Katie Holmes proved her penchant for effortlessly eclectic style while in New York City this week.
The “Dawson’s Creek” star was spotted strolling in Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon, wearing black jeans with an oversized white button-down shirt. The wardrobe staple featured an oversized fit and was covered in thin pink pinstripes; naturally, Holmes made it her own by tucking it asymmetrically into her waistband and unbuttoning the cuffs. The effortless duo was finished with stud earrings and a silver nose ring.
Completing Holmes’ look was Kate Spade’s woven $398 Manhattan tote, featuring a multicolored striped palette of yellow, blue, white, orange and olive green fabric trimmed with brown leather. Holmes has been a frequent supporter and longtime fan of the brand over the years, still owning her first Spade bag and attending the brand’s presentations every season.
