Here’s Katie Holmes at the VMAs with her pose-hard face that is in no way justified by the very budget-looking dress she’s trying to work. This plain lace Azzedine Alaia dress looks like something from the sale rack at Forever 21. She could have saved it with some hot fashion-forward shoes, but instead she chose these terrible light brown lace up boots! What was she thinking?
You can tell she thinks she looks hot. All that auditing must have fried her fashion chip.
Katie presented the video of the year, which Katy Perry won for Firework. Her voice cracked a lot and she looked pretty nervous up there to me. I guess she’s promoting that Don’t Be Afraid of The Dark movie, which was out this Friday. It pretty much tanked at the box office and came in third after The Help and Columbiana. She’ll have to ditch her husband if she wants her career back. It worked for Nicole Kidman. She can act though.

Why was she even invited? Did she have anything up for an award? Also, whats with the awkward angle of her left leg?
She has the weirdest posture. Doesn’t it hurt to tilt that far back on your feet?
Oh, and can anybody explain to me why Katie Holmes was even THERE? It was the Video MUSIC awards, right?
EDIT: haha, Dorothy, it seems we are of the same mind 😉
i think she’s just trying to relate to the mtv crowd, which is mostly kids. give her a break!
The first time they cut to her in the audience, my group of friends and I all said in unison, “Who was that?” Then we found out later with that outfit. Sad.
Don’t let Suri dress you if you are going to present in the outfit…no, no, no
What’s with all the ugly footwear at this show?
Does anyone else think Katie’s getting prettier, her hair looks gorgeous too. Maybe she’s got something going on besides her prison marriage, I hope so for her sake.
Eh, I don’t hate the dress. It’s fine. The boots would be ok with jeans. Together they are fug though. A bigger question: why is she even there?
There’s just nothing going on in there, is there?
Suri picked the shoes, I’ll bet.
Ugh. Katie cannot dress at all. She did better when she was working with a stylist at the beginning of her relationship with Tom. Now that she thinks she’s a “fashion icon” on her own, she ditched the stylist and is showing us how incredibly UNSTYLISH she really is.
I totally blame Suri for this.
I like the boots! I think they would look cute with jeans. Not with that dress, though. Ugh.
Think she looks cute but way too casual for an awards show…and it’s a bit early for a suede bootie.
The dress is totally meh. But the hair?! Holy wow, I want that hair she’s got! Maybe there’s some vitamin-Thetan shampoo she uses….?
Awkward awkward
Ugly dress
ugly shoes
Shiny hair but needs to be combed
No Nicole Kidman’s career still sucks. I love her though. Actually Katie’s film has done better than Nicole’s recent films so…idk. I got the Forever 21 vibe too and then Katie got up there and opened her mouth and I was like whoa…she sounds weird and then I muted it. Love her makeup though.
I don’t know what to say about the dress, so I won’t. The shoes, however, are just all kinds of wrong, wrong, wrong! This woman would not know style if it bit her nose slapped her face and knocked her on her bony a$$ – and she has a clothing line?!?!?!
Did her $ci minders have her practice those poses at home?
I’d be soooo embarrassed to see pics of me looking like that, shoes and everything. And I thought she was a dancer? They always know how to make an entrance.
Is she drunk?
I suspect Katie was there since she has a movie coming out. (this weekend?)
And she has been on some kick lately with the suede booties. She has been roaming in a pair of heinous looking ones, for the last couple of months.
I was amazed that she seemed normal. No zonked out alien look this time. She has a nice tan and her makeup and hair look great.
I am beginning to think Katie is about to over throw the cult. Snatch her daughter and leave. 🙂 Maybe even take her husband with her.
she has the weirdest posture! looks like SPOILER ALERT when natalie portman got the swan legs in black swan.
She looks cute regardless, I like the boots and I think she is trying to relate to the young crowd.
The dress is not so bad, it looks good on her, but the shoes….no no no no!!
She looked adorable. They probably had her there because of her new thriller coming out.
I don’t dislike the dress.
Shoes = FAIL.
I concur with others…. why the hell is she even there?
Those shoes are aggresively ugly.
She’s a very pretty girl and the dress is ok but I agree the booties look horrible with this dress. They also do nothing for her legs. She’s not fat but her knees/lower thigs are just awkward. When that area is covered on her she looks smashing.
Whoever she paid to do her hair and makeup earned their money because she looks good in those areas. But that weird posture she has in those last two pics has me laughing – is that the co$ fierce look? Looks more like she is trying to eek a little turd out! Too funny!
