Katie Holmes took a short break from casual and opted for high glamour to spend the night in ballet instead.

On Tuesday, 5/14, Holmes went to Chilpiani in New York on 42nd Street to put her best gown forward for the Spring gala at the American Ballet Theater and brought her parents Martin and Kathleen. For her unusual red carpet appearance, she wore a stunning, beaded black dress by Emilio Pucci. Her appearance was characterized by a long skirt and a multi-colored abstract neckline.

Holmes completed her #ON in the style of Brie Welch, with Manolo Blahnik pointed black pumps and a black velvet mini clutch. The actress also wore a dangling gold earring from Gutam Jewelry and a matching ring from Prounis Jewelry.

Holmes' evening glamour, performed by make・up artist Genevieve Hair and hair stylist DJ Quintero, included exposed makeup, metallic eyeshadow and a pink lip. She also wore brunette hair tied in a relaxed ponytail.

Holmes was pictured at the ABT Spring Gala sitting at a table with his mother and father. Her mother, Kathleen, wore a button-down dress decorated with blue flowers, but her father, Martin, opted for a classic black tuxedo and black bow tie.

The 45-year-old is one of many a-listers at this event and is a handpicked selection of dancers to participate in ABT's upcoming 2024 spring season. This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in my life. Holmes' attendance is related to her regular sightings in ballet, as her 18-year-old daughter, Pickpocket, is an avid performer.

Last night's appearance followed her first official Red Carpet appearance on May 3, 2024, when she attended the Roundabout Theatre Company gala in New York City. She hasn't made many formal appearances this year, but she's stuck with wearing a little black dress. At that time, she styled a sleeveless black maxi dress with rosette-studded Chanel heels and a black jacket on top.

Holmes seems to be gearing up for more red carpet appearances in the near future, but for now she has already built a complete catalog of memorable street-style looks from the past few months only to fuel us for the whole year. In the meantime, put the following Katie Holmes LBD in your shop.
