Known for her impeccable fashion sense, Katie Holmes stepped out in style as she enjoyed a solo outing in New York City on Tuesday.

The 45-year-old actress, best known for her role in Dawson’s Creek, opted for a sophisticated navy blue knit ME+EM dress that showcased her toned arms.

The sleeveless number hugged her fit frame as she strolled down the sidewalk, her cellphone pressed to her ear. The white detailing on the skirt and neckline beautifully matched her white ballet flats, creating a cohesive and elegant look.

Holmes added a bold touch to her ensemble with a bright red lip, enhancing her natural beauty. Her long, brunette hair flowed effortlessly down to her waist in straight strands, while her eyes sparkled with shimmery shadows.

Holmes appeared to be in high spirits, smiling as she chatted away on her iPhone. With her only child, 18-year-old daughter Suri Cruise, preparing for college, the talented actress has been exploring new career avenues.

According to the Sunday Times, Holmes has expressed a desire to launch her own beauty line, adding another feather to her already impressive cap. When asked if cosmetics were part of her future plans, she enthusiastically replied, “Absolutely, I would love to.”

In recent years, Holmes has focused on filmmaking and gaining more experience on stage. She wrote, starred in, and directed the 2022 romantic drama “Alone Together,” showcasing her versatility and passion for the craft.

This was followed by another impressive project, “Rare Objects,” in 2023, where Holmes co-wrote the script, directed, and starred in the film, telling the story of a young woman’s journey of healing and self-discovery.

Speaking to the outlet, Holmes shared her aspirations for the future, stating, “I’d like to continue to write and direct my own films. Maybe write a few books – fiction.”

The multi-talented artist also returned to the stage in 2023, starring in “The Wanderers,” further expanding her creative horizons.

Holmes’ innate sense of style, which has made her a favorite among photographers, has also influenced her daughter, who often borrows her clothes. This intergenerational styling could be one of the reasons why Holmes was chosen to create a collection with A.P.C.

Holmes shared her approach to fashion, stating, “I really look at other people that have an innate sense of style. And I’m like, ‘Oh – that with that! OK, that’s cool.’ I’m always looking for inspiration.”

She continued, “I like to mix and match classic pieces. I like vintage a lot. Living in New York City, I have to have things that are practical and comfortable. The city influences my style.”

Holmes’ practical style choices include “ballet flats, sneakers, baggy jeans, and a T-shirt,” which she effortlessly combines to create a unique and effortless look.

For her collaboration with A.P.C., Holmes drew inspiration from the brand’s archives, reflecting on the simplicity and natural aesthetic of the 90s. She wanted the collection to embody a seamless blend of cool and classic pieces that could easily fit into any wardrobe.

This innate sense of style has been a part of Holmes’ journey since her teenage years. She always ensured that a friend accompanied her on photoshoots to prevent any attempts at sexualization.

As she shared with Glamour, “I didn’t want to be the sexy young thing. I am not sexy. I used to have a friend of mine come to all my photo shoots to make sure that they didn’t try to make me that way! I guess I just wanted to be an actor.”
