Getting exercise is an important part of life, and there are many benefits to getting a sweat daily. This goes for Katie, too. The former “Dawson’s Creek” star boasts that she exercises four times a week with a variety of spin classes, boxing classes, and yoga classes.
Good on her for staying active and living a healthy lifestyle. If we had the resources she does, we would probably do the same.
She's the Youngest of 5 Children
Anyone who grew up with a lot of siblings in their house will know how much fun a full house can be. When we think of actors, we think of self-entitled kids who never had to share anything, but Katie actually grew up in a large household, five children to be exact.
We can only imagine how much fun that was for her and her siblings. The best part is she says she is still close with her family to this day.
Katie Has Midwestern Roots
Katie Holmes is midwestern at heart! She was born in Toledo, Ohio, and regularly goes back to visit her family, who still lives there.
Toledo is where she spent most of her childhood. It's where she was baptized, where she went to school, where she starred in high school plays, and where she got to dip her toes in the turbulent water of show business.
She Is a Smarty Pants
While Katie has made a name for herself in acting, she had a promising academic career before then. She was a 4.0 student at the all-female academy she attended in Toledo and was even accepted into Columbia University after high school.
She only stayed a summer session at Columbia before moving to LA to pursue acting full-time. While she didn’t pursue academics, it is there if she ever wanted to go back to school.
Dr. Holmes?
Not everyone thought she was going to be a world-famous actress. In fact, her father wanted her to become a doctor. With the promise she showed in school, it is no wonder why he wanted her to pursue medicine.
She had the grades and potential to excel in the field, but it wasn’t what she wanted to do. While we don’t have Dr. Holmes saving lives today, life still turned out pretty great for her, as she got to follow her dreams.
School Plays
Before appearing in movies, Katie began acting on stage for school plays. Specifically, it was at a neighboring all-male high school, where she appeared in the school musicals “Hello, Dolly” and “Damn Yankees.”
It’s crazy to think that back then, the audience had no idea that the young woman who played a waitress and Lola (respectively) would go on to be the famous Katie Holmes. Makes us want to go back and look at our yearbooks to see who we knew before they were famous.
An Icy Start to Her Career
Katie’s big break was in the film “The Ice Storm,” where she played Libbets Casey. She acted alongside Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. That movie was loaded with talent and also starred future Spiderman (Tobey Maguire) and Frodo himself (Elijah Wood).
The movie went on to become critically acclaimed. Who knows where in the world she would be if she never sent in that audition tape?
She Didn’t Want to Slay
After her role in “The Ice Storm,” she was reportedly offered the lead role in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Sadly, she turned it down, and we were never graced with Katie as the stake-wielding fighter.
We wonder if she ever regrets that decision because the show would end up going on for seven seasons. 144 episodes were made! It is now a cult classic, and Sarah Michelle Gellar makes bank from the royalties she earns from the show each year.
Meet Us Down at Dawson’s Creek
All was not lost for Katie after she turned down Buffy. More was on the horizon as she landed the role of Joey Potter in “Dawson's Creek” in 1998. The show would go on to air for six seasons and turned Katie into a household name along with James Van Der Beek.
The show now lives on in internet fame with Van Der Beek's crying meme (a quick Google search will help you out in case you don't know what we're talking about).
She Is Committed and Loyal
“Dawson’s Creek” almost didn’t happen for Katie because she refused to audition in person. The audition overlapped with her opening night for “Damn, Yankees,” and she didn’t want to miss that opportunity.
Lucky for her, the producers allowed her to audition via videotape, and the rest is history. Apparently, the executive producer took one view of the tape and knew he had found his Joey Potter.
Babe of the Year in Sweden
If anyone wants to vote for us as the babe of the year, we will take it, no matter the country. We hope Katie feels the same way because she was voted “Babe of the Year” in 1998 by the Swedish newspaper Expressen Fredag.
It’s kinda cool knowing that you have a reach all across the world. So if any country or person, for that matter, wants to name us that, we will gladly take the honor.
Workplace Romance
Katie’s first love came when she met Joshua Jackson on the set of "Dawson’s Creek" in 1998. The love was incredible and indescribable, but sadly burned too quickly.
