Katie Holmes goes grandma for White House dinner
Celebrity Style, Daily News | Samantha O'Neill | May 11, 2009
Katie Holmes is such a style anomaly, when she gets it right she gets it so very very right, when she gets it wrong it’s a disaster. We loved her in the Alexander McQueen ensemble, but now she has undone all her good work in this monster of a style statement.
For a dinner party held at the White House Katie Holmes and hubbie Tom Cruise were just two of the starry guests, others included of course the Obamas, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Natalie Portman, Eva Longoria, Jason Wu, Rhys Meyers, Donatella Versace and then there was Sting and Gordon Ramsay. You get the picture. This was one hell of a party.
So what does any gorgeous 29-year-old wear to such an elaborate bash? Well why not a floor length cream skirt with a silk cream vest top and then a loose fitting cream jacket? Sounds like a real winner, we don’t think. What Katie Holmes was thinking I don’t know. It’s made all the worse by the fact her outfit was designed by herself and is from her Holmes-Yang collection. Her make up is great, but the outfit, it’s drab, unflattering and aging. Oh dear Katie.
Whilst Eva, Natalie and Demi looked sexy, youthful and gorgeous, Katie was left looking like their chaperone. Surprisingly Michelle Obama wasn’t looking her best either. Whilst everyone else flaunted about in evening dresses she looked dressed for a day out.
What do you make of Katie Holmes’ style? Do you like her classic look or would you rather see her looking more like her showbiz peers?

I don’t think Katie looks bad at all.
Katie Holmes looks like she is wearing an outfit for a seventy year old woman. It’s what I’d expect to see Barbara Bush wear to a DC dinner.
Katie always looks horrible and I laugh at the steadfast determination of her PR team to try to turn her into a ’style icon’. She has no fashion sense, no sense of what works on her own body type and looks completely uncomfortable with no idea how to carry herself (usually it’s head down with shoulders slumped). She just turned thirty and has lost every ounce of her former feminity and sexuality.
Plus, the material on that suit like her other ‘creations’ looks polyester-cheap.
i love her makeup and i adore her top and pants she is wearing but i gotta say that her top jacket is not her style its for more for an older woman and too much white for the white house. I think that maybe she would of wore something more colorfull and more spring something that brings more the attention to the audience. She looks beautiful and pretty as usual ,but perphaps she sould try another color next time she is is invited to the white house.
I think she looks hot!
I dont think Katie looks that bad here. Im not a fan of white but it could have been worse. Tbh someone should tell her husband about his cheesy grin and shiny face. He looks letchy.
