Katie Holmes Says Yes to Trench Coats, No to Pants

Did you think that after two years at home, we were all suddenly going to start wearing pants again? Fattest of chances. 

It’s summer and legs are on the loose, as Katie Holmes demonstrated when she stepped out in over-the-knee boots, a long trench coat, and absolutely no pants in sight.

The outfit, proudly displayed on the actor-writer-director’s Instagram story, includes a gray tee that is either tucked into or sewn onto black panties, and no accessories or jewelry. The ensemble is statement enough. Sky’s out, thighs out.

The Dawson’s Creek star tends to stick to timeless, feminine pieces, like this yellow dress and Coastal Grandma cardigan ensemble she wore to a Kate Spade event in March (with a nose ring, haaaay!) But she’s not averse to trying edgier looks. Last September, she rocked a strung-together dress with cutouts all over the place, paired with sneakers for an even more downtown vibe.

In addition to trying new styles, Katie Holmes also has plenty of excitement in her personal and professional lives. Her next directorial effort, the pandemic-themed Alone Together, will soon premiere at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival. “So excited to have ALONE TOGETHER @tribecafilmfestival June 14, 15, and 16. Link in bio for tickets :):):):),” she wrote on Instagram. 

Holmes also stars in the film.
