Hitching a ride: Katie Holmes' hot pants revealed a little more leg than expectedShe obviously didn't mind showing off a bit of leg.
But Katie Holmes may have revealed more than she bargained for as she climbed out of her car with her hot pants hitched up so high they disappeared beneath her denim shirt.
The actress, who is married to Tom Cruise, was using a day off to take the couple's daughter Suri shopping in Toronto.
The four-year-old has made frequent visits to the set in Canada where her mother is filming The Kennedys, an eight-hour mini-series to be broadcast on the History Channel next year.
Miss Holmes is co-starring as Jackie Kennedy alongside Greg Kinnear, who plays husband John F Kennedy.
But perhaps spending weeks in the role of the glamorous First Lady has affected the 31-year-old's sartorial judgment.
She teamed the casual shirt and daring hot pants with strappy high heels - probably better suited to a red carpet than a day out with a young child.
Holmes looked a lot more elegant as she left her apartment in Manhattan to attend the premiere of her new film The Extra Man.
