The 45-year-old actress stepped out looking decidedly simple, revealing a visible bruise under her left eye and noticeable swelling on the right side of her face.
Her look was effortlessly casual—a navy blue tee, bright wide-legged pants, and black shoes—complemented by a simple cap that did little to hide her injuries. Despite the talks, there's been no official word from Holmes' representatives about the cause of her appearance.
Her photos quickly circulated online, triggering a variety of responses. One concerned follower wondered, "What happened to her face?" while another exclaimed, "OMG!!! I'm so worried!!!"
Some speculated that she might have undergone surgery, with comments like, "Eye surgery" and "Looks like both eyes, maybe surgery on nose or something." Another suggested, "Probably had her eyelids done," and someone else echoed, "She probably had eye surgery."
Among the more troubling theories, one devoted fan feared physical abuse, writing, "What's up Katie. Please don't get involved with any more bad actors."
On a more supportive note, another fan offered well wishes, stating, "I hope Katie Holmes is doing okay and that her bruised face isn't indicative of any serious issues. Best wishes for a swift recovery!"
