LaineyGossip and The Superficial are all over Katie Holmes and her jeans. Lainey: “a high waisted horror reminiscent of Jessica Simpson’s high waisted hilarity only not as funny.” The Superficial: “Mom-ass in a pair of mom jeans.” But are they really that bad? Honestly?
True, they’re not flattering from every angle. But I kind of like the way she looks in some of these photos. She looks long-legged and 1970s, like an Annie Hall supporting player. If the jeans weren’t so high-waisted, they would be very flattering. And I’m saying all of this knowing that Katie Holmes has horrible style, made worse by the fact that she thinks she’s God’s gift to fashion. Since her normal style mode is set to “hideous” can we just applaud her for going with a consistent look (1970s New York/Annie Hall) that doesn’t look terrible?
Some of these photos are really kind of cute. This one, below, looks like a photo I would have found of my mom circa 1973:
See, just lower the waist a little and the jeans are okay:
Ugh, Tom looks like he’s leading her as if she was a dog. FREE KATIE.

Cute!
I think they’re kinda cute.
I like them. Cute.
However her toes……
Tragic.
Love ’em.
damn her ass is flat
I think they look good on her.
I’m almost afraid for her coming down the stairs in those shoes…she looks TERRIFIED to fall. LOL Wear flats Sweetie..it’s ok. 🙂
Ouch. Not even she can pull it off. Those pants are disgusting.
OMG…. They are awful! HATE them with a passion. Maybe if they were darker, but I doubt it!
I don’t think they are that bad, at least she can pull them off.
Katie’s fashion choices are more than often simply tragic. This outfit, however, is a winner.
Those jeans do wonder for girls with small legs that need to be lengthened. I am loving the shirt and complete 70’s vibe with the sunglasses.
The shoes are a bit meh but not bad either.
I’d have gone for a different bag though.
I’m surprised she’s getting bad reviews for being well dressed, which is a rare thing and deserves some praise, non?
She looks so happy with Tom……..
Ive NEVER been a Katie holmes fan but I have to say I’m digging the retro look On her, & her arse is lookin mighty fine from behind
I really dig these. I would take 70s-style fashion over the current trend of 80s stone-washed-neon-green vomit anyday.
Love her jeans. Where can I get a pair?
Cute— very Charlie’s Angels…
Lets talk about Tom’s denim shirt while we’re at it.
As far as Mom jeans go, they’re not horrible. But the very nature of Mom jeans is inherently tragic, and no self-respecting woman should wear them. 😉
Also, please tell me Suri does not have extensions in her hair.
I cannot stand jeans that high. Have you seen the zippers on those things? Also they make peoples ass look a mile long. Please don’t come back in style, Mom jeans!
I wanted to hate them but she wears them well.
I think she looks better here than she has in a while. She’s tall and thin enough to pull off the jeans, and the top is great for her, color-wise.
she looks good in retro. Very cute.
I think the jeans are okay. But I think she looks great. She is looking spunky again.
cute
I think she looks cute as the others have said, its better then the ass crack jean era which I have been a victim of but low rise jeans are cute but these jeans on Katie are very cute. I hate plaid though. So I don’t like the shirt, but Kate looks adorable and stylish.
I don’t like them, but the bigger travesty is Tom wearing Double Denimn. Double Deminm is NEVER okay!
I don’t think she looks horrible and the styling is cute, as most have said.
However, I think Kat(i)e is one of those people who tends to wear things that challenge her figure when she gets down to her goal weight. It’s like she’s proud of herself for slimming down and then attempts to wear something only Giselle Bundchen could pull off.
I think she’s a very pretty girl who is quite fit, but if she wants to look her best she still needs to pay attention to what flatters her.
I could NEVER pull off this look. But DAMN, I think it looks great on her! The wide leg and high waist really suits her body type which tends to look a bit odd in other pants.
she needs different shoes, but the outfit is cute. Definitely very 70s, and she can rock high waisted because she has long legs and is tall and thin.
Becaus of the retro-ishness, she gets a pass. You want truly awful jeans, watch the first few seasons of Friends. Ugh.
Am I the only one who sometimes wears shoes that are difficult to walk down stairs in? I often find ituch easier to go up than down. It’s a sacrifice I’m cool with.
I think she looks cute; I think the colors in her shirt look great on her. But, she does need a cuter bag.
tragic is the perfect adjective to describe her entire ‘fashion sense’ & life for that matter. not a fan.
those jeans are excellent and she looks amazing, basically. but with shoes that strappy i do think she should be wearing a short-sleeved blouse.
Speaking from a male perspective I think they look good. Certainly makes her bum look very nice.
tom’s thighs are thick. he should wear boot cut jeans to balance out his mom thighs.
My ass USED to look like that, lol. Now
it looks like a bag of wet clothes…..
