Katie Holmes opted for a low maintenance look to launch her charity's first ever fundraising gala at the weekend.

The actress hit the red carpet at the Dizzy Feet Foundation's Inaugural Celebration of Dance at The Kodak Theater in Hollywood wearing a cropped leather jacket over a black body-con mini dress that showed off her shapely legs.

Though her outfit seemed hurriedly put together, she appeared to have spent even less time on her straggly up-do.

To be fair, Tom Cruise's missus has been busy lately, juggling long days on the set of new movie The Romantics, with keeping daughter Suri amused.

Katie founded Dizzy Feet alongside Nigel Lythgoe, Adam Shankman and Carrie Ann Inaba to help give underprivileged kids access to dance training.
