Katie Holmes Is Proving The Most Simple Outfits Sometimes Work The Hardest
Between scenes, Holmes has been spotted in a series of effortlessly cool looks, many courtesy of one of her favourite labels, R13. The New York based brand is known for its grungy, downtown aesthetic, a perfect match for both Holmes's personal style and the character she's portraying. The result is a wardrobe that feels natural, practical, and quintessentially New York.
There's also a touch of nostalgia woven into her outfits. Holmes has been reaching for her Chloé Paddington, the iconic It bag of the mid 2000s, which adds a Y2K slant to her otherwise contemporary wardrobe. Combined with dungarees, patchwork denim, and lived in flannels, the styling suggests a character who's grounded yet fashion aware, someone with a wardrobe built on familiar staples rather than fleeting trends.
On set, the sidewalk has become her runway, and Holmes has delivered a steady stream of inspiration for those drawn to unfussy, character driven style. Below we've selected a few of our favourite outfits we've seen on set.
The gradient flannel, also R13, taps into the brand's signature grunge roots. Oversized and slouchy, it has that 'borrowed from a friend' or worn in quality, lending authenticity to her character's New Yorker vibe. 1.
R13, Beige Relaxed Work Shirt 2.
Mint Velvet, Aria Boots
Her patchwork jeans from R13 make a similar case for statement denim, and what better time than now because printed jeans are everywhere. With flowers and butterflies stitched together, they are statement yet wearable, the kind of jeans that brings texture and edge to a simple outfit. 3.
H&M, Poplin Shirt
Price: £18.79 (was £21.99) 4.
R13, Patchwork Jeans
In her arsenal there's a printed Isabel Marant dress, which she's layered over trousers - a combination that nods to the current dress over trousers trend. With its boho leaning print, it brings variety and femininity to her denim heavy rotation, rounding out her on set wardrobe with ease. 5.
Marant Etoile, Maggy Printed Cotton Midi Dress
Her denim dungarees are relaxed but polished and the overalls channel '90s ease. Teamed with tan worn in boots and a layered top, they strike the right balance between practical and cool. 6.
R13, Blue D'Arcy Overalls
Holmes also experimented with a red flannel look, which stood out for its bolder check. While still casual, it injected a punch of colour into her otherwise muted wardrobe, proving there is still power in plaid. 7.
Levi, Western Harlie Flannel Shirt 8.
Reformation, Calie Tank 9.
Chloé Paddington Bag
Doên is a classic celebrity favourite, this exact top that Katie has on, is loved by Taylor Swift too. As always, Katie kept the styling unfussy: pairing the the lace soft poppy blouse with relaxed jeans, ballet flats (very much back in fashion), and the well-worn Chloé Paddington bag - that she's been wearing again and again. 10.
Doên Traveller Poppy Field Blouse 11.
H&M, Tailored Trousers
Together, the looks show Holmes at her best: blending nostalgia with modern ease, grounding statement pieces with basics, and turning the streets of New York into a runway without ever looking like she's trying too hard.

From addiction to a porn-star marriage: What happened to the original Wednesday Addams
History does not record the day of the week when Charles Addams attended a party in New York thrown by a close friend of the poet and actress Joan Blake. We do know it was early in 1964 and that the New Yorker cartoonist was agonising over an upcoming live-action television adaptation of his popular Addams Family cartoons – about a ghoulish family of misfits who lived in morbid seclusion in a spooky mansion. The big headache was the family's little girl – pale of face and menacing of pigtail, but, until that point, nameless. What, Addams fretted to Blake over dinner at PJ Clarke's (a Manhattan restaurant popular with the mid-20th century literati), should he call her? 'I said, 'Wednesday – Wednesday's child is full of woe.' And Wednesday became her name,' Blake told The New Yorker in 2018. Full of woe Wednesday might have been, but the character has quietly become one of the most enduring in Hollywood – as celebrated, in her unsettling, unblinking way, as any superhero or horror movie villain. First brought to life by the troubled child star Lisa Loring in the 1960s TV series, Wednesday remains one of the hottest brands in popular culture: largely thanks to her reinvention as a Gen Z pin-up in Netflix's titular mega-hit, starring Jenna Ortega. Wednesday's reinvention Like a school-going, goth-leaning James Bond, each generation of Addams Family fan has got the Wednesday they deserve: Loring's mischievous youngster, Christina Ricci's grungy Nineties icon, Ortega's darkly sardonic yet shy introvert. But Loring's portrayal remains the most memorable. Born in 1958, she was just five at the time of her audition. 