Katie Holmes in Calvin Klein - 2013 Met Ball

Katie Holmes attended her first post-divorce Met Ball in NYC last night.

The actress/designer wore a pure white Calvin Klein gown with a halter neck and a sweeping hem.  I, for one, love this fresh, clean look from her as it is quite the departure from her usual matronly style consisting of dark hues.

A quiff updo, smokey eyes and edgy Lorraine Schwartz earrings completed her look.

Katie Holmes in Holmes & Yang, ALC & Isabel Marant - 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' Appearance

Katie Holmes appeared on 'Jimmy Fallon' on Thursday.

The actress/designer went very low key for the appearance in a white silk Holmes & Yang tank top, A.L.C coated jeans and nude suede Isabel Marant bow pumps and cardigan.

With wavy hair and natural make-up, Katie looked comfortable and at ease.

Katie Holmes in Carolina Herrera - 2012 Style Awards

Katie Holmes made an appearance at the 2012 Style Awards in New York City.

The Holmes & Yang designer presented the Designer of the Year award to the legendary Carolina Herrera.  Katie wore a crisp black shirt and a flared gold skirt with black embellishments by none other than Carolina Herrera.

It was a nice, simple look from the actress/designer, who completed the look with snakeskin pumps and a sleek ponytail.

Katie Holmes in Givenchy and Holmes & Yang - Artistry on Ice Promotional Event

Katie Holmes was in Beijing, China for the past few days for the promotions of the Artistry on Ice event.

At one event, Katie wore a low-cut black Givenchy dress.  She kept her look fairly simple, just topping the dress with a suede red blazer from her own line Holmes & Yang.

Her hair was pulled back into a chic ponytail, she wore layered gold necklaces and completed the look with black pumps by Manolo Blahnik.

Katie Holmes In Lanvin - The Hollywood Reporter and Jimmy Choo‘s 25 Most Powerful Stylists Luncheon

Katie Holmes and her stylist (and design partner) Jeanne Yang attended The Hollywood Reporter and Jimmy Choo‘s 25 Most Powerful Stylists Luncheon in West Hollywood yesterday.

Katie wore a Lanvin Fall 2008 dress for the occasion that had a silk top and a fitted pencil skirt with a flared hem. The dress is dull as is the styling, both which I can forgive.

The two-tone Rodarte T-bar shoes though, I cannot overlook.  They epically ruin this look for Katie.

Katie Holmes In Elie Saab - Vanity fair Oscar Party

Katie Holmes was surprisingly fabulous in an Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture gown, at the Vanity fair After Party.

The sapphire blue chiffon dress with an embellished bodice and velvet belt looked great on her, especially when teamed with her shiny locks and bangs.

A Lanvin clutch and Chanel heels completed her look.  I hope Katie maintains this standard from henceforth.

Katie Holmes In Holmes & Yang - 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' NYC Premiere

Katie Holmes stepped out to support Tom Cruise, at the NYC premiere of 'MI:4'.

She wore a navy coloured, dotted dress by her label Holmes & Yang that had sheer shoulders & sleeves and a tiered skirt.

The dress is somewhat dowdy and does Katie no favours.

I wish she'd stop wearing clothes from her line all the time, especially when they're clearly not working for her (click here).

Katie Holmes In Holmes & Yang

Katie Holmes wore a frock from her own fashion line, Holmes & Yang, at the premiere of her movie, 'Jack and Jill'.

The colour block, chiffon dress was worn with Lanvin ankle-strap heels by Katie.

This dress wasn't very event appropriate and felt quite bland.  Also, I'd rather see this dress on someone younger, like Alexis Bledel or Dianna Agron.

Katie, unfortunately, brought no personality to the dress, and further more, posed badly. 

Her plain hairstyle was the last straw.

Fashion Roundup

At the premiere of 'Margin Call', Demi Moore wore a taffeta silk printed dress by Zac Posen; her hair was left straight and down and she wore Brian Atwood pumps.  The dress looked great on her.

Zoe Saldana was at a Motorola do, in a cool outfit consisting of black separates by Barbara Bui.  So effortless!

Elizabeth Olsen was spotted in a layered blue ensemble (Preen Fall 2011) at a film festival.  I love her multi-print skirt & the patent grey booties but the high collared blue top, worn with the busy necklace isn't working at all.

