In 2024, Katie Holmes solidified herself as a darling of sincere street style, nailed a surefire, carefree outfit and repeated combinations in a refreshing (non-stylized) way for the first time this year, the actress moved her style from the street to the red carpet at the Roundabout Theater in New York City yesterday. She made an official appearance while attending the 2024 gala at the New York Fashion Week gala.

For the occasion, Holmes took cues from her beloved personal style. She wore her version of a small black dress, which included a sleeveless black maxi dress designed with a high neckline and decorated with pockets and drape details.

The Dawson's Creek Alum styled her look in a black coat that coordinated bravely in the chilly pre-spring weather of New York. As for the accessories, she chose a Chanel mule decorated with black and white rosettes, in addition to ara Vartanian's hanging silver earrings and diamond-studded rings.

Holmes's LBD silhouette take follows some casual street-style looks she has worn over the past few months. Last week, the star of Alone Together copied and pasted three cozy pieces of shoreditch Ski Club's shearling-lined bomber jacket, wide-leg nylon pants and a pair of trendy Adidas Sambas, shutting down the notion that costume repetition is taboo.

Not long before that, the actress was spotted strolling through Manhattan wearing another trendy pair of shoes: a silver lace-up ballet flat. Holmes is no stranger to playing with the latest fashion trends, while also making her outfits feel sensible and unique.

While Holmes has proven to be a red carpet inspiration, it's clear that she adores casual moments - as shown in many of her off-duty looks. "We all want to sweat," the actress told Glamour in 2023-4, adding that the look taken before the interview (a blazer paired with a T-shirt and a jogger

) was "an interesting world because celebrity culture and current access can be quite distracting from who the person is." "It's a very important thing," she added. "I'm an actor, so people say, "Oh, do you think about what you wear before you go to the grocery store?""No, because that's not my job. But going to a talk show yesterday is part of my job. So, yes, it is put together."
