Fans were first introduced to Katie Holmes on “Dawson’s Creek” when she was just a teenager. Growing up onscreen while enjoying a successful career throughout the years, the actress has gotten older right before our eyes. However, there are surely plenty of the star’s fans who have never seen what the star looked like as a child. Fortunately, Holmes has just shared a photo of herself as a little one to mark a special occasion: Her 47th birthday!
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, December 19, to pop up the super cute pic, little Holmes can be seen wearing a pair of striped overalls that boasted ruffles and a heart on the front, while she had a turtleneck on underneath.
Her shiny brown hair is worn long, while she has blunt, era-appropriate bangs.
On her face is an expression that we swear we’ve seen on her countless times while talking to Dawson or Pacey.
In the caption, she wrote, “Thank you to my beautiful family and friends for the wonderful birthday wishes. I am so grateful for this past year full of creativity, joy, and love. Thank you to all â¥ï¸”

Katie Is Embracing Her Age with ‘Gratitude’
Holmes isn’t afraid to embrace her age as well as her natural beauty, according to People. She also thinks that it’s inner beauty that’s key.
“I embrace my age with gratitude and I don’t worry about not having makeup on. My joy comes from within,” the actress told People.
At the same time, she’s still willing to take steps in order to look her best. She explained, “I drink a lot of water and try to eat a lot of vegetables to keep my skin as healthy as possible. I take care of my skin by cleaning it every morning and evening, [and] wearing a lot of hyaluronic [acid] serum and moisturizer.”