'I got it because of my pout,' she later said. In fact, she was cast – over a 13-year-old rival – because of her resemblance to Carolyn Jones, who portrayed her mother, Morticia Addams. Loring's Wednesday was the original pioneer of the creepy kid species. She played the character relatively straight as a giddy and enthusiastic child – but everything else was distinctly ghoulish. She had two pets: a black widow spider named Homer and a lizard, Lucifer. Her favourite doll was headless, and given the morbid moniker Marie Antoinette. She enjoyed her time on the show, once describing her co-stars as 'like a real family: you couldn't have picked a better cast and crew. Carolyn Jones, John Astin – Morticia and Gomez – they were like parents to me'. She also thought it significantly more sophisticated than its rival, The Munsters, saying The Addams Family was the Marx Brothers compared with The Munsters ' Three Stooges. It was an astute observation, given that the show's producer and head writer, Nat Merrin, had worked with the Marxes and was a friend of Groucho. Away from the screen, however, Loring's life was filled with tragic ups and downs – including addiction, grief and a doomed marriage to a porn star. She was born Lisa Ann DeCinces in 1958 in the Marshall Islands, halfway between Hawaii and Australia in the Pacific Ocean, where her parents were both serving with the US Navy. Just like Ortega, who would don Wednesday's famous black-collared dress 60 years later, Loring's mother had Mexican roots. Loring's parents divorced soon after her birth and she was raised by her mother in Hawaii, and later Los Angeles. Show business came knocking early. By age three she was modelling, and claimed her first acting credit in Dr Kildare in 1964. After The Addams Family was cancelled, when she was just six, Loring had to start over. She picked up small parts in The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. (a spin-off from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) and Fantasy Island. Her biggest post-Wednesday role was in the soap opera As the World Turns, in which she was cast as rebellious teenager Cricket Montgomery. As she reached adulthood, she found it hard to adjust to life post-stardom, with smaller parts in slasher films such as Blood Frenzy marking a big step down from The Addams Family. Struggling to pay the bills, she worked as a make-up artist and interior designer – but substance abuse cast a constant shadow. She turned to drugs and alcohol, before entering rehab in 1990. The following year she discovered the body of her friend Kelly Van Dyke (the niece of the actor Dick), who had died by suicide. Loring, too, tried to take her own life with an overdose. Loring was following a tragic family path. Her mother, Judith Ann Callies, had died from alcoholism in the early 1970s, when her daughter was just 14. The following year, the teenager married her childhood sweetheart, Farrell Foumberg. They had a daughter but broke up soon after. In 1981, there was a second marriage, to soap star Doug Stevenson, and another daughter. Her third marriage was to porn actor Jerry Butler, whom she met while working as a make-up artist on the adult film Traci's Big Trick. Before they were married, Butler had promised to quit the porn industry. But upon discovering that he continued to work in adult films, she divorced him. 'I would not be involved with someone who did that… he was going behind my back and lying to me – that was it,' she said. She went on to remarry, before she died from a stroke in 2023, aged 64. Family history Despite her long afterlife, Wednesday began as an afterthought. She did not feature at all in the first Addams Family cartoon – a single-panel New Yorker illustration from 1946 in which her parents, Gomez and Morticia, assisted by man-servant Lurch, stand on the roof of their haunted mansion, preparing to pour boiling oil on trick-or-treaters below. There was no Wednesday, no severed hand named Thing, no bald Uncle Fester. These would come later. Addams initially didn't even have a name for his macabre clan – and he certainly did not expect that they would become his life's work. If anything, the cartoonist – born in Westfield, New Jersey, in 1912 – bristled at how his characters had been made more palatable by Hollywood; he was especially aghast over the makeover given to Gomez, who had been piggishly ugly in the cartoons (in part inspired by unsuccessful presidential candidate Thomas Dewey) but smartened up for the screen. Still, he didn't object to the royalty cheques, which, along with his New Yorker salary, funded a lavish lifestyle including a two-storey apartment in midtown Manhattan, with a Civil War mortician's embalming table in the dining room. He was also fully occupied as a serial lothario, with love interests including Veronica Lake and Jacqueline Kennedy, whom he allegedly dated mere months after her husband's assassination. Over the decades, Addams's creation has refused to die. Original episodes were re-shown regularly on TV; it was revived on various occasions throughout the 1970s; and the 1991 film, starring Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston and Ricci, won over a whole new generation. It is perhaps Ricci's monstrously deadpan iteration of little Wednesday that Netflix's series owes the most obvious debt – but without Loring, the character may not have ever taken off. As Ortega herself told late-night host Jimmy Fallon in 2022, while discussing the show's viral dance sequence to the Cramps's Goo Goo Muck: 'I paid homage to Lisa Loring, the first Wednesday Addams. I did a little bit of her shuffle that she does. And of course, they cut out of camera when I did do it. But it's there – I know it is'. It was a fitting tribute to the original Wednesday, a strange little girl for whom adulthood proved nothing but one long horror show.

