    Katie Holmes is back in the game!

    Katie Holmes has followed in the statuesque footsteps of Tom Cruise's other ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, and splashed out on many, many pairs of high heels in the wake of their divorce.

    On ending her ten-year marriage to Cruise, Kidman famously said that she was thrilled to be able to wear heels again. A sentiment shared by Holmes, if her latest shopping spree is anything to go by.

    According to reports, Katie has marked her newfound single status by splashing out on 15 pairs of Christian Louboutin heels and dropping some serious cash on lingerie.

    It's thought that the former Mrs Tom Cruise has spent 'around $14,200 (£8,900) on sexy lingerie and undergarments alone,' in an effort to overhaul her wardrobe.

    'She went on a tear at Barneys New York department store, buying a closet's worth of clingy cocktail dresses and power suits to wear to auditions and meetings,' a source told The National Enquirer. 'Her attitude is: "Look out New York, Katie's back in the game!"'

    It sounds very sensible to us!
