Katie Holmes Wore Jeans and Gucci Ankle Boots for Her 40th-Birthday Dinner
Happy birthday, Katie Holmes! The actress just turned 40 years old. To celebrate, Holmes went out for a low-key dinner in New York City wearing a laid-back yet stylish outfit: a simple gray tee and jeans with a colorful sweater coat and designer accessories, including Gucci Leather Mid-Heel Ankle Boots ($1690) and the Fendi Peekaboo Essential Black and Beige Leather Handbag ($5400).
While you almost certainly don't need thousands of dollars of designer accessories, you can still emulate the way Holmes dressed up the classic tee-and-jeans combo. Plus, if the weather cooperates, a fun sweater-coat hybrid is a fresh alternative to your go-to black wool coat. Scroll down to see what Holmes wore to her 40th birthday dinner and shop the look for yourself.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
