Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at the Vanity Fair party: does she look pregnant?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes attended last evening’s Vanity Fair Oscar party after Tom presented the award for Best Picture and gleefully towered over Uggie in the process. As such, he probably felt manly enough to wear his “medium” dress shoe lifts while escorting his Xenu-ed wife to an afterparty. Katie really looks zoned out here, and I think her hair is a prime example of what Kaiser often describes as “bangs trauma.” That fringe is seriously overdone and ages Katie substantially. She’s only thirty-three years old but could’ve passed for forty with those bangs.

Now let’s talk about Katie’s dress. It’s a midnight blue Elie Saab with an embellished bodice that also boasted a faux-transparent effect in the boob area. The dress itself isn’t bad, but it makes Katie look …. rather pregnant. I don’t think that she actually is with child — it’s probably more of a combination of a dress that’s poufy in the midsection and Katie’s questionable posture. She’d probably look much better if she stood up straight and used her dancer’s posture, but I believe she’s used to slouching next to Tom. In addition, the gold chain is a wee bit tacky, and the makeup job is too precious for words with severe eyeliner to boot. Overall, Katie’s in serious need of some battery recharging.

Now let’s go in for a closeup on Katie and Tom. He looks less tweaked than he did a few months ago, right? Those expert facelifts must have settled in a bit.

    Thomas and Katherine look so dashing together 🙂

  2. Asli says:

    Whoa, Katie is starting to act/look like a drugged out zombie more and more everyday.

  3. Maguita says:

    Oh wow, KatiE looks like Olivia Wilde!!!

    • anon says:

      I actually got a Penelope Cruz vibe from her with these photos.

    • Maguita says:

      Penelope would never have that daft-brain-addled side smirk. That is why she didn’t last with Cruise 😉

      • Ailine says:

        That smirk is annoying. She thinks it’s cute, but it’s just really silly looking. I think she’s taking too many posing tips from Beckham. She should work an image that suits her better. And this dress belongs at a prom in the 1950s.

  4. Jennifer says:

    I think Tom looks the best he has in a long time. Katie looks good, too, although she does seem dazed. I never would have thought she was pregnant…her arms are so thin!

  5. Dee Cee says:

    She’s slouching as best she can without bending her bones..

  6. coconut says:

    bangs trauma schrauma! they are cute and she still looks 33. i think they both look good though she seems to be holding her army funny.

  7. TheOriginalVictoria says:

    I love the dress or at least I want to love it. Blue is my signature color. But Katie is just not wearing it right. This dress would look great on someone with a short hair do or braided hair. Bangs? Nah.

    Tommy…looking good with your crazy ass.

  8. Rianic says:

    She looks a little like Penelope Cruz in picture number two!

  9. Laurabb says:

    I love the color of her dress.

  10. Amanda says:

    Tom looks good, props to his plastic surgeon, Katie not so much.

    • MsGoblin says:

      Agreed. Tom has had some really terrific work done. The best I’ve seen. He looks the same, just rested and fresh.

      • bostonKat says:

        I said the same thing to my husband last night…I swear the man ages backwards (praise Xenu lol). Reminds me of why I used to be in love with him during the Days of Thunder, Top Gun era

      • Snowangel says:

        I agree, I totally LOVED him in Top Gun. Now I can only think of him as a crazy little cultish man. Yuck

      • Nev says:

        word.

        when he was presenting and in these photos he looks 35. wow.

  11. novaraen says:

    No…she just looks fug.

  12. Julie says:

    Look how delicate Tommy’s hands/fingers are in the second pic. Ewwwww!

    • Kimbob says:

      @Julie….agreed. But, you know, he has all those Scientology minions doing all chores laborious at his digs…so…yes…Palmolive hands!

      Also, I noticed when I scrolled to that 2nd pic to see what you were talking about…do you notice HOW POSED they look? Like his hand is barely touching her…like….this is all a front…or a faux relationship?

      Like, when a guy puts his arm around his girl or wife, shouldn’t it be kind of like he’s holding her closer to him…not in these pics. I say…phony relationship.

      • Julie says:

        I thought the same thing…that this pose looks like something they had practiced. A lot. HA HA HA! Too funny!

      • Esmom says:

        Yeah, like the complete opposite of Jean du Jardin and his wife. They were all over each other, so cute!