The jeans aren’t great but neither are they horrible. But overall, Katie looks cute here! Love the 70s vibe.
horrible. she tries to hard.
I think she looks just fine. This is one of the better 70’s trends. (on the right woman) Let’s stay away from the psychedelic stuff.
looks great, finally something that doesn’t make her look like lower middle class soccer mom.
Wow…I think she looks awesome! I could NEVER pull that off. Neither could Jessica Simpson. I usually hate mom jeans, but she really looks good.
i don’t like mom jeans on anyone, but especially the katie-bot. she doesn’t have the style or the wit to pull off a retro look.
Cute! I didn’t even notice that they were mom jeans.
not cute. one should not use the fact that one is skinny to wear bad jeans. there are ways to do the 70s vibe w/o looking a mess. homegirl needs a *brush*.
and the body language between tom and katie is just depressing me. christ, now they *both* look miserable.
The look in general is fine. Those 70s jeans flatter her better than others because she is quite long-waisted.
A chunkier heel or espadrille would have been better than those strappy sandals.
I detest that “Presenting Kat(i)e Holmes” hand hold more and more.
I’m voting for cute too. Not matronly like she usually wears – the hair is cute – the flannel would be on trend if she still lived in Ohio (lol-don’t get mad, I’m in Ohio – we’re consistently a few years behind). Overall – not bad!
I guess she pulls it off, which is tough to do. The heels make it. The bag: no. However, this kind of retro looks pretty dull to me. No matter how you style it, or what fashion name you put on it, jeans and plaid never looks lively or interesting, imo. So, she looks good, but boring, if that makes sense.
Wow…I wish I looked like that after three kids! She looks great…and she is definitely NOT pregnant! Suri must have been an alien baby!
I love and need those jeans. She looks amazing.
She looks pretty good, I’d say this is would be something I would wear, actually I dress like like this practically everyday. I love mom jeans and high heels.
I hate high-waisted pants and don’t really care much for Katie Holmes but I think they look really cute! The denim is thin and tailored enough to pull off the look.
Butt-ugly
The 70’s were an ugly time…why are we trying to relive them?
From the front she looks fine…from the sides and the back, FAIL! her ass looks HORRIBLE in those jeans! She has the legs for them but definately not the waist or ass. No bueno
If they were mom jeans, the legs would be tapered. These are a spin-off of classic bell bottoms, which used to have high waists.
I agree that katie’s style is usually off, but she put this together right, for the most part, including the hair. And those glasses look great on her.
wow-i dont think they are mom jeans at all; she looks good. i’d like a pair, in fact.
And denim shirts like Tom’s are hot on guys, IMO.
And I thought I had good taste/fashion sense…LOL
That said, Katie always looks so disturbing-it’s creepy how she has become so depressed and robot like. truly creepy.
And, I ALWAYS freakin ‘hate how tom leads her with his hand-as though she is a fragile old person or baby learning to walk, or a dog…he’s so ridiculous=he’s trying to be the ‘leading male’ or husband role, and it’s so obviously fake, that it’s laughable, if it weren’t so annoying instead.
I have two pairs of the “mom” (well i a mom), jeans & I love them. They are a very dark denim & so comfortable. I like skinny jeans more but love the flare on the mom look.
Debbie I’m confused what 3 kids? Are you referring to your 3 kids?
She doesn’t have well shaped legs or a defined rear. The jeans could be really cute if she did. Some of the pics from the front are very cute. She doesn’t have a clear image of her own bodys stregnths and weaknesses.
I actually like the jeans.
She looks cute. High waisted jeans only work if you are over 5’9″ with long, lean legs- which describes Katie.
The jeans themselves are inherently tragic, but she does wear them well. I like the jeans, shirt, and sunglasses combo- I saw these pictures last night and didn’t even notice the retro vibe until Kaiser pointed it out, and I think it’s a really good look for her.
there are worse things in the world.
This woman has millions to spend, yet she is the WORST dresser. The entire outfit is awful, from the blouse to the heels. Hire a stylist already, Stepford Hag.
While they aren’t my style, she sure does have the body for those. I just hope every fat-ass in America doesn’t think they will look hot in them and jump on that bandwagon.
She looks hot, and miserable. I want to take her to bed and worship her. Tom looks mini-sized and flaming as usual. So obviously gay.
It’s not the pants I’m more concerned about, it’s the face. She looks miserable and I saw a photo of her before the Tom Cruise era and she looked happy and perky. Heis holding on to her like she is about to flee any minut, time to put on those trainers under those Mama pants……
They look good on her, but add a buckle and fifty pounds and you have that unfortunate pair of pants that made Jessica Simpson more famous than, “Is tuna fish or chicken?”
not a fan of these jeans but she seems to pull them off. much worse is, tom wearing the heightening boots again.
