Katie Holmes isn't afraid of the dark—a little dark dress, that is.

Suri's mom was lookin' darn pretty in a Contrarian minidress and Lanvin stilettos at last night's Los Angeles Film Festival closing-night screening of her latest movie, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. But we gotta admit, we were a little more interested to find out what she thinks of hubby Tom Cruise's work as an '80s hair band singer in the Rock of Ages flick. "My husband," Holmes gushed, "is blowing me away."

Fingers crossed that we'll feel the same.