      • corny says:

        Her battery cover became loose and he had to keep a grip on it so the wires wouldn’t fall out

  13. BK says:

    You can be so darn vicious when you want to be.

    I honestly wish that people would just shut up and let these two alone.

    The attacks on their religion, their looks, pregnancy rumors – I just don’t get it. WHY do you have to perpetually hound them?

    Why should we care about his religion? Why should we care if he is awkward about expressing his enthusiasm for falling in love again?

    We all make silly mistakes or act over-the-top sometimes, right?

    People praise Chris Brown and award him a Grammy after he beats a lady severely, but you hound Tom Cruise for being nutty and jumping on the couch?

    It’s just not necessary.

    • TrollyDolly says:

      Chris Brown is a vile thug who enjoys beating defenceless women. He is a narcissistic bully.

      Tom Cruise is the Poster Child of a dangerous cult which uses violence to intimidate its members and often those who oppose it.

      I’m not perfect either BTW.

    • Ravensdaughter says:

      BK: I’m on Team Rooney Mara, so I’m not Ms. Popularity today, either. I was reminded that this is not “Cele/Nice”. However, there are certain celebs on this site who get banged constantly and others who don’t.
      I go through phases where I get sick of what is basically the same theme-C/B’s likes and dislikes- but then I get bored and come back again, trying to make short, relative bitch free-or even positive!- comments. I am two weeks short of a Masters, so maybe it is really time I find better things to do-like a job, pleeeeease..
      I wonder if this will even get published???

    • Julie says:

      @BK—The viciousness shown to Tom Cruise on this or any other gossip site is NOTHING compared to what the CO$ does to dissenting and former members.
      Don’t waste any tears for this guy, he is so far up his own Thetan ass he doesn’t give a hoot what us SPs say about him! 🙂

    • MMF says:

      That is not religion. It is a cult.

      Pay attention.

  14. mia girl says:

    I don’t profess to me a member of the “bangs trauma” squad, but my god, that hair is the absolute worst.

    It’s a pity because the color of the dress really works for her and almost makes her look like a vibrant self-thinking human.

  15. Eener says:

    Totally rocking the preggas look

  16. Agnes says:

    he’s the worst. ugh.

  17. Kimbob says:

    You know what? I usually like bangs…but here I must agree….this is some serious bangs trauma. Kaiser’s “bangs trauma” description is aptly applied here…ugh…not too pretty.

    I agree Bedhead, to me, bangs usually makes one look more youthful, but here on Katie…makes her look older…agreed!

    Looking at Mr. Scientolobot…um..I’m thinking maybe he didn’t get a facelift, but just tweaking w/injections, & yes, it’s settled now.

  18. Turd Fergussen says:

    Katie looks uncomfortable. Oh, and held captive.

  19. dorothy says:

    That hair!

  20. Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

    Katie has the same look as Princess Charlene.

    • Princess Lizabeth says:

      Wow, that’s just what I was thinking. She’s smiling but also saying “help me” IMHO.

  21. Shelly says:

    Katie doesn’t look pregnant to me. I don’t hate bangs, but hers are terrible. Tom looked great last night.

  22. lrm says:

    I love her dress! and she does not look as drugged as princess charlene! c’mon now….okay, well she doesn’t in this photo set, anyway…..lol
    princess charlene? aykarumba that is sad! regardless of her choices-she was so naturally beautiful even just before the wedding….she’s looking so rough these days.

  23. Jacq says:

    I had a glimmer of hope for her, but after reading the reports and the testimony of the Co$ people – I think Katie’s an idiot. Sold her soul; and for WHAT? The dress looks too big in the bust and gives her a gut when, I presume, she doesn’t have one. What pawn shop did her necklace come from? Tacky.
    I was just disgusted to see Tommy Boy present the best picture award. I guess the same committee that gave tickets to SBC chose Tom, as well.

  24. mazzy says:

    I get sad when I see Katie, & this is no exception.
    Rent-a-bangs, drab dress color, & poor thing she’s not preg — it’s a combination of fabric bunch in the front + slouch/hip tuck to seem shorter form Tommy Boy.

    But, I must say he looks great. Whatever tweaking he’s had recently — nice job doc!

