Katie looked so chic with blonde highlights added to her brunette locks, styled in beachy waves that fell past her shoulders. 

It is a big change from her usual darker shade which she typically styles in soft waves or with a chic up-do. 

The mother of one donned a blue and white floral-print pantsuit for the event, adding a black shirt and brown kitten heels to compliment the outfit. She accessorized with a brown fringed handbag.

Her post comes just days after her ex-husband, Tom, was seen leaving his pal David Beckham’s 50th birthday party with Ana de Armas, a Cuban-Spanish actress best known for her roles in Knives Out and Blonde. 

Eagle-eyed fans spotted Ana in the background of a picture posted by Victoria Beckham of the birthday bash, wearing a black slip dress and a shocked expression as she watched the festivities kick off. 

Meanwhile, Tom sported a white tuxedo with a bowtie, matching the football legend. Prior to their outing, Ana and Tom had been spotted enjoying each other’s company in London for her 37th birthday.

A fan of the action star, Ana shared with USA Today that she wanted to emulate his skills in her own projects. Neither of the A-listers has commented on their rumored romance.

Katie and Tom tied the knot in 2006 and welcomed their daughter, Suri, in the same year. They sadly split in 2012, with the Dawson’s Creek actress gaining full custody and moving across the country to New York with their daughter.

Tom has not been sighted with his daughter since 2013, and the teen opted to drop his name and change it to Suri Noelle, her mother’s middle name, for her high school graduation ceremony. 

She is now a proud student of Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania, with her mother learning to adjust to being an empty nester.

“I’m proud of my daughter. Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy,” she told Town & Country. 

“I remember being this age, this time of beginnings. It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that.” 

Katie has filled her time by hitting career goals, including a Broadway run in the play Our Town, and her starring role in Poker Face season two, alongside Natasha Lyonne, Kumail Nanjiani, Awkwafina, and Melanie Lynskey.