Katie Price 'won't remain silent' as she makes vow ahead of latest podcast episode
Former glamour model Katie Price has found herself embroiled in a controversy after her ex-husband Alex Reid leaked a video of her counting wads of cash amid her bankruptcy Katie Price 's close friends have reportedly said that the former glamour model is adamant about not 'remaining silent' after her ex-husband Alex Reid leaked a video of her counting wads of cash amid her bankruptcy. In the video which was leaked a number of days ago on social media, the mum-of-five, 47, is seen lounging on the couch as she was "enjoying counting" the pile of money in front of her, saying: "There's loads here.. I'm just sorting it out." The reality TV star, who was bankrupted twice over debts totalling more than £3m, was asked by daughter Princess if she would help pay her school fees and those of her second child with ex-husband Peter Andre. Price responded: "Your dad can sit on that' before lifting a middle finger. It comes after Peter Andre's wife Emily reacts to 'cruel' Katie Price swipe in the bombshell video. Wearing white jodhpurs and sat next to a Christmas tree, she continued: 'Does he go on about it a lot? Well it's tough because I'm in bankruptcy to next May now." Katie also refers to a property - 'my London flat' - which fans believe is the property allocated to Peter Andre as part of their divorce settlement. The footage was shared this week by Price's ex, former Big Brother star Reid, who said in a statement that 'the truth will now be heard'. The Mirror understands that the one minute and 38 second video, believed to have been filmed in late 2020, has been sent to Price's bankruptcy trustee who continues to 'seek realisations from various third parties'. Following the release of the video, Katie released a statement, explaining that the cash in the video didn't belong to the Mucky Mansion star. A representative for the star said: "This is a video that was shared with Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy several months ago and Katie has fully complied with the Trustee's investigations into the same. The cash featured did not belong to Katie and the property referred to was dealt with in the financial settlement proceedings arising out of Katie's divorce from Peter Andre. "Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy is aware of the property and has undoubtedly investigated whether the same ought to be comprised in the bankruptcy estate." Following the now viral leaked video, Katie's close friends have said that they are surprised at how calm she is taking the whole controversy, and she isn't letting it get her down as she continues to pour herself into her work. While many others may shy away from speaking out publicly, Katie is set to continue to voice her truth as her latest podcast episode is still going ahead on Thursday - as it does every week. The former glamour model, who hosts The Katie Price show with her sister Sophie, is going full steam ahead as usual - a move which her pals think will frustrate Reid even further. Insiders told The Sun: "We're all really surprised by how calm she has been, as Alex's latest stunt would send most people into a very dark place. This isn't the first time Kate's ex husbands and partners have ganged up on her, but the last time it happened, it drove her over the edge and we were all seriously worried about her. This time around though, she is in a completely different place." "Her feeling is, if Alex Reid wants to create a drama to get himself some attention, then good for him. She is refusing to stoop to his level by coming out all guns blazing as she has in the past. That's what the old Katie would have done, but this time around Katie is in no rush to publicly comment on this latest attempt to bring her down," the source added. The insiders went on to claim that Katie 'will have her say' at some point, adding that 'you can't silence or keep the Pricey down'. Katie's podcast drop will go ahead tomorrow, but she won't be mentioning the drama surrounding the leaked video because it was recorded before it surfaced on social media. However, her pals have said that even if it had been recorded afterwards, it would not have silenced her. "She recorded this week's upcoming episode on Monday, before Alex dropped the video, but even if she had known about the video then, she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of talking about him publicly at the moment," they added. The former glamour model was bankrupted twice, first in 2019 over debts totalling £3.5m, including £970,639 to HMRC and then again last March over a second £761,994 unpaid HMRC demand for money earned while she was already bankrupt. Creditors include Alex Reid who is owed £175,000 in High Court damages and costs he was awarded after she revealed a sex tape he says was filmed without his consent. Along with the leaked footage, Alex shared a statement saying he was "spearheading a campaign to expose the truth". He said: "Over the years you have seen countless stories by Katie Price directed at me, Peter, Keiran and others. Today I want to be clear. I am spearheading a campaign to expose the truth. "This isn't about gossip but about evidence. It's not about rumour, it's about reality. After years of silence, the time has finally come to reveal all."

