Reporting for duty! Katie Holmes has that just rolled out of bed look in plaid shirt and comfy sweat pants on set of All We Had

This outfit was a lot more comfortable looking than the tiny denim mini-dress she had to wear on camera the day before.

Katie Holmes must have breathing a sigh of relief as she arrived to the upstate New York set of her new drama All We Had on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old actress was clad in casual lounging attire that consisted of a cosy button-down red plaid shirt and matching mauve track trousers.

While it's not clear whether she would be wearing the comfy clothes in a scene, which that day was shot at a petrol station, Katie seemed to appreciate the loose fit.

Her newer, shorter 'do was a choppy layer of waves and large-framed shades concealed her eyes from view.

Katie clasped the collar closer while strolling among the parked cars in her flat-heeled sandals.

Her complexion appeared to be freshly scrubbed, suggesting she had yet to visit the movie make-up department.

Katie plays a poor single mother in the movie - which she is also directing and executive producing - and she won't be seen as her usual glamorous self.

The actress' role requires her to be on the dowdy side, and her character is also missing a tooth.

That's quite a stretch: Katie tugged down on her very short hem between scenes in Queens, NY on Tuesday

On Tuesday, Katie was spotted filming a sequence that required her to wear an extremely tight-fitting, tiny denim zip-up dress.

She was seen tugging down on the hem and pulling up the top between takes, suggesting the attire is a lot less than she's used to.

The ex-wife of Tom Cruise plays the role of Rita Carmichael, a single mother struggling to get by in the wake of the 2008 financial collapse.

Stefania Owen, who plays Katie's daughter Ruthie 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.

Later on Tuesday, the star was dressed in a pair of floral leggings with a brown flannelette shirt, which hung loosely on her.

Katie appeared rather tired which was no doubt a combination of her character's make-up and the fact she is also directing the film, juggling her on-screen and off-screen duties accordingly.

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.
