Flat shoes are a cornerstone of Katie Holmes s personal style. Whether she is running errands or at a high profile fashion event she always tends to prioritize comfort. There will be certain occasions when there is no other option than to dress up and wear more formal shoes, however she just showed that ballet pumps can look as smart as any high heel.
The star of Batman Begins attended a luncheon hosted by Chanel in New York as part of the Tribeca Film Festival and wore a pair of baggy jeans by the French fashion house with its signature black satin pumps with a toe-cap detail. The jeans feature the iconic double ‘C’ logo in a polka dot motif print and appear to be an extension of the maison’s most recent pre-fall 2023 collection, which featured several variations of baggy jeans and denim separates.
To complete the look, the actor added another very ‘Katie Holmes’ element: a basic white T-shirt, which she wore underneath a classic Chanel tweed jacket in navy blue. Katie also carried a bag (by Chanel, of course) in the shape of a crescent with the signature chain strap.
The Dawson’s Creek actor has truly entered her ballerina era – earlier last week she wore a pair of ballerina Mary Janes by Miu Miu with a long black maxi skirt for a night in New York. She shows that ballet flats can work for any dress code, as last autumn she wore a pair of leather flats by M Gemi with a pair of denim wide-leg culottes and a tank top.