The pair called it quits in 1999, soon after the premiere of the first season. The two still remain close friends to this day, and she even considers him one of her best friends.
Breakthrough Performance
While “The Ice Storm” was her first performance, she was awarded a breakthrough performance award by MTV for her role as Rachel Wagner in “Disturbing Behavior.”
She did star alongside James Marsden in this film, but we don’t know why MTV thought so highly of this teen-horror movie. Not even two amazing actors in Katie and James could have saved this movie from itself.
Stop and “Go”
Katie did redeem herself after “Disturbing Behavior” flopped when she excelled in “Go.” This movie was met with a much better reception from audiences and movie critics alike.
It grossed over 28.5 million at the box office and has a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you should. It’s well worth the time spent watching and will keep you entertained the whole way through.
Her Scandalous Scene
While being nude on the silver screen isn’t uncommon, it’s not always popular. Katie’s first nude scene was for the movie “The Gift,” and the people of Ohio did not approve. It’s not always easy seeing someone you grew up with naked in a movie.
We probably would have been stunned, too. However, Katie is her own woman, and if she wants to do it, that is her choice. Power to her!
In Love With Chris Klein
In the early 2000s, Katie and Chris Klein were a part of the same red-carpet circles. They began talking and immediately hit it off. One thing led to another, and they were engaged a year later. Like most things that start that fast, they called things off in early 2005.
She had her eyes set on Tom Cruise and went to pursue that love interest. That one also ended like 50% of marriages— in divorce.
Hosting SNL
Hosting SNL is a dream of ours, and Katie got to live that dream in 2001. She was at the height of her fame, and SNL came calling. We can only imagine how fun and stressful getting ready for that was.
SNL is one of these iconic shows everyone would love to be a part of if only they were as famous as Katie to live out that dream. Regardless, her show went great, and they even got a standing ovation at the end.
She Dropped Everything for Her First Leading Role
Katie’s first leading role came in 2002 when she starred as Katie Burke in the 2002 thriller-mystery movie “Abandon.” The film did not receive great reviews and now has a 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The project has an excellent, star-studded cast with Katie, Ben Bratt, and Zooey Deschanel. Sadly, though, it goes to show that even the best acting team can’t help a bad script or bad directing.
Beautiful People Party
Sweden was not the only country that found Katie hot — America did, too. In 2003, she was named among the “50 Most Beautiful People” by People magazine and “25 Hottest Stars Under 25” by Teen People.
Her looks caught the attention of a lot of people, and they couldn’t get enough of her at her peak. But again, she has always been about more than just her looks. She's also known as a great actress and a kind person.
Batman’s Lover
Her first major breakthrough came when she landed the role of Rachel Dawes in the 2005 film “Batman Begins.” She starred alongside Christian Bale, and the movie came out to much fanfare.
Unfortunately, we don’t know why, but she did not reprise her role in the subsequent movie. Did she have some type of fight with Christopher Nolan? Was she unpleased with her character? Whatever the reason was, Maggie Gyllenhaal ended up replacing her.
Rachel Dawes Was Created for Kaite
Some people might not know, but Rachel Dawes was created specifically for Katie Holmes. The character doesn’t exist in any of the DC Comics, but Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer created the role and thought Katie would be the perfect actress to bring Rachel to life.
It turned out great, and she was perfect as Bruce’s childhood sweetheart in “Batman Begins.” Of course, the fact the role was created for her makes us wonder what happened that made her leave the role behind.
Marriage Impossible
Katie started dating Tom Cruise in the spring of 2005 and quickly fell in love. They got married in 2006, but the love didn’t last forever; it barely lasted at all. They only managed to stay married for 6 years before the couple divorced in 2012.
Some outlets say Scientology played the biggest role in the pair’s split, but both parties publicly deny it did. Whatever the reason, we hope they are friendly now, even if at least in front of their child, Suri.
Immortalized in Songs
Katie is of such cultural influence that she has been immortalized in a few different songs. British artist Firexit, punk-rock band Bowling for Soup, and even a small, obscure Japanese band all mention her in their songs.
Firexit went the furthest, with two songs being written about her. Bowling for Soup and the Japanese band both mention her by name. We can only imagine how cool it would be to be referenced in music that will live on well after we are gone.
