Makeup-free Katie Holmes does her own heavy lifting as she carries a large box ... trends now

Katie Holmes did her own heavy lifting while running errands in her New York City, where she moved back in 2012 following her split from ex-husband Tom Cruise.

The Alone Together star, 45, certainly had her hands full as she stepped out with a  ginormous box, which was secured with clear duct tape on the top and bottom.

While out and about on Wednesday, the mother-of-one looked effortlessly chic in a white blouse, flared jeans and a black leather handbag, which she wore over her shoulder.

The Dawson's Creek alum completed her laid-back look with a pair of oversized black sunglasses and brown loafers. 

While she had a hair tie around her wrist, in case she wanted to throw her hair up later, she opted to keep her long, straight brown hair down, behind her shoulders.

Holmes opted to show off her natural beauty by wearing minimal makeup, apart from a light-weight foundation and blush.

Holmes welcomed Suri on April 18, 2006 with Cruise, 61. 

She and Cruise began dating in April 2005 and Holmes, who grew up Catholic, began studying Tom's religion Scientology. 

Seven months after the birth of their first and only child, Tom and Katie tied the knot in November 2006 during a Scientology ceremony held at Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy. 

Katie shocked fans while she filed to divorce Tom in June 2012. She was eventually granted primary custody of Suri.

It's been reported that Tom has rarely seen his daughter in the last 11 years despite being afforded visitation rights.

Last month, Suri rang in her 18th birthday in New York City
