There are few celebrities whose outfits intrigue me quite as much as Katie Holmes. Whilst she has a rock-solid sense of personal style, she's also not one to shy away from a new-season trend, weaving them into her daily looks with a seemingly effortless ease I could only dream of.
Take her most recent look for example. At first glance, it's a simple silhouette, but when you look a little closer, you can appreciate how masterfully Holmes has balanced the timeless pieces in her wardrobe with trending buys. Leaning into some Old Hollywood classics, Holmes styled a pair of dark cream tailored trousers with a breezy cotton shirt neatly tucked in, refining her look with a sleek and sophisticated shoe trend already dominating the season.
What really gave her outfit that elegant Old Hollywood energy was the subtle detailing across her trousers. Choosing a high-waited silhouette—the cut that dominated the period—Holmes's trousers included considered front-pleat detailing that added volume and structure to her silhouette whilst also giving off a tailored effect that made them feel particularly sleek.
Tucking in a breezy blue shirt, she kept to the tailoring theme, leaning into her classic wardrobe staples that deliver sophistication in droves. Finally, instead of opting for classic white trainers or Mary Janes, the actor selected a pair of trending almond-toe ballet flats in a fresh white shade, adding lightness and brightness to her spring ensemble, without having to incorporate excess colour. Pinching into a blunted point, Holmes's ballet flats worked in tandem with her high-waisted trousers to elongate her legs without the aid of heels.
Giving her look a modern edge, Holmes slung a black-and-green leather bag over her shoulder, adding a little colour into her look in a way that enhanced her neutral outfit, rather than distracting from it. Timeless and sophisticated yet perfectly on-trend, read on to discover her chic take on spring style.