It’s Just a Phase
We all have experimented while we were younger, even Katie. When she was dating Tom Cruise, she dabbled in Scientology for a bit. The actress was originally raised Catholic but began studying the religion when she and Tom started to date.
The experiment only lasted as long as their marriage, and in 2012, after their divorce, she left the church for good.
Holmes Was Tom’s Third Divorce
They say the first marriage ends in divorce 50% of the time, and the second marriage is up to 60%. For the “lucky” people who make it to the third, we guess the chance of divorce is even higher than 60%. Maybe Katie should have seen the end coming when she said “I do” and became Tom’s third wife.
It’s never a good sign when your husband has been this controversial, and it’s even worse when he has two ex-wives.
She Can Read Minds?
We feel close to our siblings. They are literally someone we would run through a wall for. Well, for Katie, that connection might be even stronger.
She claims she feels a telepathic connection to her sister and can tell when her sister is about to call her. The two are not twins, but it sounds like they have some type of twin-like connection, which is pretty cool if you ask us.
Early Modeling Career
Katie has been scouted for her looks since she was little. She was 16 when she competed in her first modeling contest and would go on to have a successful amateur teen career in modeling.
She won a number of awards both domestically and abroad and was known for her monologue recitation of "To Kill a Mockingbird." It's no wonder she was later included in many "Most Beautiful Actors" lists.
She Knows a Good Lawyer
They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, but that wasn’t the case for Katie. Her dad, Joseph Holmes Sr. was a lawyer who specialized in divorces, and her mother, Kathleen Ann (Craft) was a philanthropist.
She didn’t follow either of their footsteps as a career, but we think she turned out pretty well, falling a bit further from the tree in her case.
She Owns a House in Wilmington
When you know something is right, you just know it's right. Well, that is what happened when Katie traveled to Wilmington for the filming of “Dawson’s Creek” and fell in love with the area.
She decided to buy a house there, and she still owns the property to this day. We probably would have done the same if we were in the same location filming for 10 months out of the year.
Turning Down Michael Lehmann
Katie knows what she wants and does not have a problem turning down roles she does not want. One example of a role she turned down was the lead role in Michael Lehmann's early 2000s rom-com “40 Days and 40 Nights.”
While we would also have waited 40 days and 40 nights to court Katie given the opportunity, she has done well despite turning it down. She probably is thankful she did because the movie does have a 39% on Rotten Tomatoes.
A Mainstay on “Dawson’s Creek”
Actors staying for the entire duration of a show is rare. Well, when the curtain finally fell for “Dawson’s Creek” in 2003, Katie was the only actor to have appeared in all 128 episodes. That’s pretty impressive for a show that went on for 6 seasons. Not even James Van Der Beek can say that!
We loved watching her, and she was easily our favorite character. No, it’s not because she was in every episode.
She Co-Starred With Michael Keaton
In 2004, Katie Holmes was cast alongside Michael Keaton and Marc Blucas in “First Daughter.” She played Samantha Mackenzie, daughter of the US President. The movie follows her as she heads off to college, which isn't easy, being the daughter of such a high-profile man.
She ends up falling for Marc Blucas, who plays a graduate student at her university. It’s a fun rom-com and worth a watch if you have some time to kill.
Award Winning Role
While it was in a lesser-known award, Katie still got recognition for her role in “Batman Begins.” She earned a nomination for a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as childhood sweetheart to Bruce Wayne.
She didn’t win, but it’s still cool to be nominated. We don't want to ruin the party, but we also have to say she got awarded a Golden Raspberry for Worst Supporting Actress for the same role. Yikes.
Being a Part of a Power Couple
Some people may forget, but Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were quite a power couple. Yes, back in the early 00s, they were considered the holy grail of Hollywood romance. They held the title together with other famous celebrity couples, like Brangelina and Bennifer.
Anyways, TomKat was also thought to be invincible, but sadly, cracks formed over time. TomKat just became Tom and Katie after their divorce, and that was probably for the best.
Katie Is the Centerfold
If you go back through your old “Vanity Fair” magazines, you will find an edition where Katie Holmes donned the cover. Yes, it was also with her daughter and with Tom Cruise, but she was still on the cover! That is more than we can say.
