Katie Holmes ditches her usually glamorous look and appears gaunt and thin in unflattering swimsuit

Katie Holmes abandoned her customary glamorous look and appeared gaunt and thin as she spent a day out with her family on a private Brazilian island.

The actress was clad in a fashionable asymmetrical swimsuit, but the cut of the costume only served to highlight her stick-thin figure and her unsupported bust.

She also ditched her towering heels in favour of flip flops and her usual perfectly coiffed hair was hidden under a headscarf, making her look almost unrecognisable.

Katie and Tom were spotted yesterday enjoying a day out with daughter Suri in Angra Dos Reis, a private island owned by famous Brazilian plastic surgeon Ivo Pitanguy.

It is a tropical island hotspot which is just an hour's flight from Rio de Janeiro where the family are staying.

The couple are in Brazil as part of Cruise's worldwide promotional tour for the film Valkyrie which opens in there tomorrow.

During their day out on the exclusive island they were all treated to an outdoor lunch and given a tour after arriving by helicopter.

Katie has recently looked tired and thin as her Broadway stint in the play All my Sons appeared to take its toll.

But she looked much healthier - and happier - as she left the Copacabane Palace Hotel in a cornflower sundress matched with designer shoes on Sunday.

She took off the dress and replaced the shoes with flip flops once she had reached the sand.

Suri lived up to her reputation as one of Hollywood's most stylish under-fives, in a series of dresses with smock detailing, and later she drew a crowd of young friends.

Local children swarmed to play with the tot and help her collect sea shells.

Her playmates were the children of military staff, as the Cruise family had chosen to hit the beach within the residential area of a Brazilian military base, presumably for security reasons.

Although the outing appeared relaxed, the family visited the beach amid heavy security after leaving their smart hotel in a four-car convoy.

At 5ft 9in, the latest Mrs Cruise, 29, is almost two inches taller than her husband - without any vertical assistance.

So heels usually leave Katie an extra four inches higher, noticeably dwarfing husband

Tom Cruise, 45, stands under 5ft 8in tall.

Meanwhile, Tom has been noted for his recent low-key garb.

The star appeared to have taken a capsule wardrobe on his trip as he toured Europe to promote his film.

The film star constantly recycled a combination of skin-tight knitted top with three-quarter length sleeves and black trousers, and a beach outfit of blue shorts and short sleeved shirt.
