Katie Holmes Sparkles in Crystal Dress & Barely-There Sandals at CFDA Awards 2022

Katie Holmes made a sparkling entrance at the 2022 CFDA Awards.

The “Dawson’s Creek” star arrived for the occasion with fashion designer Jonathan Simkhai, wearing a glamorous dress of his own design. Her sleeveless piece featured a pale nude base, overlaid with an open-knit upper layer covered in glittering crystals. The statement dress was complete with a fringed hem, giving it greater dimension through movement.

Adding a minimalist edge to Holmes’ attire was her own thin silver nose ring, as well as a shiny oval-shaped silver leather clutch, delicate diamond drop earrings and a matching bracelet.

When it came to footwear, Holmes’ look was finished with a set of heeled sandals. Her neutral style featured thin soles, ankle and toe straps crafted from tape leather, providing a clean base for her ensemble to take center stage and creating a barely-there construction. Thin stiletto heels totaling at least 4 inches in height finished the set, giving her a sharp height boost that further allowed her dress’ fringe to sway and catch the light on the red carpet.