She really needs to stop with all the poses, did Tommy Girl advise her to do that? Of course he did, we all know she can’t have an original thought
I love the dress actually.
But it’s ruined by the bad choice in footwear.
Is this the new trend now? To totally jack up an outfit with FUG shoes?
She looks like a picasso cubist model going all directions at once standing like that. Not a good look on a human. Just awkward!
Her hair is her best feature.
The legs are not presenting well in either that dress or those clompy foot jackets.
She’s a pretty lady. She needs some help dressing, though.
She stands like an awkward 13 year old would, legs all over the place, very strange for a grown up to stand like that.
The awkward legs, the Gumby posture, the little smirky thing she does with her face: she looks like a 13-year-old posing in the bathroom mirror. But no, wait – she’s a “magnificent woman”!
Her neck and her knees look like they are broken.
I think she is using the same gloss stuff on her hair that Kim K. uses…and yes I agree, Suri dressed her.. 🙁
Doesn’t she have her own clothing line?!? Just goes to show that anyone can be a fashion designer as long as they have the millions to hire a real designer do the actual designing. Maybe she should have worn a dress from Holmes and Yang instead.
Gorgeous hair.
Property Of:
1) Zemu
2) Suri
3) Tom
Watching her scieno-stepford metamorphasis is sad.
That crooked smile of hers always makes her look, as my other would say, “half-lit.” And those feet are always pointing at each other like a pigeon-toed toddler. Difference is, on a toddler, it’s cute.
That’s a cute dress – to go grocery shopping in.
The shoes however are only suitable for use as kindling in a bonfire. Hideous!
eh… considering mtv/vh1 have damned little to do with actual music anymore, no harm no foul having scibot appear.
@ i.want.shoes: I am still laughing!! So true, she is broken.
Dress – not that bad;
Shoes – not that bad;
Combined – THAT bad.
Her hair looks really healthy, though.
lmao @ mia girl!
I am still waiting for Tom to get her voice lessons, please!!!
She looks like a mannequin that was assembled wrong. Is she fighting a strong wind?
Why is she posing like Paris Hilton? UGH! And those shoes with that dress is laughable. Why, Katie, why???!
She is a total weirdo, awful outfit. Yuck, she kind of freaks me out in general so doubt I’d think she looks nice in anything.
Such a smug expression. Maybe she went commando and is enjoying the breeze.
The whole outfit screams K-Mart.
Oh. Dear.
There she goes with that effin smirk again.
What’s up with the way how she stands on her legs? It is like a kid that has pooped already.
it’s too bad, katie holmes is very naturally pretty. I don’t know why she can’t find a stylist who’s worth a damn
She has Bell’s Palsy, people. She can’t move part the left side of her face properly.
Agree the shoes are ugly. However, that doesn’t mean they are not in style. I live in New York City, and I see a lot of similar shoes showing up in store windows. I think the designers have run out of ideas for attractive styles and have decided to embrace the ugly. And I’m sure women here will buy them. They’ve been wearing sandals with 6 inch platform heels all summer, which don’t look good on anyone, so the booties are the next logical step.
The outfit is gross, but her hair and makeup look beautiful.
That dress would look much better with a lower neckline held by stringy ties across the shoulders, lower hem and much thinner belt-line just below the waist, with strappy nude or black shoes. Those boots are a wierd choice to say the least.
#35 Ditto!
Is she double-jointed? Her knees are buckling the wrong way!
Graceless, awkward girl with odd body and no freaking clue how to dress. Is she not allowed to read normal magazines to see what other women wear?
stop with the damn half/side smile already. you’re not 17 anymore and it was never cute anyway. washed up rent bride of a hasbeen crazy cult member “actor”… she didn’t know what she was signing up for, i bet she thought she would be living the life now, securing herself a place in the a-list, in spite of her lack of talent. and now she lives in isolation, her child being raised by crazy cult methods and she is rapidly and prematurely looking older.
The booties may be fug, but at least they cover up her manly cankles.
Okay why is she there again?
Katie Holmes looks much better these days as far as hair…for one, her own hair is growing out from that shorter cut she had for so long, plus I think she’s been wearing extensions to boost that look even more. Well, the dress is okay, at least it compliments her figure and her legs, although it’s not a showpiece. The brown booties might work best with another look, maybe pants. She could have worn strappy shoes since she has good legs. The posture, not so good, and the leg is far too bent. The pose comes off as someone trying to look a bit sexy and waifish, younger than her years. I like Katie, but I find that often her dressing style can be a bit off.