This Is The Surprising Transitional Item That Chic Women Are Backing For Autumn - And It's Selling Fast
@@irynaa.h, @ictoriaanoell, @lizlizlive If there's one print that always feels synonymous with autumn, it's animal print. And right now, it's zebra that's dominating my feed, specifically, Mango's linen waistcoat, which I've spotted on some of the chicest women online. ©Instagram @victoriaanoell Normally, I'd shy away from animal motifs, but this piece feels different: elevated, sharp, and with just the right amount of personality. It's the kind of transitional buy that bridges late summer and early autumn seamlessly, looking as polished with barely-there sandals as it does layered up once the temperature drops. While the exact version making the rounds has already sold out, Mango has a similar zebra-print waistcoat that offers the same silhouette with an equally impactful finish. 1. Mango Zebra Print Linen Waistcoat Black & White Zebra print is stepping up as the new neutral for transitional dressing, and Mango's linen waistcoat is proof of its staying power. The halter neckline and subtle peplum cut give it polish, while the print adds instant personality. Wear it on its own with wide-leg jeans, throw it over tailored shorts for an easy city look, or go all in with the matching trousers for the full coord moment, the way the Instagram It-girls are already doing it. And when autumn properly sets in? Layer it under a leather jacket with a slip skirt and ankle boots for a look that feels sharp, modern and effortless. It also comes in a rich brown version, the one I'd personally gravitate towards, with a slightly softer spin on the print. 2. Mango Zebra Print Linen Waistcoat Brown Just as chic but more understated, this toned-down colourway is perfect if you want the zebra moment without going full statement. Think of it as the versatile alternative: just as easy to style with denim, tailoring or the matching trousers, but with a subtler edge that transitions effortlessly from day to night. If zebra isn't the only print catching your eye this season, the high street is packed with equally chic options. Here are a few we're loving, all easy to style and perfect for transitional dressing. 3. H&M Zebra Print Light Beige This long, fitted waistcoat from H&M is made from a soft woven fabric with a V-neckline, button-down front, and welt pockets. Fully lined and available with a matching midi skirt, it's a refined take on the coord trend, perfect for office styling or weekend layering. 4. AX Paris White Abstract Print Waistcoat Price: £30 This white waistcoat is giving us all the right modern vibes with its black abstract print and sleek, fitted shape. Layer it over jeans for a casual-cool look, or throw it on with tailored trousers for a desk-to-drinks outfit that actually works. One reviewer even raved, 'Perfect waistcoat which looked great with flared jeans. The fabric is good quality and great for the summer.' Honestly, it's the kind of piece that makes getting dressed feel just that little bit more fun. 5. River Island Brown Zebra Print Waistcoat A softer, fluid counterpart to the Mango, this waistcoat has the same halterneck charm but in a lighter, flowing fabric. It's less structured but just as chic. I'd style it over jeans for off-duty ease or with tailored trousers for a more refined city look. It's machine washable, too, which makes it feel both luxe and practical. 6. Oliver Bonas Leopard Print Scalloped Denim Waistcoat For those who prefer leopard over zebra, this sleeveless denim waistcoat is woven in a tonal brown print with bronze buttons and scalloped trims. Wear it alone or layered over a tee, or pair with the matching wide-leg jeans for a coordinated look that's effortlessly stylish. 7. ZW Collection Animal Print Blazer Not a waistcoat, but this ultra-chic Zara blazer is everything we've been dreaming of in a zebra print. Sophisticated yet playful, it elevates any outfit. Wear it over a slip dress for effortless elegance, or go head-to-toe with the matching zebra trousers for a fully coordinated look. Made from a luxe viscose and 21% linen blend, it feels as good as it looks. Details include a notched lapel, long sleeves with buttoned vents, front flap pockets, a chest welt pocket, and a double-breasted fastening, giving it structure and polish without feeling stiff.
