Yesterday, as I was covering the new photos of Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri, I was wondering why the family was in LA when it seemed like Tom was having the time of his life down in Miami (Those poor Miami hustlers – I bet they got audited. HARD.). Sure, Tom took Katie out for a “date night” Katy Perry concert (in which Katie wore one of the worst dong-repellent ensembles ever), but surely they didn’t go to LA just for a concert? Yeah, they totally did. Because yesterday, the Cruise-Holmes clan flew to NYC for Katie’s premiere. Her film Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark had it’s big red carpet premiere last night, and these are the photos. Note: Katie seems to have walked the red carpet by herself, but Tom was definitely there, and the paparazzi got lots of photos of the two of them after the premiere.
As for Katie’s style… I don’t hate the dress. It’s not the best thing ever, but it’s cute enough, especially when she pairs it with the grey cardigan. Guess who did the dress? KATIE! The dress is Holmes & Yang! It’s always funny to me that Katie fronts like she’s the second coming of Ralph Lauren when the Holmes & Yang line looks so budget. As I said, this dress is cute and everything, but if you were going to design something cute for your own premiere, why do a simple LBD?
What I do like about Katie’s premiere look: her hair looks good. I think she’s just decided to copy whatever Kate Middleton has done. And Katie’s makeup looks decent too. It’s funny, though – she looks alert and sober on the red carpet, but as soon as she’s holding hands with Tom, it’s like she becomes instantly zonked. Tom looked kind of weird last night too. What’s going on with him? His hair looks limp, he didn’t take his sunglasses off, and he didn’t walk the carpet with Katie. Is anyone else worried?

Perhaps Cruise wanted his wife to have the spotlight instead, and that is why he chose to skip the red carpet. Lot’s of celebrity couples don’t walk the red carpet together. I find nothing worrisome about it.

Holmes and Cruise act odd in public? Well, call me when they start acting normally.
I sincerely don’t know anymore what’s real or not about these two.

She looks fantastic…less is always more. Sophisticated and chic. Love the shoes and cardigan, too.

What I find much more interesting, was that they skipped out of the big black tie affair for The Cult, that was this past weekend in LA. All the zombie’s were there. But the Cruise’s were at Katy Perry’s show instead.
With Tom being the second coming for The Cult. It is odd that he shunned this huge party to go see a concert.
I find that far more interesting. Maybe Tom is thinking about ditching The Cult??
But Katie has started to look cute again. With the long hair and great makeup.

Tommy never wants his wife to “just have the spotlight.” LOL That was the whole ploy behind the marriage. HE (and the Co$, I’m sure) would make her a SUPAH-STAR!
Detailing on that dress is lacking. She never wears a dress without wrinkles…

I like it especially with the cardigan, it’s one of those universally flattering dresses. I’d actually buy that.
@Bubbling: I don’t know if I love the pointy toe, but I’ll take anything that isn’t like 6 inches high. I miss the early 2000s and the days of 3 inch heels.

I wish she would fix her teeth. Veneers don’t cost that much when you have her money.

Gee, Tommy Girl really got dressed up for his wife’s big night. He hauled out his brown “work boots” (hidden lifts an after-market item) when it was probably 85 degrees in NYC on Monday night with 80% humidity. Not saying he should’ve worn flip flops…he just looks like he’s going on a hay ride.

i love that he cant let go of her for 4 seconds to let her walk unaided. she looks totally meh.

she looks pretty here and happy. I don’t know why she stands like that!! especially since she thinks she’s a “dancer”… maybe it’s her insecurity showing.. Her hair is beautiful and her skin and eyes looks great!! Not sure what happening with Tommy. He looks VERY uptight.. more than normal…

Pic 7: judging by the way TC is looking @ Katie’s shoes, he’s planning to get a pair for himself.

Speaking of Waity, she should get the number of Stepbot’s makeup artist STAT! Her makeup really works for her when she’s on the red carpet. There is a huge difference when someone else does it for Stepbot.

Not frumpy or cute….
Just
Boring.

Maybe he’s wearing the shades to cover up some recent eye work.
And would it kill Katie to stand like a woman for once, in the top pic it looks like she’s gotta pee. NOT attractive although I think her makeup looks great.

