If there’s one thing I’ve learned from celebrity street style, it’s this: stars have a go-to uniform for everyday errands—and Katie Holmes is no exception. Whether it’s her or fellow icons like Jennifer Lawrence and Gigi Hadid, they all lean on a trusty trio of fashion staples: comfy trousers, a roomy tote bag, and walkable flat shoes. On June 5, Holmes nailed the look.
Out for another effortlessly chic stroll, Katie wore gray straight-leg sweatpants and—yes—those signature black ballet flats she adores. With their elasticized tops and pull-tabs, her flats look like a pair from Mansur Gavriel, a brand she clearly loves (and often wears). She’s also a big fan of their sleek totes.
For her top layer, Holmes kept it simple with a denim button-down shirt and carried a stylish leather shopper from Mango. And good news: her exact tote is currently on sale for just $46—a far more wallet-friendly option than her usual $745 Manu Atelier favorite.
After more than a decade of living in NYC, Holmes has perfected the art of turning basic pieces into effortlessly cool outfits. White T-shirts, neutral trenches, and yes—even sweatpants—suddenly look polished when she wears them. This latest look proves it again: she made gray sweats look fashion-forward.
Marie Claire even chronicled her ballet flat obsession back in 2024. Though she’s been laying low this spring, making only a few public appearances, her low-key outfits are still inspiring—especially for those of us working from home.
As a remote writer, Holmes’s casual OOTD hit at the perfect time. The next time I throw on sweatpants (which, let’s be honest, will be tomorrow), I’ll channel her sleek, comfy style.
