Katie Holmes has spent $15,000 on lingerie and bought 15 pairs of Louboutin shoes following her split from Tom Cruise.

The actress - whose divorce from the actor was finalised earlier this week - reportedly went on a lavish spending spree to cheer herself up following the breakdown of her five-year marriage.

A source told National Enquirer magazine: "Katie treated herself to a lavish post-split pick me up shopping spree. She splurged on nearly $15,000 worth of sexy lingerie and undergarments alone.

"She also bought 15 pairs of pricey Christian Louboutin shoes and went on a tear at Barneys New York department store, buying a closet's worth of clingy cocktail dresses and power suits to wear to auditions and meetings."

Katie - who has a six-year-old daughter, Suri, with Tom - is also said to have been consulting with various "life coaches" to get a new direction to go with her new look.

The source added: "She wants to show the world who she really is - a beautiful, confident and talented woman balancing single motherhood and a thriving career.

"Now she's ready to roar, she's interviewing life coaches to help deprogram all the crap Tom filled her head with.

"Katie is willing to shell out whatever it takes to reclaim her fabulous looks and personality and relaunch her career."
