Katie Holmes' playdate with her 'mini-me' daughter

Their latest excursion, however, was not without its fair share of difficulty. According to reports, the pair had initially planned to spend the day at the official party opening of Berlin's Fashion Week.

The Cruises are expected back to their home in LA imminently to welcome their close friends - and now neighbours - David and Victoria Beckham to America.