Please, please, please bring back high-waisted jeans just so I don’t have to look at belly fat hanging over the lowrise ones anymore. On what planet is a person living that they think that’s a good look? Cram those rolls into high-waisted jeans or wear a muumuu for christ’s sake.
Her entire wardrobe is tragic. Whats tragic is a girl who has access to the most beautiful classy clothes and she dresses like the wash lady. As Luann Says “Money cant buy you class.”
Kaiser, those aren’t mom jeans. Those are 70’s jeans. Every time jeans are high-waisted you call them mom jeans, learn the difference! Seriously, go to Hulu and watch the “Mom Jeans” Saturday Night Live sketch.
To me they look OK or normal because these were the style for most of the 70’s and 80’s when I was growing up.
Uhm, everyone’s blabbing about Katie’s jeans, but what about the loser combo Tom is strutting?
She’s rocking these jeans! She’s got the body for them – but put these same jeans on Jessica Simpson and they’d look tragic.
@GatsbyGal, I agree that Katie’s jeans aren’t mom jeans. I love these 70s jeans on her. But then again, I have a mom’s body–so what do I know? 🙂
I love ’em… but I’m a Mom, so what do I know?! 😀
TRAGIC. Fugly fug.
I think she looks good in them. I’m actually hoping high waisted comes back, I think they’re more flattering to a womans body. I think they look better than seeing a muffin top bulging over low riders with a butt crack thrown in.
I think they look great on her. I wish I could pull something like that off.
The worst fashion trend EVER perpetrated on women was the low-rise jeans. They cut and chop women across the widest part of their body. Anyone who thinks the low-rise jean is flattering is delusional and intellectually dishonest. Not even Jennifer Aniston looks good in them…
Katie looks great!
“High-waisted” doesn’t always translate to “mom jeans” for god’s sake. Mom jeans have tapered ankles, puffy hips, and in some especially unfortunate styles, are pleated. A pair of jeans that isn’t sitting on your hips and revealing your business doesn’t automatically qualify as “dowdy.”
jane16/remote: Yes, thank you!
These are not “mom jeans”.
These are retro or 70s jeans.
I love them!!!!
I think they look cute. I like high-waisted jeans on women….if the woman is way skinny & tall. So that would leave out me.
I think she looks great…Tom must have huge ass lifts on though…cause those are some high shoes she’s wearing and he’s still looking on par with her height…which we all know he isn’t..
Like many said, these aren’t mom jeans!
It’s a great look on her and for onv
Absolutely horrid. The least flattering trouser cut/style ever. They *might* work in a darker hue? I do think the shirt is cute, though.
the jeans hide her heavy thighs which is good. Katie is not a nturally skinny woman. even with relentless dancing, she has very heavy thighs, legs, and calves.
Like them.
They’re in style.
She looks great.
And I’m glad this stly is comming back!
Sick of my butt crack showing.
Neither tragic or cute. Kinda ugly.
I see big nose is wearing lifts again. He’s almost her height in that shot.
I think the jeans are really cute. Much better then the rest of the sloppy outfits she has been wearing. And the picture of Tom leading her by the hand seems really weird
Not everyone likes their butt crack hanging out all the time.
Could she look any more miserable?!
The jeans are tragic and not because I don’t get it – I get it, and they are still tragic. They could be cute if it were the right time for this sort of look but it is just way, way off. I think she’s living in a different timezone from the rest of the world with all the awful shit she wears.
P.s – I wonder if Tom knows that we know he wears lifts? Or that we know he’s a closet homosexual? Or that we know Katie is a fake robowife? Poor Tom. 🙁
Andrea you got it spot on. Tom looks like an a-hole and katies eyes say fiack off for a second or two.
Way cute.
Maybe we can now look forward to the end of the ultra-skinny jeans nightmare…
She looks great. If you want to talk awful, refer back to Lohan and GaGa…..
I would not want to be seen dead in those. However, she can wear whatever she wants to. I do that too without giving damn to what people think. At the same time, I pull off my fashion disasters with a big smile on my face. The only way to make it sexy!
The fabric is mankey-looking. Like it could walk around by itself.
These are 70’s retro jeans not Mum jeans. Unless your Mum is a funky retro Mum of course.
I kinda like them on her. She has a great figure but on me.. EEEKKKK!!!!
LOVE them!! she really looks cute, I am sooo sick of young women wearing the low rise or any ill fittd jean–muffin top, bulges–OR showing a bony stick sickly looking figure-like they may break in half, smdh.
I think she wears heels to remind Tom that he is “short”..even with lifts in his boots.
tom makes her mom jeans look good
low rise gidget bikins are boring ,low rise is a boring trend keep hiding your non existant hips look at any woman with hips she wears high waisted bikins and pants that show them off, low rise can go the way of the dodo. ps your mom knows better tha you do hahaah
