Katie Holmes Breaks with the Standard Coat with Denim Trench Trend
There is no greater love story in street style than Katie Holmes and her camel coat. She has styled the Frankie Shoppe longline jacket countless times this winter and spring, layering it over a variety of looks, from upscale commuter wear with loafers and black slacks to intimate jeans and hype sneakers. But as Holmes proved yesterday, even the best love stories must end in the name of personal style.
Just a few hours after he paired his camel coat with black pants and Gucci loafers, Holmes was in New York to see Alan Cumming's Cabaret, wearing an entirely new outerwear outfit. Holmes wore a new coat to the show: a slouchy denim trench coat with studs on the collar and hem.
The coat, which is not yet known to be by a specific designer, has an aesthetic that is the opposite of Holmes's usual outerwear. Whereas her longtime camel coat is sophisticated and understated, her denim trench is edgy and almost lifeless. It also stood out among the all-black canvas of her other looks, a crew-neck T-shirt and wide black pants.
Holmes was willing to change up her outerwear, but not completely abandon her trusty wardrobe staples. The star of Dawson's Creek still wore her best bag for work under one arm: the Muncer Gabriel Everyday Tote.
She also created a subtle matching moment by coordinating her studded, buckled ballet slippers with the silver embellishments on her jacket. The exact pair has yet to be identified, but knowing Holmes' stylist, Bree Welch, it probably came from somewhere notable.
Holmes' departure from his usual outerwear is consistent with major fashion trends on the 2023 and 2024 runways and in the personal style of other celebrities. Collections from Balenciaga to Nour Hamour have featured trench coats remade in denim. Meanwhile, in street style, Taylor Swift wore a version of indie label EB Denim to a girls' night in New York City, where it sold out instantly. Shortly after, the style appeared on the show floor at Paris Fashion Week, where it was styled with a variety of It bags and unexpected shoes.
Until Holmes and her team reveal which brand she trusted to break out of her usual wardrobe staples, or until her fans track down the exact coat, here are some similar denim trenches.