  25. Tweakspotter says:

    Man you can see his botoxed forehead vein from 10ft back! Her hair never looks good and she’s doing that “tall girl slouch” we do when we pose next to short people. LOL!! I’m totally guilty of doing that.

  26. faye says:

    I love this dress, love the color I think it looks good on her. The necklace is not tacky, just the wrong color, had it been a silver tone or all diamonds it would have been perfect. He looks great, picking on them for the sake of picking on them is getting old and tired.

  27. sharylmj says:

    I think they look good! I don’t mind her bangs.. the eyeliner is a bit much though. They both act like that dress hurts, the way his hand is on it and the way she is holding her arm out.. those embelishments must be scratchy..
    I like the color, but it does bunch around her middle.. it would look so much better if she would stand up straight!!!!

  28. Kim says:

    Bad cut of dress/very unflattering or she is preggers. I think its just bad dress and her bangs look so fake clip on – terrible! The dress & jewelry are Dynasty circa 1980 and not cool retro 80’s — just bad.

  29. the original bellaluna says:

    Is this a “thing” now, bangs that start halfway up your crown? Because if it is, I refuse.

    I doubt she’s pregnant; the dress just features a rather large amount of fabric gathered rather unflatteringly at one of the worst places possible. The colour is GORGEOUS though.

    And that heavy gold chain is in competition with a rather complicated bodice. A single Tahitian Pearl from a delicate chain (or no necklace at all) would have been better suited. (Also, I’d have ditched that gigantic pinkish-purple ring. Too much going on, Katie-bot.)

    I do LOVE her clutch. At least I think I do – it’s kind of hard to make out at that angle.

    • Esmom says:

      I know, those bangs appeared on more than one Bridesmaid, too, and they were just as awful as Katie’s. Please let this be a vey short-lived trend.

  30. Ravensdaughter says:

    Could be the dress-it does pouf out at the belly…
    Can you imagine the absolute FIT darling Suri would have if she had a sibling? Batten down the hatches!

  31. Elizabeth says:

    She looks too skinny and it looks like she’s had work done on her face. Why, Katie, why? You’re only 33!

  32. Samigirl says:

    Disregarding the belly poof thing going on, I think it may be my favorite gown I’ve seen all day.

  33. yeah right says:

    They copy what is hot at the moment.
    And the attach themselves at what is good at the moment it is a way of buying them sanity.

  34. Camille (The original) says:

    I like the colour of Katie’s dress, but I don’t care for the dress or her styling.

  35. Esmom says:

    Love the dress, hate the hair. Makeup is nice. As for Tom, did anyone notice how different he looked in that “candid” video montage where celebs were describing their love of movies? It almost seemed like a Tom impersonator and not actually him, I was freaked out.

    • polk8dot says:

      Yeah, it was really weird. There seemed to be THREE Toms last night. The first one, in the opening sequence, bursting thru the window. There he looked like his old, aged self from MI movies. Then the weirdo showed up – with bulges, bumps and clumps under the skin on his face. Especially when he tried to smile, the under-eye areas were almost bunching up, like there were clumps of fat in there that just all pooled into a single area. The last, and best, Tommy – err, I mean, Benjamin Button – showed up to present the final Oscar. That one seemed to have lost at least 15-18 years from his age. I could not believe how fricking awesome he looked there.
      Oh, well. I guess getting to that final product requires going thru some weird sh!t process that he was caught in the middle of for these 2 other segments.
      Agree, it was totally creepy.

  36. Mara says:

    She looks very beautiful with bangs and that dress is lovely nice color.

  37. anonymoose says:

    Katie’s best feature here is her radiant skin. Wow! The styling = totally MEH.
    Not pregnant though.

    Tom must have a time machine and the best plastic surgeon in the universe. He looks 25 years younger, like his old self, and it is amazing. I am not a fan of his but I give props to his skilled stylist and skilled surgeon. That is some refined work!

    Also, Tom’s suit? Fine cut, fine fit, and WOW!
    He looks perfect, (and even likable. Talking to him for 10 seconds would probably spoil that illusion though….)

  38. ladybert62 says:

    Like the dress – hate the necklace; hate the hairdo, hate the makeup.

  39. Mingy says:

    she looks really pretty, that color looks great on her.

  40. LoL says:

    Katie’s hair looks lame. Tom looks good.

