Anatomy of a look: Katie Holmes, actress

Actress Katie Holmes elevates a jeans and tee combo from off-duty staples to red carpet essentials. Let’s see how she does it.

PEEK-A-BOO 

Katie throws the cold shoulder look some shade.

The peek-a-boo detail on her Club Monaco ‘Priyalla’ top is feminine (love the ribbon detail) without being too frivolous.

The perfect balance.

A-HEM 

Two-toned and frayed may sound a trend too far for some but even the understated Ms. Holmes manages to make it work.

Her secret? The ‘less is more’ mantra.

LOAFING AROUND 

Slip in and stride out – the humble loafer has had a timely redux thanks to Gucci’s vintage-inspired eclecticism. What’s not to love?