The photoshoot was done by world-famous photographer Annie Leibovitz and is a great cover if we are speaking honestly. The family may not have been perfect, but the photo is close to it.
Getting Married in Italy
On November 18th, 2006, Katie Married Tom Cruise at a 15th Century Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy. The castle overlooks the water. It's a place so beautiful that anyone would love to get married there if they had the budget for it.
We would even think about getting married to a Scientologist if it meant having those views. We are kidding, but we did think about it.
Falling in Love in Paris
The city of love is known for many things, and engagements are one of them. We couldn’t think of anything more romantic than having someone get down on their knee for us in front of the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower.
Tom Cruise also thought so when he proposed to Katie there. The engagement photos were lovely! If only the marriage were as timeless as those photos...
Dreams Coming True
Sure, Katie is special, but she's not THAT special — she had a childhood dream of marrying Tom Cruise, just like the rest of us. Who didn’t have a childhood dream to marry Tom Cruise when they were little? He was the hunk from “Top Gun,” and everyone and their mother wanted him.
We were a little more than hot and bothered after that volleyball scene with Goose, and if he had put a ring on us, we would have been in heaven, too. So maybe living this dream does make her THAT special.
Slow Fashion
All good things take time, but four years? Well, that’s how long it took Katie to get her first fashion line to New York Fashion Week.
She started her high fashion clothing line, Holmes & Yang, with longtime stylist Jeanne Yang all the way back in 2008, but the pair didn’t have anything ready until 2012. The line was well received, so we guess it was worth the wait.
They Can Dance if They Want To
Everyone loves to boogie, even Katie Holmes! She loved it so much that she created her own dance scholarship fund to help aspiring dancers reach their dreams. She did this alongside Nigel Lythgoe, Adam Shankman, and Carrie Ann Inaba.
The foundation is called the Dizzy Feet Foundation. Now, young dancers who are awarded this scholarship can boogie until their feet ache.
Scared of Scientology
Katie left Scientology after her split with Tom Cruise in 2012. However, that didn’t mean Scientology was done with her. Katie has openly admitted she feared intimidation by the Church of Scientology for leaving and had reason to fear they would try to abduct her daughter Suri.
Luckily, they didn’t attempt the latter, but it made her rethink ever joining in the first place.
Still Active on TV
While “Dawson’s Creek” ended in 2003, that did not mean Katie Holmes was done with television. The actress didn’t want to ride off into the sunset with her role on “Dawson’s Creek,” and the trajectory she took far exceeded our expectations.
She has been quite active in the medium and has had numerous roles in shows like “The Kennedys,” “How I Met Your Mother,” and “Ray Donovan.”
No, It’s Just Kate
Oftentimes, when people have Katie as their name, it is short of Katherine or Katelin. Well, apparently, that's not the case for Katie Holmes. Her legal first name is just “Kate.” It took us by surprise, too, but we read her birth certificate, and that’s what is listed.
Look it up yourself if you don’t believe us, but you will find we tell the truth. We wonder if it was out of uniqueness or whether her parents didn’t want to spell out Katherine in the hospital.
A Friend That Never Was
Apparently, Holmes was supposed to perform on the hit TV show “Friends.” She was originally scheduled to have a three-episode arc but had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts.
Sadly, we will never know if she is going to couple up with Ross, Chandler, or Joey. However, if we had to place a bet on it, our money would be on Joey. Who wouldn’t fall for his “How you doin'?” bit?
She Has Pipes Too
Katie is best known for her acting chops, but some people don’t know that she can sing, too. Unlike other actors (Scarlett Johanson and Jeremy Renner, for example), she has never pursued it professionally.
But let us tell you that she does have the pipes to sing with the best of them. If you don’t believe us, check out the episode of “Dawson’s Creek,” where she sings “On My Own” from Les Miserables. She brought down the house and made us tear up when we watched.
Her First Concert
Everyone remembers their first concert. Most of the time, it's when you're in your early teens at one fair or another with your mom. For Katie, it was Whitney Houston with her mom and sister.
How cool would it have been to see her on stage singing “I Will Always Love You” with 10,000 fans screaming for her? Probably a little cooler than what most of us got to watch, but we loved our first time even if it wasn’t Whitney.
