Katie Holmes is a familiar face on TV for several years on Dawson's Creek, and on social media she's still showing off her looks - stretch marks and all - with pride in some new modeling photos. Holmes, 43, is a star of the television and big screen and has been in several acclaimed projects since her breakthrough role, including Thank You for Smoking and Coda. She is also a mother to daughter Suri, who she had with Tom Cruise. Pregnancy and giving birth is just one natural source of getting stretch marks; they simply happen when the skin is stretched or shrunk quickly. WebMD reports that anywhere between 50% to 90% of women have stretch marks. Holmes has provided an assuring reminder just how natural that is.
