This isn't the girl-next-door look we're used to!

Katie Holmes turned up the sex appeal for the Donna Karan runway show on Feb. 10. Rocking a daring black leather dress with a completely see-through skirt, the mum of one looked a bit edgier than usual - though still totally glam and gorgeous.

When she stepped outsite Katie layered on even more leather, bundling up in a buttery motorcycle jacket.

To complement the sexy look, Katie, 35, rocked messy, just-rolled-out-of-bed waves and kept her makeup soft and natural.

But it wasn't just her appearance that left us happily surprised - it was the fact that Katie seemed to be cosying up to 23-year-old Rita Ora (who did her own, more obvious, take on the sexy LBD).

We have to admit, these two seem like an unlikely pair. But it would be kind of fun to see them sharing coffee dates and shopping sprees BFF-style.

Oh, and ladies? We're free for lunch this week!