A Quiet Birth
Scientology has a lot of unique traditions, one of those being that they recommend having a quiet birth. This means that everyone in the birthing room should refrain from speaking, even the nurses encouraging the mother to push.
Katie found herself in this situation when she was giving birth to her daughter. We don’t know if she stayed silent, but to us, the whole concept sounds nearly impossible.
Moving to New York
Sometimes, you just need to get away and reset after a divorce, and that is exactly what Katie did after her split with Tom. Katie and Suri moved to New York, where they hoped to escape the chaos of Los Angeles.
It worked, and now all they had to deal with were the honkings of horns and the people walking on the sidewalk. The mother-daughter duo can be seen running errands and doing other daily things in the concrete jungle.
She’s a Gym Bro
Getting exercise is an important part of life, and there are many benefits to getting a sweat daily. This goes for Katie, too. The former “Dawson’s Creek” star boasts that she exercises four times a week with a variety of spin classes, boxing classes, and yoga classes.
Good on her for staying active and living a healthy lifestyle. If we had the resources she does, we would probably do the same.
She Found a Foxx-y Man
After her divorce from Tom in 2012, the paparazzi spotted Katie and Jamie Foxx together in the Hamptons in 2013. The couple didn’t make their relationship official until 2015, so we assume it was a secret until then.
The pair spent 6 years together before their mutual split in 2019. Both stated that their different lives were the reason for the split.
If You Can’t Stand the Heat, Get Out of the Kitchen
Katie probably doesn’t like to be single for long. Right after her relationship with Jamie Foxx ended, rumors quickly swirled about her new relationship with the chef Emilio Vitolo Jr. They were first spotted in NYC, but this love only lasted eight months.
The two simply didn’t work out and wanted to focus on different things in their lives. It’s sad, and even sadder, that now she won’t have the same access to his food anymore.
Fashion Queen?
Katie Holmes has had her share of extraordinary fashion moments and memorable moments in the industry. At the 2014 Met Gala, Holmes arrived in a super-bright, mustard-colored yellow dress by Marchesa. Perhaps she was trying to channel Belle from "Beauty and the Beast." However, something just got lost in translation, and the off-colored, off-the-shoulder dress scored her a spot on several worst-dressed lists that year.
In fact, that year’s event has been called the “worst-dressed Met Gala ever.” The theme was “Charles James: Beyond Fashion.” Charles Wilson James was one of the most prominent fashion designers of the 20th century, but since the theme was quite dated, it may explain why it was dubbed one of the worst-dressed gala events.
Back to Black
There is so much more to Katie Holmes than Tom Cruise and the television series "Dawson's Creek." Holmes famously made a transition to film, where she achieved success and became one of the most notable actresses in the industry and she also became one of the most glamorous women on the carpet.
As for this choice of black dress on the red carpet, Katie went for a more sophisticated look and amazed the crowds with this unique piece. We are still unsure if it's a long sweater dress or a cute knit with some strategically placed rips. Either way, we love the uniqueness, and we love her thinking out of the box.
Make On or Make off
Katie Holmes is one of those celebs who just seems to defy aging. What's her secret? Good old-fashioned shut-eye (and probably some good genes). Holmes loves to sleep, and that has led her to learn to do her makeup as quickly as possible.
She stays in bed as long as she can and then rushes through a 20-minute morning beauty routine. And just in case all that extra sleep doesn’t keep her looking refreshed, Holmes carries a bit of blush in her purse for beauty emergencies. There are some people who have to invest money and time so they can stay tip-top at all times, and Holes is living proof that you do not need much to preserve the glam.
Her Insecurities
When it comes to Katie Holmes's insecurities, what turns out to be the biggest issue is actually her thighs! Who would have thought? According to the American actress, she really hates that part of her body. Holmes shared that she does her best to accept her imperfections, but nevertheless, her way of dealing with this specific one is simply covering her thighs whenever possible.
Personally, we think it's a real shame! All that glitters is not gold, and Katie Holmes just proves that even the biggest Hollywood stars have issues with the way they look. The bad publicity and the ongoing rumors obviously don't add to this.
