Katie Holmes' bodyguard carries her coat on the NYC set of her third directorial effort, Rare Objects

Katie Holmes' heavily-tattooed bodyguard dutifully carried her winter coat on the set of her third directorial effort, Rare Objects, in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood on Tuesday.

The Ohio-born 42-year-old had removed the beige coat she was wearing that morning once the temperature climbed from 56F degrees to an unseasonably warm 70F degrees.

Katie was wearing a purple pussy-bow blouse tucked into baggy, high-waisted black jeans and white sneakers.