Tom looks like he needs his prescription..like he may jump on the couch again…
Katie looks like she has her prescription and actually pretty make up and hair wise..the dress is quite normal…I would hae loved to see a sequined cardi instead.

Exactly, who taught us that it’s sexy or attractive to pose as if you are a toddler?
Or that stupid pose with one leg crossed over the other, teetering like a weakling, trying desperately to look thinner (and less strong).
What gives with that?

She looked better before her plastic surgeries (nose job, breast reduction). Now she looks old and “used up” (although part of that is probably from being married to that weirdo). So sad.

@Hautie
I believe there were three nights of Perry concerts in LA and that the Cruises went to the concert on Sunday.
That Xenupalloza event was on Sat night. Maybe that’s why they really were in town and just chose not to be photgraphed at the event (COS controls the photos). That would make more sense that flying to LA for a Katy Perry concert and then flying out the next day for NY.

Did anyone else start humming, “I wear my sunglasses at night”?
What is very weird to me (aside from all of the other very weird things about this couple) is that in 2005, Katebot appeared on Letterman wearing a black tanktop and black skintight capris with black heels. She looked stunning and her legs looked almost bony, they were so thin. Now her trunk and arms are stick thin, but her legs seem swollen. I am mystified.

She’s so slender but she has the calves and cankles of a field worker. Weird.
That dress is so ordinary; seems kind of disingenuous to say it was ‘designed.’

Hideous dress! Look slike a high school home ec. pattern. Her makeup is totally wrong color/way to light and she needs to stop messing with/tweaking her face. Her fake nose and cheeks look terrible.

Cute little black dress, but that has already been done a bizillion times. It it pretty much what we would exp from Katie…safe.

They look cute and happy together, the LBD is a safe and practical look, Katie Holmes never has worn anything extravagant, she has a classical style which I really like. She has a cute smile, she doesn’t need veneers.

I could wear that dress to stop n shop with flip flops and not feel overdressed.

I love the general mess that is Katie Holmes, but everything I have ever seen from Holmes & Yang has virtually no ‘design’ to it. Conservative color palettes, exceedingly basic cut/construction, and often executed with flimsy fabric. And then she feels it’s justified to charge over $700 for her blouses.
I get the feeling that she’s very vanilla, so I guess her ‘designs’ are reflective of that.

Gorgeous hair extensions and m/u. Tom is a hot mess. He looks like a SeaOrg page on a meth binge. It’s one of the weirdest shirts ever. GO USA! Woo!
I lovelovelove her “S” necklace. Suri! Scieno! Accessory multitasking.
ooo, and her nail polish is the hotness.

Not really sure whats new about the design. Nothing new.

You can see how she LOVES the attention and that’s why she married him.
She was on her way to “end of career once the TV show that made me famous is over”.
The dress is very very plain and does not flatter her figure.
Her hair does look great, though.

Her hair is covering the most interesting bit of the dress. You can’t see the detail in the straps–as the designer, wouldn’t you want to showcase this? Sure her hair looks great, but it detracts from the detail work. Not that much “work” went into it in the first place…

That’s not much of a design, seen better more creative designs at Forever 21, wouldn’t call a typical black dress a “DESIGN”
this is another one of those “been there done that” clothing “designs” that people buy just because of the celebrity name.
So, Tom Cruise and Leo Dicaprio still shop in the juniors dept. for their teen boy clothes?

I agree with the poster who thinks she should get veneers. I remember during the batman movie thinking about how awful her teeth are. She is the only person i have ever seen that seems to have a greenish tint to their teeth. She certainly can afford sprucing up her smile.
And the pigeon toed stance is so terrible.
She is looking better lately though in the hair and make up department.

Didn’t she get several thousand dollars of veneers in Japan a few years ago? She must need new ones? Because she totally destroyed her real teeth after years and years of lunch-chucking. Maybe she’s still doing it. Sad, and disgusting. Tom looks full of wooo!

It’s not horrible, but it’s very basic. I’m pretty sure everyone’s had a dress like that before.

None of the clothing attributed to designs by Katy Holmes appears to be original or have a unique “point of view”. I don’t know what her target market is, but most of what I have seen is a yawn. Basic does not have to equal boring.