The Nanny
Like all number-one celebs, Katie Holmes has her share of behind-the-scenes stories she wished she could make disappear. One of them is the story about the nanny she had when her daughter was growing up. Katie Holmes once fired a nanny because she allowed her daughter Suri to paint her bedroom wall black. But it wasn’t all the nanny’s fault.
Suri's famous mother said Suri could paint her bedroom walls with any kind of decoration she wanted. She gave her free reign so she could express her creative side. Katie, expecting a colorful mural, did not appreciate Suri’s apparent affinity for modern art, so the nanny was canned.
She Was a Cheerleader
When Katie was just six years old, she found herself cheering her older sister on the basketball court. This was obviously not a professional high school or college cheering, but she had pompoms in her hands and a great big smile on her face.
From a very young age, Holmes loved the stage, and the court was a great place to practice her skills and work on expressing herself in front of an audience. Who would have thought that a short mini skirt would turn into a red carpet gown and the pompoms turn into a Best Supporting Actress award?
The Rich Heiresses Suri Cruise
The small Cruise is not so small anymore! The young lady is a fashionista, and we’ve had our eye on this one since she was just a 5-year-old! Little Cruise is set to inherit quite a large sum of money. Tom Cruise is worth almost half a billion, and Katie is worth over eight figures! Suri is set to inherit close to $300 million. Now, that’s more than enough to fund a designer wardrobe any shopaholic woman would be envious of.
Suri received quite a lot of press when she was born. As she grew, the toddler was snapped for her stylish outfits, which mother Holmes at the time would say were of her own choosing. Since then, Suri has grown up with both her parents supporting her, despite the fact the pair split several years ago. But hey, on the positive side (not that we’re saying money buys you happiness), she’s got enough money to live comfortably for the rest of her life – and she’s already about town enjoying those privileges!
All My Sons
Not too many know this, but Katie Holmes has a history in respected theater. She is not only about midweek shows and romcoms or Batman movies. Holmes starred in the Broadway production of "All My Sons," where she showcased her great theater abilities.
This was in 2008, and the critiques of her performance were diverse, however, to most, she was absolutely phenomenal and took the audience's breath away. Some critics explain that Holmes's performance was good, however, the directing of the show got in her way and would not allow her to express herself and sink into the role completely.
Hola Katie
Katie Holmes is a super-intelligent and talented woman, and besides her acting skills, she speaks fluent Spanish. She is able to comfortably communicate with colleagues in Spanish, and we know how many Spanish speakers are in the industry.
Not only that, but her language skills have opened up doors for her and have widened the opportunities she has in her career. We have not yet seen her in a Spanish-speaking role, in the movies, or on the theater stage, but who knows, maybe one day she'll surprise us and deliver something new, exciting, exotic, and all with a Spanish flavor.
Here She Falls Again
Katie is a huge fashion icon, and there are some big fashion moments we must stop and look at carefully. We love seasonal designs when they are in seasonal colors, as this next design would not be the same in any other shade. Take a look at this exquisite dress designed by Ulla Johnson and worn by the stunning Katie Holmes. The color combination of maroon, orange, and purple works tremendously well, and the court couldn't be more flattering.
Layers, layers, and more layers are, without a doubt, the theme of this creation, and the unexpected featured turtle neck is what makes this dress so special and different. Black boots are obviously the perfect choice for this look, transforming the ambiance from chilly fall evenings to cold winter nights. Katie, you looked stunning.
Hot In Pink
Katie didn't have to pose to the camera the way she did here, and even if she were standing behind a wall, we would still be speechless. This is much more than a white suit and much more than a pair of pink heels. The hot pinks are made of silk, which, at the end of the day is a matter of personal taste, and even if you are not a big fan of the color or the fabric, there is no way anyone could stay oblivious to this.
The white suit has stirrup detail on the pants, which threw us back to the 1980s, but here they seem to work. There is no doubt that when Katie left her home this evening, the purpose was to go out there and be seen.
Metalic Mama
There are a lot of details about this next fashion moment that are impossible to see because of the overcoat Katie was wearing, but no worries, we are here to fill you in all of the details. For the FilmAid Power in November 2019, the gorgeous star arrived in a dazzling metallic dress that featured a lacy thigh-high slit, and although it covered most of her body, it left no room for imagination.
