The Daily Mail has picked Katie Holmes apart for having the nerve to leave her home without a full face of caked on makeup. According to the rag, she looks gaunt and worn out. In fact they describe her in a way that makes you think she’s either the ugliest thing you’ve ever seen, or she’s at death’s door. They also cherry picked the worst photos to prove their point.
The long hours of theatre work appeared to be taking their toll on Katie Holmes as the actress was pictured in New York looking gaunt and worn out. The 29-year-old, dressed all-in-black with a bright orange handbag, appeared to be feeling the strain as she returned to the Gerard Schoenfeld theatre in Broadway for rehearsals.
Holmes has thrown herself back into work after taking a couple of years off to raise her only child and has been starring in Arthur Miller’s All My Sons for the last five weeks. The play has so far been well-received, and it has already become the highest-grossing play on Broadway in its first full week of previews, raking in $684,002 so far.
The star made a return to television recently as a lawyer in the US show Eli Stone. Dressed in a black unitard, Katie displayed her impressive singing and dancing skills while performing Duke Ellington’s Hit Me With a Hot Note. A respectable 8.8m watched the first episode she starred in.
Last week the former Dawson’s Creek star unwittingly revealed an unslightly snaggletooth grin but just days later he Hollywood smile was back.
[From the Daily Mail]
The horror! Here are pictures of Katie on the very same day the Daily Mail is talking about. In fact it’s probably the same outing – though you’ll notice she looks worse in the photos from X17 than from Splash. That just has to do with an individual paparazzi’s lighting setup as well as the natural light around her. Some photographers (with a little bit of talent) will compensate for poor lighting conditions while others will maximize it to make a celeb look their worst.
Here are the photos of Katie yesterday from Bauer Griffin. I think she looks not only fine and healthy without makeup, but shockingly beautiful. Everyone can take a few bad pictures now and then, but I think it’s pretty clear it had to do with outside factors and not some shocking laziness in putting on some makeup.
Here’s Katie Holmes leaving her Manhattan apartment carrying a bright orange purse yesterday. Images thanks to Bauer-Griffin.

She looks fine, just tired. I would be too, if I had to put up with La Cruise.

Poor Katie, that’s exactly what she looks like – a sad, empty, badly-dressed shell.
Although she does look good in the middle row of pics.

Katie didn’t go out without make-up, silly kids, thats Tom.

She looks nice in the middle pix bc she has shades on. The eyes are the 1st to be covered when make up isnt applied bc its a classic give away of aging, stress & all the extra baggage it takes being married to psycho Tom.

She looks fine. My only issue is her hair. It looks grayish in the header. But then again dealing with Tom all the time would give me a headful of gray too.

What? She looks fine.

Oh, FFS, Daily Mail. I know they’re just playing to their target audience of insecure people who like to crow over celebrities looking ‘awful’ because it makes them feel better about not being so genetically blessed, but jaysus.
Agree that living with Tom would have to suck the life out of just about anyone, but she doesn’t look it. She always looks lovely, just a little tired in the header pic.

It might be the way the light is reflecting but does Katie’s hair look a little grey?

I’m more interested in seeing the unsightly snaggle-toothed grin.

Actually, this sort of makes me like her.

I really really WANT to like her…but I just can’t. I know it’s wrong, but “company you keep ” & all that. Having said that, yeah, haggard, but who cares? We all have those days.
*still can’t like her though*

Make up is over rated, I never (or very rarely) where it

maybe she had a long night or something. Being a working Mom can be exhausting at times.
Her hair does look grayish. Odd.

The bigger issue is that she is an alien.

I think she looks good. Nice strong jaw line, Miss her big gleaming smile however. I agree on the hair? Lil Silver there or is it the lighting?

You looks fine. However, has anyone else noticed that she always looks older than she is?

I hadn’t realized how much make up alters her appearance. She looks perfectly lovely without it.

This chick is only 29? You’ve got to be freaking kidding me. She looks all used up and 40ish. Just my expert opinion.

Personally, I think she looks far prettier without that crap on her face.
I have a pet peeve with women who smear on cosmetics, anyway. If only women (not all, but many) realized that LESS is MORE!

She has perfect skin and looks good w/o makeup – just a little tired. Still wouldn’t mind looking like Katie (minus crazy husband – she has a good life).

Ladies, NEVER leave home without your lipliner and that all-important soul so photogs can never catch you without a bit of sparkle.

I can’t stand her, but I think she looks fine. I look much worse without make-up

she looks fine, if a bit drained due to having her life force sucked out by tiny tom.
