Final 12 months, one Vogue author declared that “unhinged dressing” is eclipsing the minimalist model that beforehand dominated our wardrobes, because of manufacturers like Khaite and The Row. The rise of viral trend TikTokers, similar to Clara Perlmutter (@TinyJewishGirl) and Mandy Lee (@OldLoserInBrooklyn), embracing a maximalist aesthetic signaled the onset of a method evolution the place showcasing character takes priority over paring issues again. Now, Katie Holmes seems to be embracing a more-is-more strategy at New York Vogue Week.

On the Alice + Olivia presentation in Chelsea’s Highline Phases, the actor showcased a daring ensemble of unconventional separates. Layering a pale denim button-up shirt over a black tee, she wore them with high-waisted, wide-leg denims in a deeper hue. Accentuating her look was a cropped beige trench coat adorned with outsized lapels, complemented by a white leather-based top-handle bag. For much more of a twist, Katie opted for black leather-based square-toe sandals paired with eye-catching brilliant fuchsia tights.

Though every element of the actor’s outfit could seem peculiar by itself, their mixture creates a conflict (double denim, a cropped trench, and scorching fuchsia tights?) But, when thoughtfully curated, like an off-beat piece of latest artwork on the Guggenheim Museum, Katie’s look exemplifies how dressing with character can lead to a trend triumph.
