Katie Holmes Wearing Skinny Jeans and Flats Confirms It: It’s Fall 2004

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.”
