Katie Holmes: The Birth of a Fashion Icon in 13 Striking Looks

She’s been rocking street looks and making notable red carpet appearances. Katie Holmes confirms her status as a fashion icon with matching outfits, impeccably cut dresses, and perfectly chosen accessories. Focus on 13 of the actress’s fashion successes.

Fashion is (finally) letting the spotlight shine on women over 40. Long invisible to this ruthless industry, women in their forties, fifties, and beyond are taking back control and deploying the full extent of their power, in the fashion world and elsewhere. This clan of fashionistas includes Katie Holmes, who became a style icon late in life.

Katie Holmes, from Invisible Woman to Invincible Fashion icon

In the 2000s, her role as a teenage girl in the series Dawson ended up rubbing off on her style, off the sets. A sensible wardrobe consisting of the famous low-rise jeans signature of the noughties, a tight little top, and a pair of sneakers. A reserved teenage silhouette that the actress would have difficulty getting rid of.

Her highly publicized marriage to Tom Cruise brought her out of her reserve, but for the wrong reasons. She was the target of all the criticism. The latter attributed to her the role of a groupie woman, blinded by her husband, and would intensify a notch further with the birth of their first child, Suri Cruise.

2012 marked the year of her stormy divorce from the American actor. In the years that followed, Katie Holmes found love again in the arms of Jamie Foxx. After six years of a relationship, lived partly in secret (a marriage contract signed with Tom Cruise requiring her not to appear as a couple for five years following their divorce), numerous rumors of adultery would put an end to it.

And this is perhaps the moment when Katie Holmes’ fashion reign began. In 2019, the recently separated actress walked the streets of New York wearing an ensemble that would set the Internet on fire: a bralette-style bra and matching cardigan by the brand Khaite. A fashion outing that many would quickly compare to Lady Di’s “

Fashion as a tool for empowerment

This look, sold out in just a few hours, and relayed en masse on all social platforms, is the first in a long series of fashion successes for the actress, who appears more assertive, fulfilled, and independent than ever. Accompanied by stylists who refine her style, the fashion icon in the making dares to make perilous combinations. And her bets always pay off.

A liberated, bold, and powerful style that the 45-year-old actress explores relentlessly, on the asphalt of the Big Apple or the red carpet of a glamorous event. If fashion has long excluded women over 40 from its closed circle, it now welcomes them with open arms, well aware that they hold an inestimable power of influence.
