Katie Holmes has been a mainstay on several red carpets since she rose to fame in the early aughts. Over the years, Holmes’ style has transformed from simple, Y2K trends to designer looks and Met Gala attire.
While Holmes’ fashion choices traditionally gravitate towards tradition silhouettes with a contemporary edge, the actress regularly experiments with shape, color and more.
At the 2024 CFDA Awards, for example, Holmes wore a bright pink and red Carolina Herrera gown, which featured an open back and a black bow detail at the back of the neckline flowing down the back of the garment.
Holmes also attended her fair share of Met Galas, wearing looks by Calvin Klein and Zac Posen.
Here, see how Katie Holmes’ style transformed over more than 20 years.
