It’s rare to see Katie Holmes model statement jewelry. The star is typically a Jennifer Fisher hoops and Missoma chain necklace kind of woman, you know?
But Holmes was seemingly in magpie mode for an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week, where she wore ginormous gold earrings. The sculptural creations elevated her peaked-lapel blazer, white shirt, and black tights, which were a far cry from the easy denim and cozy outerwear she wears on a daily basis.
The outfit—specifically the mega jewelry and semi-sheer black tights—nodded to the ’80s maximalism that’s trending right now. From Hailey Bieber in gilded Schiaparelli to the excessive gems Rihanna champions regularly (though for her it’s a lifestyle, not a trend), the message is clear: the bolder the better.

As Katie Holmes clearly knows, the right jewelry can make a powerful statement, but sometimes, it’s best to wear none at all. She’s a woman who can do both.
