindsided' when his wife filed for divorce from him last week after five years of marriage and sought legal custody of their child - intends to go to court in Los Angeles in person to ensure he is legally allowed to see the youngster.
Katie filed for the divorce in New York because she believes she has a better chance of winning custody, and although Tom was encouraged to file in California, the law states divorce cannot be filed in separate states at the same time.
A source said: 'Tom has told Dennis Wasser and Bert Fields, his long-time entertainment lawyer, that his first priority is getting a court order in place, obviously a temporary one, that will allow him to legally see his daughter.
'Team Cruise has extensive documentation to prove that Los Angeles is where the case should proceed, because this is where he says they have lived.
