Last night was the big premiere of The Kennedys, the miniseries that was produced by The History Channel, only to be booted off the channel because of the sketchy take on the story of the Kennedys, and perhaps because of Katie Holmes’ brave take on Jackie Kennedy as a robot. Anyway, the miniseries is now being aired on the Reelz Channel, which I don’t think I have, alas, so I won’t be watching. But I can still enjoy the photos! Katie wore this summery Ralph Lauren dress… I think it’s cute, but it seems like a strange choice for a March premiere. I do like that Katie isn’t doing the Kate Middleton-blowout thing with her hair, though. She was doing that too much. As for Tom… he made the effort to match his lady, and he even let her wear the higher heels. Poor Tom, I feel like he’s getting shorter. And since we always do it, here’s the photo investigation of his heels:
He’s wearing smaller lifts. They probably gave him an extra two inches, tops. But he’s not the star – and that why Katie was allowed to tower over him!
Greg Kinnear and his wife Helen. Greg plays JFK.
Barry Pepper, solo. I think he plays Bobby Kennedy.

Katie looks really good for a change. I mean she doesn’t look under pills as usual. Anyway I hate the dress.
She’s gorgeous.
I am no expert, but their body language seems weird to me in these pics. And could he not tuck in his shirt?!
I like her dress, but not for a premiere. It looks like more of a casual Saturday just hangin’ around kind of dress.
She looks ok, but I agree is seems an odd choice for March. Needs a jacket or something. And Katie looks eerily like Kelly Preston in that top pic. ScientoloScary.
Katie looks kind of good in those photos (which is strange per se). Tom too.
The other cast member and his wife seemed to be dresed up for this. Tom and Kate on the other hand…That’s not even smart casual, thats just casual.
Suri really must dress that woman.
Odd.
Barry Pepper for HGF please! I think the dress would be nice for a stroll around town in May, but not for the premiere. Although I think she looks good.
It says alot when he couldn’t even dress up for her premiere.
I like Katie’s dress and if she ever cuts her hair short I won’t be able to distinguish between the two of them.
Nothing says haute couture spring fashion for men like tucking half a shirt in your pants as if trying to hide the urinal splash.
Yeah, forget the lifts….what’s with his shirt hanging out? Katie looks ok.
To me they look like they are headed out to dinner at Friday’s or something. Way too casual. I know that gowns and tuxes weren’t appropriate, but the other people look much better.
Kim, it looks to me like neither of them bothered dressing up for the premiere. Yes, he’s super casual, but she’s wearing a summer picnic dress to her own premiere… I don’t think he’s being insulting towards her, I think they both look too understated.
That dress looks like something I used to crochet when I did that kind of thing. At least she is not slouching and is allowed to stand up straight. For his next premiere I am sure his lifts will be as high as her heels and she will be bent at the waist. Just don’t feel this couple though.
The dress is cute but not for this occasion. Katie lookes happy at least, Tom is really short (lol)even with a little lift.
They look like they are heading to the mall not a
premiere
It looks like Tom is a nail bitter. Katies dress is fairly boring. It’s a casual dress you would wear in the spring or early summer with cute flat sandals, not to a premier.
Katie ALWAYS looks like she just took a bong hit. I’m pissed that I didn’t know this was on last night! I read a review and they said it was really good- very damaging to the Kennedy’s, but a great series.
And please- as for Tom’s heels? You know there’s another two inches inside those boots!
i dont like the dress at all
Greg Kinnear’s wife should choose a different type of bodice. She’s pretty but that dress is very unflattering on her.
As I live in Canada and it will be airing on History TV, I will watch this crap just to figure out why it got dumped.
It is being promoted everywhere – every time I see a TTC bus it seems that Katie’s face is staring blankly at me. I think she’d be awesome in a horror movie.
I think looking at the other people at the premier she is looking too casual for one of the stars of the movie. I also think Tom should have dressed better. Mainly because this really was a bit event for her.
I have to say. When I see Tom and Katie I am always waiting for the HEAT and it never comes. I never feel heat or passion from them on the RC. And I don’t mean lots of kisses but even when he touches her it feels so impersonal.
oh well
Aw, Tom’s wearing his Timberlands like George Costanza! And I never want to see Helen Kinnear’s chest again.
Dear Greg Kinnear: I have no weird boob wrinkle, they are full and nice to look at. Please marry me instead?
The dress is okay. It’s too casual for a premier. She should have worn a brown leather jacket too so her and Tom could be matchy-matchy.
I like the dress. And Helen’s as well.
She looks okay, but Tom looks like he just crawled out of bed and threw on whatever was laying on the floor.
They can’t think very much of the film if that is how they turned up to the premiere; they look like “friends are coming over”. A reviewer basically said that the issue is not so much that ‘The Kennedys’ is factually inaccurate but that it’s just lame and that KH “does not have the gravitas” to portray Jackie Kennedy. Ouch.
She looks younger than she has in years.
I wore a dress just like that when I was pregnant?
Is Tom’s face looking plastic fantastic here or is it just me?
I really like her dress, but it isn’t appropriate for the occasion.
I love Barry Pepper! I second him for HGF!!
I just dont like pictures where she is taller than he! On the other hand, robot holmes is really smiling for once not the usual “only half of my face is interested” grin. Other than that, I think the dress is ugly and cruise looks sloppy.
Barry Pepper for HGF!!!! YES YES YES!!!!
Cute summery dress. Doesn’t really seem premiere wear to me, but oh well.
Shame about the accessory who looks like he wants to eat your eyeballs.
In the first pic, is it just me or is Katie starting to look like Kelly Preston
That dress looks like something to go to the grocery store in. Cute for that, hideous for a premiere.
Greg Kinnear looks good…and he is great actor! 🙂
I see improvement on Katie, she looks fresh and young!As for Tom, what the hell is he wearing?!
Kinnear’s wife is scary looking. Tom was wearing his uniform people! Jeans with button down shirt untucked. Surprised he didn’t wearr the lifts.
this is the happiest i’ve seen katie in YEARS!
That dress looks like a dust rag. I might wear it to clean my house…then again, it may be too casual for that. WTF Katie?
Greg K for HGF!
Katie looks like the old Katie! Like she got her soul back! She looks beautiful.
seriously, a red carpet for a premier of a TV movie that is airing on a cable network nobody heard of before they bought the flick?
Ugh that looks like a dress you’d wear around the house…not out anywhere!
I’m sorry but I would wear that dress to go on a beach trip NOT to the premiere of my miniseries that I was starring in….Katie needs a stylist to help her. She almost always underwhelms on the red carpet
She looks really nice here, even like the hair colour.
He looks undermedicated, as usual.
Katie looks vibrant and happy again! 🙂 perhaps shes gotton better at acting? 😛
or it might just be the change in hair and makeup + some fillers/botox….
What has happend to Katie’s style? It looks like she is going back to her dowdy style she had when she first met Tom. Then she went high style- which I loved. I don’t like anything she is wearing lately and hate her hair.
