We are so back, baby. Katie Holmes, master of comfy-cute street style and always just slightly left of the trends, just paired skinny jeans with flats. My skin is clear, my bills are gone, I’m a kid again. It’s 2004. I’m getting a blue iPod mini for my bat mitzvah.

Holmes stepped out in the Upper West Side of New York City on September 3, 2024, wearing Franco Sarto’s Tinsley Mary Jane Flat in Silver Faux Leather ($115), a smart way to make metallics daytime-appropriate. Carrying a small black bag with a chain handle, the Our Town star paired blue jeans with a sheer green turtleneck with lace detailing, letting her black bra peek through.

Fall in New York. Look at that leaf by her right foot. That leaf is cronchy.

Silver shoes and gold hardware on the purse might have once been a faux pas, but Zerina Ackers of the Marshall’s Good Stuff Style Collective recently told me, “I think the new rules are that there are no rules.” So go for it, Katie.

On her love of mix-and-match style, Holmes told Glamour, “I enjoy [fashion]. I mean, I enjoy the craftsmanship. I enjoy putting things together. And I work with [stylist] Brie Welch, and she’s very detail oriented, and that inspires me. I think it is very creative. I love vintage shopping. I love the art of design.”

Katie Holmes also opened up about when she is and isn’t intentional about her outfits. “It’s a funny world because the culture of celebrity and the access that exists now could be quite a distraction from who the person is,” she said. “I’m an actor, so people say, ‘Oh, do you think about what you wear before you go to the grocery store?’ No, because it’s not my job. You know what I mean? But yesterday, going and doing a talk show is part of my job. So yes, that’s put together.”
