Katie Holmes Signals the Beginning of Nora Ephron Autumn With Soft and Easy Layers

Katie Holmes is not afraid to take trend dangers each from time to time, and more often than not, they repay. However, there’s one thing particular when she reaches for the classics. Nobody does luxe minimalism fairly like she does.

The 45-year-old was photographed in New York on Mean Girls day, a.okay.a. October 3, sporting an effortlessly elegant ensemble: a tender quick coat, which she layered over a tissue-thin turtleneck in an identical shade of butter yellow. The true hero of the look, nonetheless, are Holmes’s blue denims. The straight-leg, mid-rise fashion options only a trace of distressing on the knees, showing aged from lengthy afternoons spent circling Central Park, or consuming espresso on park benches, or no matter else Meg Ryan does in each New York City-set Meg Ryan movie.

Did I point out the match? Because the match is actually impeccable. Tell me this picture does not appear like an advert for these denims:

Holmes skipped the equipment and wore her hair simply matted sufficient to lend a touch of actuality to the entire look. A pair of well-loved navy loafers had been the final touch.
