Katie Holmes is the champion of Closet Staples. The actress is known for shamelessly re-wearing her favorite pieces so often they have become part of her signature uniform. A closer look at Holmes's off-duty outfit reveals that one of her most beloved pieces is Frankie Shop's Gaia Coat, which she wears on the 1st floor.

Case in Point: On Thursday, May 3, 7, days after making her first red carpet appearance of the year, the Dawson's Creek alum was spotted in New York City wearing her trusty outerwear layer over a very typical Katie outfit.

Holmes styled her favorite camel coat in a burgundy knit sweater, straight-leg jeans and tortoise shell sunglasses. She also ditched her dependable Adidas Samba for a pair of street-style worthy pony sneakers.

Holmes has worn this particular camel coat many times — almost too much to count. Back on May 1, Holmes wore her cherished layer while running errands in NYC. At that time, she took a more cozy approach to styling, combining white beanie with neutral outerwear and gray sweatpants Holmes finished the look with 2 of her other closet staples: a pair of Adidas Samba and an oversized Mansour Gabriel Tote.

Aside from wearing her Frankie shop coat during the chilly winter, Holmes has also styled her cherished pieces as transitional layers suitable for early spring days. She wore her coat on another occasion over a pale pink button-down, split hem jeans and a pair of square-frame sunglasses. Not surprisingly, she chose Adidas Sambas and Mansour Gabriel Tote again.