  41. Maritza says:

    The dress looks big on her bust area and it does make her look pregnant but I do like that color on her. Her hairstyle was bad and her makeup was ok.

  42. anon33 says:

    I sort of agree but sort of don’t.

    I agree that IN PICTURES Tom’s work looks very, very good. I think you guys even did a post on it a while back and I was like, “hmm he does look pretty good.”

    However, when I watched the show last night, I was actually taken aback by how weird his face looked and moved. It was just…off somehow. Not necessarily puffy or shiny, just…odd. Like the middle 1/3 of his face was frozen but nowhere else.

    Also, I had to point out all of the face work to my husband-he kept saying “why does so-and-so look so weird?” LOL. Botox, baby!!

  43. Boo says:

    Please explain why the gold chain is “tacky.” Because it’s gold? Is only platinum a “non-tacky” precious metal? Because we don’t wear necklaces with evening gowns anymore for some stupid reason? I’d really love an explanation here…

  44. BELLA says:

    Cameron Diaz is really ruff looking!
    Come on Katie pull the dress up ,lose the stupit bangs,Where is little brat?

  45. Jayna says:

    I love that dress on Katy. It is simply gorgeous.

    Her nose looks so weird since her nose job from certain angles. I still say she was far cuter with the small wider nose she had going.

  46. It is ME!! says:

    Katie and I are the same age. The bodice on this dress does nothing for her bewbs. C’mon, represent us early-thirty ladies.

    That being said, RUN KATIE GURL RUN!!!

    That is all.

  47. Vera says:

    It’s a dress for someone who is nominated, not someone just going to support their husband who is only a presenter. But is is a lovely dress. In the first two pictures I like the whole look, but the third (the closer shot)…yikes. It isn’t just her hair making her look older, it’s everything. She just looks ancient compared to how old she is in that shot. And I hate her makeup in that picture. I don’t know if it was a different camera that just made her look bad (because she looks fine in the others), but wow. Bad.

  48. AnnieC says:

    Katie’s hair is hurting me! When I see Tom now I just think he looks like his Mom!

  49. Shamozzle says:

    Somewhere in a very dark sullen place out there, a peacock is crying.

  50. Kosmos says:

    I see nothing wrong with the dress, beautiful, fits well, and understated. I’m not fond of the bangs look on her though–that could have been left out. No, she doesn’t look pregnant at all, c’mon…Jolie’s dress, on the other hand, was extremely poufy…why not rag on that?

  51. Dirty Martini says:

    Count me in the camp that loves the color of the dress. It doesnt make her look pregnant (who wears a belt at the waist when they are pregnant) per se….it just doesnt flow very well.

    I’m actually OK with the bangs, but she is definitely channeling Princess Katie…oh excust me, Duchess Katherine…..with the eyeliner gone mad.

  52. marie says:

    I think I’m the only one who doesn’t think her hair looks awful….I think she looks nice. he dress looks elegant on her and I love the color.

  53. Isa says:

    I really want to love that dress. But it just looks weird on her.

  54. Bella says:

    She’s 32yo!?! That’s what a bad hair style and make up will do to you. Oh yeah, the Botox does not help either.

  55. Sophie says:

    Love that dress! I like it better than anything we saw at the oscars

  56. Jazz says:

    Still looks zombiefied to me. A zombie pregnancy!

  57. skuddles says:

    I don’t think she looks pregnant at all… Her bangs are atrocious but I quite like the dress. Too bad she has to slouch in an effort not to tower over the wee Tommy.

  58. cruiz2 says:

    Not liking these bangs on anybody. Of course they look great, he (she) goes to Brasil for face work!!!

  59. RdyfrmycloseupmrDvlle says:

    Her facial expressions are the absolute WORST. Constant side smirk?? What is this weird affectation?? Does she ACTUALLY thinks this looks good?? I lost so much respect for Tom that he picked this no talent ninny. Had he kept digging he could have picked a more talented, more beautiful beard and saved his image. Now, he’s that joke with the third rate joke of a smirking wife. Ugh. That smirk! STOP it!!!!

  60. Chrissy says:

    I LOVE her dress but the bodice isn’t fitting her correctly. It looks like she is swimming in it at the top. Either get a push-up bra or take in the top of the dress!

  61. danielle says:

    Katie’s dress is great! Shame about the hair.