Emma Roberts went the 60's glitzy way at a Swarovski event - the burnt orange Miu Miu minidress was paired with black tights, Miu Miu platform sandals, sparkly earrings and a messy ponytail by the actress.  

Olivia Palermo attended a store opening in Italy in a mix & match outfit: a printed blue Tibi top, tucked into a floaty sheer skirt, topping it with a fur gilet & finishing off with lace-up heels.

Camilla Belle wowed in Salvatore Ferregamo at an event for the label. I love the silver flapper-inspired dress which Camilla wore with cap-toe pumps, and a matching minaudiere.

Jennifer Hudson looked fabulous in a form-fitting Elie Tahari ensemble.  The singer/actress wore the digital print top & tweed pencil skirt at a NYC dinner.


Olivia Wilde attended the LA event, honoring the CFDA Fashion Fund finalists in a paisley-print pink dress, topping it with a crimson Schumacher coat and adding contrasting electric blue heels & clutch to the look.

Katie Holmes attended a Marie Claire party, wearing a draped, navy Carven dress with black tights & Mary Janes.  She kept her hair simple (& glossy!) and wore diamond studs.  But I wish she'd worn a statement necklace with the dress, it would have taken her look to the next level!


Evan Rachel Wood disappointed once again, wearing a dull black Emilio Pucci dress & jacket to the London premiere of 'Ides of March'.  She tried adding colour via the satin pumps & red lips but I just hate the dress.

The adorable Dianna Agron was also at the CFDA do, wearing a plunge neck Libertine dress with wavy hair & pointy black pumps.  Only Dianna could wear such a low-cut dress and still look cute!


Whitney Port attended the Global Fashion Awards, in an azure coloured silk Matthew Williamson gown.  She matched the embellished details of the dress with dangly earrings & wore her hair in a top-knot.

Giorgio Armani/Vanity Fair Dinner

The fabulous Emma Stone hosted the Giorgio Armani sponsored Vanity Fair dinner in LA last night.

She wore a Spring 2012 dress by the label, but had it a little modified to eliminate the bottom part (original can be seen in the right corner).  

She looked absolutely fantastic, and I love her wispy hair do & subtle make up.  The shoes are a little boring but I'll forgive her, she's Emma freakin' Stone after all.

Also in attendance were Amber Heard, Rashida Jones & Katie Holmes.

Amber's white dress, red lips and blush accessories were spot on.

Rashida Jones veered towards a sloppy look and I'm not crazy about that sequined jacket.

Katie Holmes donned a silk jumpsuit with bubble hem.  The bolero and the jumpsuit remind me of Jeannie from 'I Dream of Jeannie' - not exactly an awesome thing.

Fashion Roundup

It's been quite the week, fashion wise!

At the premiere of the comedy, "The Change Up", Sandra Bullock turned up in a black Lanvin jumpsuit, paired with simple Sergio Rossis. I like the simple look and she looks gorgeous.

Olivia Wilde, who has a part in the movie went monochromatic in a structured, sharp-shouldered Antonio Berardi sheath, opting to wear it with satin Brian Atwoods. The hairstyle is a little off but overall, Olivia carries this look well.

On a talk show appearance, Katie Holmes went for red leather bottoms, wearing them with a crochet knit sweater by Madewell - it's a break from pretty dresses and I admire Katie for always changing it up.

Angelina Jolie wore a beautiful, rust coloured Elie Saab dress at the Sarajevo Film Festival and looked radiant to top it!

I adored Dianna Agron's head-to-toe black look (yes, despite it being all black). Her snazzy hair, red lips and the happy smile elevated this look and she ended up looking very stylish.

Lea Michele worked a light summery look in her printed Valentino frock, which she wore with the predictable nude peeptoes.

Jessica Alba wore a celestial print dress from the Dolce & Gabbana Fall collection - the maxi dress is a great look on her as always but the hairstyle I do not like.

Model/actress Joy Bryant was seen at an NBC event in some tribal printed shorts from Madewell, which she wore with a white vest top, black blazer and silver necklace - the red bag added a pop of colour to her ensemble.

Emma Roberts surprised me in this long white dress - I think I would have preferred a knee-length on it but as it is, it looks lovely.

Mila Kunis was seen in London wearing a navy polka-dot Oscar de la Renta dress, with pale Mary-Janes and an indigo Chanel clutch - something about this look reminds me of Kate Middleton and that can't ever be a bad thing, right?

