Katie Holmes, daughter Suri seen during rare outing in LA
Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise have places to go and people to see.
The mother-daughter duo was photographed at Los Angeles International Airport Monday night ahead of a flight to an unknown destination.
The “Dawson’s Creek” alum, 44, and her 17-year-old mini-me already bear an uncanny resemblance, but they were also dressed alike during the rare outing.
Holmes sported a dark gray sweatshirt atop a white T-shirt, which she pared with black sweatpants, Adidas sneakers and an orange baseball cap.
The actress completed her look with a brown purse, opting for no jewelry or makeup.
Meanwhile, Cruise rocked a light gray zip-up hoodie, white joggers, black sneakers and a canvas tote slung over her shoulder — just like her mama.
Holmes spoke about her desire to keep her teenager safe in an unusually personal interview earlier this month.
“What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her,” she told Glamour magazine.
The “Batman Begins” actress went on to describe Cruise as “an incredible person” and said she felt “grateful” to be her mom.
Holmes is likely doubly protective of her only child given her highly publicized and seemingly traumatic divorce from Suri’s dad, Tom Cruise.
A source exclusively told Page Six last month that Tom, a devout Scientologist, has no part in his youngest kid’s life and has not seen her in a long time.
During a deposition for his 2012 defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media — which was later settled — the “Top Gun” franchise star was asked whether his ex-wife had ended their relationship “in part to protect Suri from Scientology.”
He responded at the time, “That was one of the assertions, yes.”
The actor, 60, notably distanced himself from Suri after Holmes left him. According to former Scientologist Leah Remini, that’s because the “First Daughter” star is a “suppressive person,” which is considered an “enemy” to active members of the controversial organization.
