While Katie mugged for the camera, Bella got her hair trimmed by stylist Enzo Angileri and Suri played dress-up. (A pair of Louboutin mules in particular caught the 4-year-old's eye.)

Healthy food options kept the momentum going during the cover shoot. What was served? Caprese salad and spinach salad with gorgonzola, nuts, and cranberries as well as salmon, chicken, and fresh peaches. Katie drank a Diet Coke — she tries to limit herself to one a day — and ordered a tall iced coffee with soy from Starbucks.

Katie discussed accessories with the crew. During the shoot, Holmes sported a multi-strand necklace by Janis Savitt worn as a bracelet, a Stephen Webster spider bracelet, and her own rings. Even better, MC gifted her a Helen Ficalora necklace — she picked out her own charms — and Suri made one for herself with a diamond "S" and a diamond heart.
