Katie's Missing Nude Scene
After receiving harsh reviews for her turn in 2005's Batman Begins, Holmes also causes a stir at the Sundance Film Festival. At the screening of Thank You for Smoking, a nude sex scene between Holmes and costar Aaron Eckhart is mysteriously cut, leaving the movie's writer-director, Jason Reitman, shocked. The scene is later reinstated in the theatrical release.
Baby Suri Arrives
Holmes gives birth to 7 lb. 7 oz. Suri in a L.A.-area hospital. The delivery is so smooth that Holmes leaves the hospital within 24 hours. When the couple keeps their daughter under wraps for months, Suri becomes Hollywood's most mysterious baby. Wild stories circulate.
Suri's Big Reveal
After months of speculation and reports on her whereabouts, Suri makes her debut with her parents on the cover of Vanity Fair, photographed by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz. "This is my future," Holmes tells the magazine. "This is my family and I care so much about them."

Fashionista-In-Training
The low-key girl, who couldn't pronounce Badgley Mischka on the red carpet in 1998, undergoes a style transformation. Often photographed shopping and in the front row of fashion shows, Holmes poses for the cover of Harper's Bazaar. Close friend and fashion maverick Victoria "Posh" Beckham styles her for the photo shoot.
Mommy Mode
After chopping her hair and appearing more fashionable than ever, Holmes is featured in a PEOPLE cover story. It follows her transformation from all-American girl to couture-clad mommy with 1-year-old Suri. The 28-year-old star "has a serenity about her," says Callie Khouri, her director on the bank heist comedy Mad Money. "I just think she's in a really happy place. She's obviously in love – with Tom and with her child."