The smoky eyeshadow and delicate rosy blush were perfect; however, the most eye-catching part was what was on her feet. They were secretly hidden beneath the long dress, but we are here to tell you that we are talking about up to the knee lepered designed stunning boots.
A Fall Fashion Icon
For years, Katie Holmes has been a fashion icon, and especially for fall collections, she wears to perfection. In November 2019, after passing her 40th birthday, the star was seen in a bright orange tweed jacket accompanied by striped wide-leg cropped jeans from Chanel’s previous year's collection.
To complete the outfit, Katie kept it simple, She wore a whiter t-shirt and pointed white slingbacks which completed the impressive look, however this was not all. The centerpiece was, without doubt, her new Chanel 19 bag, which splashed prestige all over the place, both for the actress and the brand.
Little Black Dress
At Nordstrom’s NYC Flagship Store Launch Party Katie went for all black. She wore a cute little black mini dress together with classic black pumps. The dress was designed by Saint Laurent, and the heels were delivered by Giuseppe Zanotti. What upgraded the Katies's atelier was, with no doubt, the stockings.
The transparent polka dot style spiced things up, and instead of a classic yet boring appearance, Katie provided a fun, young, and sophisticated look. If you would ever want to adopt this look, start counting your dollars, as the stiletto heels alone are priced at just a little under $700.
More Than Just a Beautiful Dress
Naturally, Katie Holmes didn't disappoint and provided another astonishing look at the recent events she was attending. The dress was designed by Chloe's fall 2019 collection, and it looked as if it was customer-made. The powerful colors of navy and tangerine were delicately blended together and were cleverly combined with touches of cream and detailed flowers so that the creation looked alive and vibrant.
To many, this dress had a Parisian touch to it, and we can see why. It is timeless and classic and works amazingly well with the flat Egyptian sandals Katie had on. As for her accessories, the matching blue bag and delicate jewelry were exactly what was needed.
Katie Glow Up
Katie had been revealing exciting and glamorous outfits, one after the other, and in September 2019, there were no signs of her stopping. She is seen here on her way to a Global Citizen event where she was invited to speak, and she couldn't have chosen a better outfit for the occasion. The blue suit, with the jacket tied at the east, is absolutely amazing.
It was designed by Gabriela Hearst and is perfectly accompanied by a Mercedes bag, a creation from the same fashion house. The tailoring work on this piece is impeccable and delivers a strong statement of power, strength, and individuality.
So Many Things For Such Little Effort
Katie Holmes doesn't have to do much to dassel our eyes. She can wear a simple pair of dark jeans together with a cute Pettit cream-colored jacket, and she is ready to wow the streets of New York. The secret is which accessories you add. For this sophisticated and elegant look, Katie carried her Chanel Gabrielle Hobo bag, which upgraded the simplicity of her clothes.
The star of the show has got to be Gianvito Rossi Vamp Booties. They are picture-perfect and make the star shine. This look could easily be paired with simple sneakers, turning the upperclass appearance into a common casual one.
Summer Suit in Black and White
This next entry is fresh out of the Ulla Johnson Spring 2018 collection. The black and white floral top and skirt set are everything you need when attending a prestigious event on a hot summer day, and Ktie knew this too when she was invited to the BVLGARI world premiere screening of “The Conductor” and “The Litas.”
The star added a dazzling necklace, a creation by Bvlgari jewelry, which upgraded the relatively simple choice of clothes. Black strapped heels perfectly accompanied the black and white outfit; however, this would work just as well with a pair of flats.
Stunning in Silver
One of the best things about Fashion Week in the Big Apple is that you get a chance to see your favorite stars wearing the designer's best atelier. Here, we see Katie Holmes in a complete Ralph Lauren look, or in other words, sparkling in silver. The naturally glittering star was sitting in the front row, wrapped in a vintage biker's jacket in metallic silver, which suited the star's new edgy attitude toward life.
One of the best things about what she is wearing is that it all blends, and although not everything is exactly in the same shade, the colors all have the same tone and energy. Ralph Lauren, for sure, made a statement, and so did Katie.
