Ever since Katie Holmes stepped out in a cashmere bra and cardigan from Khaite back in 2019, the actor has become one of fashion’s biggest influencers – whether intentionally, or not. From her oversized shirting and baggy denim to her constant rotation of It-bags and so-wrong-they’re-right shoes, her girl-next-door wardrobe has the benefit of being easily recreatable, which is undoubtedly a huge part of her appeal.
“My personal style is pretty classic,” Holmes previously told Vogue. “I like taking risks and having fun with fashion but I tend to gravitate towards simple design and things that are very meaningful.” More than anything, though, comfort is key: “I’m kind of a jeans girl at heart. I tend to have a few good pieces and re-wear them.”
In many ways, Holmes’s style hasn’t changed all that much since she first burst onto our screens as Dawson Creek’s Joey Potter – albeit now with a Khaite Amelia tote on her arm, or a Chanel blazer in the mix.
Below, enjoy 19 memorable looks from Holmes’s years in the spotlight.
