Holmes' honeymoon lingerie

(BANG) - Katie Holmes has reportedly splashed out over $3,000 on sexy underwear for her wedding night with Tom Cruise.

The 'Batman Begins' actress visited West Hollywood's La Bra Lingerie, where she bought a collection of racy lingerie including a special $1000 'bridal collection' set.

A source is quoted by website MSNBC as saying: "They weren't all white - and they certainly weren't virginal. But she's a mother, so I guess that's appropriate."

The 27-year-old actress' purchases included a Chantilly lace bridal collection with a bra costing $440, a $340 thong, a garter belt for $220, and silk stockings that cost $95.

Katie, who is set to marry Tom on November 18, also chose a silk nightgown with a matching robe trimmed with ostrich feathers that set her back $620, a lace bra with Swarovski crystals for $380 and matching thong with crystals for $175.

Her lingerie spree ended with two sets of silk pyjamas and matching robes at $425 each.

Meanwhile, Tom arrived in Rome yesterday (13.11.06) with a ten-strong entourage.

The 'Top Gun' actor arrived in a private jet at Rome's Ciampino Airport and was driven to his hotel under police escort.

It has been reported that as Tom, 44, is a Scientologist and Katie was raised a Catholic they will have two marriage ceremonies.

But the 'Mission: Impossible' star's plans have run into trouble as he is a divorcee, and the Catholic church does not permit remarriage in a Catholic ceremony.

However, Tom's representative, Arnold Robinson, said: "All of the proper and necessary arrangements are being made."
