In the season of bell-bottom leggings, Katie Holmes stepped out in New York City to remind us that stirrup leggings are also an option.
Yes, the 45-year-old actor took an aesthetic trip to the ‘90s (or late ’80s) in retro leggings she transformed into dress pants with a very original denim shirt and peep-toe pumps with a distinctive lobster-claw heel. The combo is a total 10.
We are aware that stirrup leggings are not everyone’s cup of tea, nor are they the easiest garment. We are also aware that they are not easy to combine and that you have to think carefully about how you style them. Above all, you have to take risks to pull them off—and Katie Holmes is an expert at risk taking.
For this occasion, the actor paired her stirrup leggings with a double-breasted, denim peplum shirt (oh!), finished with oversized lapels. Yes, a loose sweater or a big blouse would have been a more expected option, but why not break up the informality of the pants by adding this extravagant top?
Katie Holmes tops it all off with shoes that are both surreal and fashionable. Yes, her heel is called a ‘lobster tail’ because it is curved and thin, a treat usually reserved for fashion experts and those who want to wear shoes that look completely unique.
Once again, Katie Holmes is dressing like no other celeb with unexpected wardrobe combinations.
