Katie Holmes' Sharp Street Style Is Your Relatable Fashion Playbook
The actress has mastered mixing staple and trend pieces with ease.

As far as everyday dressing goes, nobody's mastered cold-weather style like Katie Holmes. Though known for her roles in Dawson's Creek, Rare Objects, and more, the actress is also renowned for her easygoing and relatable wardrobe. From sharp suiting to comfy-cozy sweatpants, Holmes' best street style moments are fresh-feeling yet familiar, too.
In winter months, the actress often re-wears versatile and trendy pieces like knits, coats, denim, leather bags, and boots from brands including Patou, Chloé, Ulla Johnson, and Staud, to name a few. A core example is Holmes' recent outing in New York City, where she strolled in The Frankie Shop's camel coat, light blue jeans, and Adidas' black Samba OG sneakers. Red-framed sunglasses and layered gold necklaces gave her outfit a nostalgic edge.

Holmes also chicly hit the streets of New York in December 2023, wearing a gray overcoat, black sweater, and deep blue jeans by Another Tomorrow. The actress gave her look a smooth finish with black boots, while Patou's red Le Patou bag provided a trendy pop of color.

While picking up flowers and champagne—a winning combo— in Manhattan in November 2023, Holmes stepped out in a pair of cream boots from French label Nomasei. The actress' sharp shoes streamlined her mint green sweater, black leather coat, and white pants for a tricolored statement.

At the opening of her play 'The Wanderers,' Holmes revamped businesswoman style in a beige blazer and a white T-shirt tucked into a leather Kate Hundley skirt. The actress chicly warded off the winter chill by layering the look with sheer tights and classic pointed-toe pumps.
