Katie Holmes attended the Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl’s launch in New York City last night, and she looks fantastic. This little black, ruched dress fits her figure perfectly and highlights her lovely, post-Tom waistline. Katie and Suri are doing well in the big city, and Katie always does the daily school run to Suri’s new school, which is located very close to their Chelsea apartment. Still no sign of Tom after more than ten weeks of absence, but whatever.
As for this look, Katie not only looks good in the dress did very well in the makeup and hair department as well. Those long, loose curls lend her a very youthful appearance, which is also aided by that dewy complexion once again.
Here’s Katie posing with Narciso Rodriguez himself. Now there’s a man who owns his height with no lifts required! Katie should get on that.
Emma Roberts and Julianna Margulies were also at the event, and it looks like they drew the short end of the stick with these color-blocked dresses. To make matters somewhat worse, Julianne got stuck with a black and white “illusion” dress. Oh how I wish Stella McCartney had never started that trend.

Katie looks good, I like her dress–not too much and too matronly-perfect for her.

I almost always like the way Katie Holmes looks, and I have a problem with everyone giving her trouble. She’s a caring mother and often doesn’t care how she looks, like most normal mums, is that such a problem? I like her approach, far from the Glen Steffani et al kids out-there…so many new mums fighting for space, and Katie is only looking for space in a different arena, just to keep her daughter secure and OK

This is best Katie has looked in months..but why is shy always pigeon-toed? She is tall, but has horrible legs. Love her face and hair extensions, wish her well. She fought for Suri, so i admire her, even if she is a boring actress.

Joey Potter feet! But I’m glad to see the emergence of Katie from back in those days again.

That was the first thing that struck me, too: what is wrong with her feet? Stand up straight and act like you have some grace!
I know everyone loves the longer hair (ala Princess Kate), but would really like to see Miss Katie’s hair not quite as long. The shorter haircuts she used to sport really brought out her cheekbones and were just lovely on her!

Gawd, yes!! The hair is tired… a la every “real” housewife of (fill in the blank), young starlet wannabe and hard-working stripper. She needs to go shorter. Plus, am I the only one who thinks the dress is boring and cheap? Her body looks great, tho.

So true about her posing. Good God why does she stand like that? Gotta disagree with Bedhead on who looks better. I don’t like any of the dresses that much but Julianne and Emma are wearing their dresses while the dress is wearing Katie. Her hair and styling is also accentuating her head which looks out of proportion with her thin frame. And I am so tired of everyone in the world wearing the same hair style. It must be so boring to be a stylist today!

Completely agree! I was distracted from the look by the atrocious posing.

That pose always says “I’m got to go to the bathroom really bad” to me.

Here’s my ingenious theory behind the broken doll pose…it has EVERYTHING to do with those cankles! If she stands this way those atrocious calf/ankles are on an angle and don’t look like one big glob of a mess that they normally do. But with all the stylist/styling suggestions, I’m surprised that this was the best pose that they could come up with. You know they have her in the mirror figuring out her best angle to pose in from head to toe, so this contrived, planned posed is supposed to come off compulsive and whimsical…but is obviously a FAIL.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Her cankles are mild enough that the pose cannot be excused by them. Very slight, if at all.
I guess if you have that body your biggest insecurity is your ankles? Now I hate her.

Yes I totally agree. As a tall woman I used to slouch to accomodate shorter people in the picture and always came out looking silly. Stand up straight!

I actually don’t like the dress. Her hair and make up look great though! The ruching would be great for a maternity dress or something. Idk, I don’t love it on Katie. I like the colors and fit of Emma’s dress. I have loved Narciso Rodriguez ever since her designed Carolyn Bessette’s wedding dress. So simplistic and elegant.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Narciso is a lovely guy, but, I passionately hate ruching- reminds me of Target clothes from the 1990′s.
This is the most flattering color I have ever seen on that Emma girl- her face looks almost flushed and actually alive.
Katie’s hair is beautiful.

These dresses look cheap. Is that the point? I’m Canadian, so I don’t know what Kohl’s is.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Yes, you Canadians DO know what Kohl’s is! Come to Michigan in the lower peninsula! They haul in bus-loads of Canadians into Michigan for shopping, especially for the holidays. I worked there, I’ve seen it first hand. More east coast, east of Wisconsin I would think. Check it out. Canadians love Michigan shopping, try Birch Run.

I didn’t say CANADIANS don’t know what Kohl’s is. I said I don’t know. I don’t live anywhere near Michigan. I’ve gone to Washington to cross-border shop but never to Kohl’s. What kind of shop is Kohl’s? Can anyone suggest a Canadian equivalent?

Those dresses DO look cheap. Cheap and not even “designed” at all. Heck, I could design those dresses and I’m no designer.
Kohl’s is a terrible store. I’ve only been in it once, but that was enough. Cheap, shoddily made clothing, rude salesclerks and a filthy bathroom with overflowing toilets were more than enough to convince me never to return.

Katie is not that old and older women can wear long hair if it has layers around the face.

(1) At least her hair is healthy and natural and not some faykass blonde weave… I do like her hair short – but she has healthy hair – so I say leave it be.
(2) agree 100%
(3) Katie doesn’t seem to have ever fully recovered control of some muscles from her bout with Bell’s Palsy. I think this is why her smile is still a bit strange.
(4) The dress is meh. Take it or leave it. I’m just glad it’s actually not accented with ankle boots.

It is on much the same level as Target. She is appearing in a budget look as a favor to Narciso, as are the other ladies. Probably the last time you’ll see Louboutins with anything from this line.

Whats with her smirk? Jeez, it looks like she hated being there. Maybe she did? & her big feet, posed pigeon toed looks stupid. She’s not a small person but she should stand tall & proud. Not slouchy and dumpy. I didn’t even notice the dress, her smirk and feet got my attention. What does it mean when a woman has big feet? I love how she got away from Tommy girl. But I am not a big Katie fan. Although, I did enjoy her in The Kennedy’s.

She had Bell’s Palsy as a child and it left her with a bit of facial paralysis.

Did it also leave her knock-kneed and pigeon-toed? Cause I can’t think of any other reason to stand like that.

@RobN – no need for sarcasm, I didn’t address the knock-kneed, pigeon-toed stance because to me it’s irrelevant how she poses, however dissing someone’s smile because of a legitimate physical ailment is.

Nothing here looks designer. You could go to Ross or another discount store and likely find the same looks for $19.99 or less.

Stand at your full height woman! Not sure about the dress either but one at a time. Just a little constructive criticism.

When her hair is the only thing going for her, she needs to step it up!
I think her clothes are often unfortunate, but her real problem is that she has no poise or confidence. Not sure that either actor or designer is really the career for her. She always seems like she is in over her head in anything she undertakes.

Enough with the smirk comments! She had Bell’s Palsy, FFS. She can’t help that.

Her posture is bad and I don’t like the dress. But why criticize her for something she can’t control — the way her mouth pulls up on one side? You can see her mouth pulls up on the same side her eye slightly droops, which seems like a nerve/muscle thing and NOT something she’s doing on purpose. Get off her back about it.
Btw, Kate Middleton, Emma Watson, Olivia Munn, and other celebrities seem to have the same condition, but to a lesser degree. I don’t think it’s something they can control. Why be mean about it? On the other hand, I think it’s fine to criticize hair, make-up, posture, clothing, spouses, and things that are voluntary choices.
