Mommy and me! Katie Holmes brings her daughter Suri on stage to wave at the crowd as she speaks at the Global Citizen Festival

Katie Holmes hit the stage to speak at the star-studded concert event.

But the crowd in attendance were surprised to see her little star in the making.

The 36-year-old actress brought her daughter Suri onto the stage at the Global Citizen Festival on Saturday.

Katie even encouraged her adorable nine-year-old to give a friendly wave at the crowd at the event. The former Dawson's Creek actress shares Suri with ex-husband Tom Cruise.

A very shy Suri lifted her arm with a smile as she wore a knit sweater over a patterned pink and white dress and grey leggings.

Katie went hell for leather in a black snakeskin print jacket paired with black skinny jeans at the event in New York City's Central Park. 

The Dawson's Creek star added a splash of colour with a bright print top as she stood tall in black ankle boots.

Take a walk on the wild side like Katie in a crocodile print

Katie Holmes stunned at the Global Citizen Festival in an Isabel Marant, crocodile print jacket. This particular jacket has no center zip up, but a ruffled trim that gives a feminine flounce. The fitted shoulders and sleeves look structured and neat.

We love Holmes' daytime pairing with a colorful and textured blouse along with ash, cigarette jeans. The actress chose tousled tresses and minimal makeup to boot with this number.

We didn't expect crocodile print to come back looking so good, but Katie has us sold! We would love to pair this jacket with a flirty dress for a night out or with boyfriend jeans for an everyday look. You can try your options by checking out the carousel below for more croc print jackets!

She kept her make-up to a minimum and carried a chic beige purse.

Katie was not the only A-lister at the event as Diane Kruger was also in attendance as she showed off her long legs in tiny denim shorts paired with fishnet tights, giving herself a boost with high-heeled black ankle boots.

The 39-year-old Inglourious Basterds star added a preppy twist with an oversized black blazer over a striped shirt.

She completed the look with a monochrome bandana and a shiny quilted black purse.

Diane seemed plenty excited for the event, Instagramming an image of herself with a thumbs up, writing: 'Global Citizen Concert here I come #GlobalFund #GlobalCitizen'

The blonde beauty also shared a black and white snap of herself holding a sign reading: 'We are not a generation of bystanders. We are global citizens.'

Good cause: The 39-year-old actress made a statement as she held up a sign encouraging community action