Fashion Roundup

Starting the post with Jennifer Aniston's summery Prada dress! I adore this look on her, from head to toe and it certainly helps that she's absolutely radiant.

Hilary Swank is back in this week's Fashion Roundup, and in good books, thanks to the Hugo Boss mini, my only pick is the black slip showing up.

Dita Von Teese was in Paris for a couture show, in an Alexis Mabille gown that was previously seen on Leighton Meester in the finale of Season 4 of "Gossip Girl". This gown was an instant favourite with me, when I saw it on the television show - it's perfectly intricate, feminine and has a regal feel to it almost.

Rosario Dawson wore Roberto Cavalli for the premiere of "Zookeeper". It's shimmery, has an animal-print - perfect for the premiere!

Rose Byrne had a go at the jumpsuit trend, but this floral monstrosity is just that, a monstrosity. The light pink blazer is trying to salvage the look but it's just beyond repair.

Katie Holmes continued her stylish run in Paris, this time in a casual look. The pussy-bow blouse is somewhat becoming a regular (see this & this) with her, but no complains, she looks great.

Selena Gomez's outfit for a Disney event nearly worked, the sequined shirt and jeans are cute but then came in the warpaint on her face and those heavy suede boots...

Ashley Olsen was spotted in NYC in this chic outfit. I love the combination of the crisp white shirt with the textured navy skirt, and of course that handbag; however, it's just wrong on her and makes her look older than she is. So, great ensemble on the wrong person.

Couture Love

Spotted: Cate Blanchett & Katie Holmes at the Armani Privé couture show in Paris.

I love Cate's red, sculpted dress - it's head to toe red but somehow works.

Katie wore all black, I think it's a little inappropriate, weather-wise, but I like how she wore those snakeskin heels to add interest to her look.

Meanwhile, Olivia Palermo was seen in a gorgeous chiffon yellow Topshop dress at the Giambattista Valli show. As usual, Olivia takes the dress a step forward through her mix and match accessories and that plexiglas Charlotte Olympia clutch is superb!

Fashion Roundup

Megan Fox, at the Maui Film Festival in Hawaii wore a leaopard print dress by Isabel Marant with white Brian Atwood pumps; the coral coloured necklace is uneccesary but she looked pretty good.

Katie Holmes continued her MaxMara obssession, in this monochromatic, floral number that she wore with pointy, suede heels and a gold necklace - it's a sleek and sophisticated look from her.



Emma Watson went for a completely girly look this week, in her emblelished, tulle dress by Temperely London. Although, I wish she'd gone for a different shoe as those Casadei pumps are clunky.

Taylor Swift stuck to her style, in a busy, floral print Dolce & Gabbana dress which she wore with tan heels and red lips.



Diane Kruger wowed in her Alessandra Rich dress that had lace applique - the unusual florescent colour and the orange belt really add to this look! To finish off, she wore nude sandals and had her hair in soft waves.

Gwyneth Paltrow returned to her stylish form this week in a draped Alexander Wang dress - it worked well on her lithe frame and her hair looked good!

Trend Watch: Wide Legged Bottoms

Wide legged trousers, suits and jumpsuits have been very popular this year, from MaxMara (Spring 2011) to Michael Kors (Fall 2011) and more, the trend has been everywhere on runways.

Katie Holmes and Ashley Greene sported this trend at a MaxMara dinner.

Katie went for a double-breasted suit, and while I'm not entirely sure about the fit of the trousers, she does carry this suit off well and her hair and make up are spot on.

Ashley Greene wore a wide legged jumpsuit and added layered pearl necklaces; I think that a bright colour would have been more fun, and a sleek ponytail would have worked better.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley was seen going into a studio in NYC wearing a suit by Michael Kors with a halter neck blouse - she looked statuesque and managed to work that backless top.

Subtle Spring

When I think of Spring, my mind automatically gravitates towards florals, pastels and stripes. But muted colours can help you achieve a very laid-back approach towards dressing for the season.

Michelle Williams, at the premiere of her new movie, "Meek's Cutoff" donned this pale grey shift by Chanel with black cap sleeves. It's totally understated yet perfectly suitable for the season.

Katie Holmes wore a Ralph Lauren frock in a pretty blue colour at "The Kennedys" premiere - I love the shape of this dress too, it's pretty. She paired it with some strappy nude heels and kept her hair and make up simple.
