From Jamie? Katie Holmes shows off gold band that could be from rumoured beau Mr Foxx as she steps out in NYC with dripping wet hair

Katie Holmes was obviously in a hurry when she rushed out of the house for a day of errands.

The actress, 36, was spotted looking chic but with her long brown hair dripping wet in New York on Monday.

The former Dawson's Creek star showed off her summer style in a white and black patterned dress with a cute frilly waist.

The Batman Begins actress was dressed professionally, accessorizing with large over-sized sunglasses and with a black Ralph Lauren Ricky handbag, which retails for $2500, on her arm.

Holmes, who sported a matching red mani-pedi, also wore embellished flat sandals while out and about in the trendy Soho area.

She also flashed a gold ring on her wedding finger as she held a coffee from posh bakery Le Pain Quotidien. She is rumoured to be romancing Jamie Foxx.

Carry all your essentials in Katie's black Ralph Lauren bag

The bag is the 'Ricky' from Ralph Lauren and luckily for us still available to buy at Neiman Marcus, although you will need to be feeling rather flush to get your hands on it with a price tag of over $2500!

The actress completed her outfit with three layered pendant necklaces and multiple beaded and gold bracelets on each wrist as she made her way through the Manhattan crowds.

But her pulled-together look was let down by her wet, un-styled hair, which she wore brushed off her face in a rare fashion faux pas.

Perhaps Holmes was counting on the sweltering summer heat to dry her hair, or perhaps she was running late for a business meeting. 

The fashionable actress and businesswoman recently posted an image of herself with designer friend Jeanne Yang to Instagram. 

The pair ended their clothing line Holmes & Yang in March last year, blaming different philosophies on how to run the company and promote their designs.

Holmes, who split from ex-husband Tom Cruise in 2012, looked serious and focused on Monday.

She recently signed a lease for a luxury penthouse in Manhattan's Chelsea district, where she and daughter Suri have lived on and off since her split from Cruise.

She is reportedly paying $25,000-a-month for the two-story penthouse, which has a chef's kitchen, large terrace and plenty of room for daughter Suri and her friends to play.

In addition to the move, a busy Holmes is also returning to TV screens with her new role on gritty Showtime drama Ray Donovan.

She plays young businesswoman Paige Finney, who Donovan, played by Liev Schreiber, must help out of a family crisis.

With a posh new apartment and promising TV role, it seems Holmes is entering a new phase of her life and career. 

The actress, who is famously private, has said she doesn't want her very public divorce from Cruise in 2012 to define her.

Since the split, Holmes has been steadily rebuilding her career: 'I don't want that moment in my life to define me, to be who I am. 

'I don't want that to be what I'm known as. I was an actor before, an actor during and an actor now.'
