Denim Transformation: Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes has certainly come a long way—in her career, personal life and most importantly, style. From her days as the innocent and lovable Joey Potter in Dawson’s Creek (yes admit it, we know you’ve all seen the show) to the ever-poised, effortlessly stylish, Mrs. Cruise, Katie’s been a regular fixture on our screens for years. And the same goes when she’s out and about wearing denim. We’ve seen this girl rock all of the different denim style—bootcuts, flare jeans, skinnys, probably even jeans from Tom’s closet—you name it, she’s been photographed wearing it. She’s even been dubbed by fashionistas as the one who started the boyfriend jean trend.

To sum it up, we at INDI are taking a look at how Katie’s denim style evolved, piece by piece and year by year. In mid-1990’s Katie played it safe—wearing your classic dark jeans with plain t-shirts but by the turn of the millenium, she started experimenting more by dressing her daily denim up with various pieces like pointed shoes and laced up long sleeves. In 2003, Katie debuted an edgy denim look in the movie Pieces of April .

I guess its safe to say by 2008, Katie’s signature style becomes permanent (and popular). At one point, she’s been spotted wearing different versions of the boyfriend jeans—for three days in a row. She was also seen rocking some wide leg jeans —which is also a trend that’s made a huge comeback in the fall. Fast forward to today, this lady has come full circle by recently stepping out with skinny jeans (we think its her best look yet). We cant wait to see what denim style she’ll bring back next!
