Katie Holmes is known for her adventurous style, but this unusual look was for her new role.
The 36-year-old actress had the hungry grin of a down and out woman as she filmed a scene at Walmart in Queens, New York on Tuesday.
Katie plays a single mother in the upcoming drama All We Had, in which she also makes her feature directorial debut, and she made it look all so real while combing the aisles with her shopping cart
The star sported choppy short locks and was even missing a tooth, courtesy of movie make-up magic.
The toothless, lopsided grin did its job and caught the eye as Katie loaded up the cart with Cheetos, cleaning supplies and other items.
Katie’s willowy figure was clad in a tiny denim, zip-up mini-dress that showed off her bare shoulders, arms and toned long legs.

She really got into her role, and her gauntness and visible weakness certainly wrung the heart.
Then again, she is playing a poor mom who must support her 13-year-old daughter by herself.
Stefania Owen, who plays Katie’s daughter in the movie, was also seen acting out a scene with Katie who appeared to be rolling her eyes over what the younger actress had to say.
All We Had is based on the novel by Annie Weatherwax, and Katie liked it so much that she optioned it last year in order to bring it to the big screen.
The coming-of-age story, set during the worldwide financial crisis of 2008, follows the mother and daughter as they move to the small town of Grand River, Ohio, as reported by Deadline.com.
The script has been penned by The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone, and the movie will be produced by Jane Rosenthal and Berry Walsh through Tribeca Productions.
Also on Katie’s plate is the Reelz miniseries The Kennedys: After Camelot, a follow-up to 2011′s The Kennedys.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Katie will star as Jackie Kennedy and direct one of the series’ four episodes, as well as executive produce.
Jon Cassar, who directed all eight episodes of The Kennedys will direct the other three episodes of The Kennedys: After Camelot.
