She paired a jewel-tone skirt with a business casual staple.
Katie Holmes rarely misses an opportunity to make a statement with her street style, but her latest look is perhaps her most relatable yet. Stepping out for her Starbucks coffee run on November 20, the Our Town star donned a rather eclectic ensemble. It’s giving nonchalant Sunday morning, and even though it might technically go against traditional styling rules, it’s so random that it actually makes perfect sense.
Katie Holmes's Silk Skirt
To be fair, a colorful silk skirt is on its way to becoming a wardrobe essential, and it’s a silhouette that the longtime actress has gravitated toward before. Silk skirts are easy to style, can be worn with basically any shoe, and make the transition from summer to fall to winter dressing look practically seamless. Plus, opting for a jewel-tone one like Holmes is the perfect way to add a little dose of quiet luxury to almost any outfit.
A Unexpected Dose of Business Casual
Few people would think to pair a jewel-tone skirt with a peplum-style pinstripe button-up, however. The blouse adds a hint of business casual that feels out of place for a casual coffee run, and the combination of the two is precisely what makes this look so delightfully weird. Therein lies the genius of Holmes’s street style: a consistent hint at the unexpected that keeps us on our toes.
Katie Holmes's Statement Street Style
Speaking of Holmes’s street style, her looks have ranged from “polarizing” to “ugly” (in the best way) to “Joey Potter-coded,” all proving that she loves to make a statement. Of course, spotting her has become a near daily occurrence ever since the Broadway revival of Thornton Wilder’s legendary play Our Town.
Holmes’s role as Mrs. Webb in Our Town marks her first time on Broadway since playing Ann Deever in All My Sons back in 2008. She stars in the play alongside Jim Parsons and Zoey Deutch, who made her official Broadway debut when the show opened on October 10.
Katie Holmes's Down-to-Earth Styling Technique
The key to Katie Holmes’s street style is its approachability. Even when she wears pants that some fans might find polarizing, she manages to retain a sense of normalcy (not to be confused with normcore). For a world-famous celebrity, that’s no small feat.
