Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Katie Holmes is living her best life in the best outfits.
The Dawson’s Creek star, 47, was recently spotted strolling around New York City in a sleek (and not schlubby!) outfit consisting of a silky-looking slip dress and black Mary Janes, a shoe trend celebrities keep wearing. She then finished off the look with a colorful Hawaiian shirt and a black bag.
The getup was classy yet breathable — and even more so, if she decided to shed the top layer — and most importantly, extremely comfy. (Who wants to wear hot, clingy clothes when temperatures are extra brutal?) TL;DR: Holmes is inspiring me to slip into something similar, like the styles down below.
Quince 100% Washable Silk Slip Dress
Not only are slip dresses like this one super airy for hot, sticky days, but they’re also lightweight enough to pack into a carry-on or suitcase. In other words, they’re practically made for summer vacations. Don’t believe me? One shopper described this under-$100 pick as “wonderfully silky” and “light as a feather.”
Bonus: It’s also made from washable silk, meaning you can clean it yourself at home or at hotels when on-the-go. It comes in 12 colors, including black, green, and champagne à la Dakota Fanning.
Franco Sarto Tinsley Mary Jane Flats
I’m not sure where exactly Holmes bought her flats, but I do know A) she’s worn Franco Sarto shoes before, and B) the brand is very comfortable — I own a pair of its heels and can wear them all night without blisters or aches and pains.
This pair has a shiny patent finish, much like Holmes’, and an adjustable leather strap that won’t stretch out over time like those with elastic ones. They also have built-in cushioning that makes them wearable for long periods of time. “They are beautiful and oh so comfortable. I’m a teacher and can be up on my feet all day, and they don’t bother me,” said one shopper.
Rtprtp Bucket Bag
On vacation, I like to go all out with my accessories — which is great in theory, but it doesn’t always work out. This bag, however, has both a handle and a crossbody strap, so I can carry it by hand at the beginning of the day, but transition over to a hands-free approach once the night wears on.
Plus, the “genuine leather feels soft and well-made,” and it’s “the perfect size for carrying my phone, wallet, keys, and a few small essentials without being bulky,” according to one reviewer.
