Just last week, the couple were spotted holding hands while strolling around SoHo in matching white tees.

Tom Cruise’s ex-wife took a step back in time with her yellow plaid pants that were reminiscent of Alicia Silverstone’s iconic yellow plaid outfit in the ‘90s comedy Clueless.

Letting her outfit do the talking, Katie skipped the jewelry and kept her look low key with tortoise sunglasses and a black EvolveTogether face mask.

The Dawson’s Creek star, who has earned herself a reputation as a style icon, accessorized with a Sharkchaser Bubble bag.

To finish off her outfit, Katie opted for the classic pair of Gucci New Ace sneakers.

Crafted from white leather, these sneakers have a low-top silhouette with the luxury label’s signature red and green stripes, golden bee embroidery, and contrasting red and green heel tabs.

“Emilio Sr. seemed very happy with Katie,” a source told Us Weekly. The insider added that Emilio’s friends think Katie is “great for him.”

“Emilio is into Katie. Whenever he’s asked about her, he blushes and smiles. They are always laughing when they’re together. It’s constant smiles and loving looks between them and Emilio’s friends more than approve of Katie.”

Lourdes Vitolo is unhappy about Emilio and Katie’s relationship

While their friends and Emilio Vitolo Sr. approve of their relationship, there’s one person that wasn’t exactly thrilled—his mom, Lourdes.

Based on previous reports, Emilio dumped his fiancée, Rachel Emmons, just days before photos of him kissing Katie surfaced.

Lourdes was “furious” about how Emilio ended things with Rachel and that his new relationship with Katie Holmes upset her, according to Page Six.

“[Lourdes] thinks she brought him up better than that. She didn’t like how [Emilio] handled this at all.”

However, another source revealed that things weren’t going well between the former couple before Katie showed up.

An insider familiar with Emilio’s family said: “He and fiancée were taking it slow, and it wasn’t working out.”

“He likes older women. He dated an older anchor at Fox, and others, so he has a history with older women,” the insider added.
