Despite having access to the world’s top stylists, fashion designer and celebrity Katie Holmes has often faced challenges in finding a style that truly suits her.
However, it appears that the 35-year-old actress has finally found her fashion stride. On Tuesday, she made a stunning appearance at a Tiffany’s event, channeling a classic look reminiscent of the TV series Mad Men.
The transformation was remarkable, as the Dawson’s Creek alum looked revitalized, more radiant, and undeniably stylish, arguably the best she’s looked in years.
Modish: Katie Holmes looked sensational in a ’60s inspired shift and pumps at the Tiffany & Blue Book Celebration on Thursday in New York
Katie dazzled in a chic navy shift dress with a sophisticated cream underlay that beautifully complemented her timeless figure.
Her slender legs were elegantly showcased by versatile pointed pumps, a style that has remained popular since the swinging sixties.
Holmes completed her retro-inspired ensemble with a chignon hairstyle, artfully styled with a sweeping half fringe, reinforcing her vintage vibe.
Makeup and jewellery was kept to a minimum, in the former’s case the emphasis was on pretty pink and kohled eyes.

Perfection: Katie looked wonderful in her simple frock
The independent young woman -who has denied she is dating comedian Jason Segal – attended the event solo.
Life has moved on in the 21 months since Katie’s split from Tom Cruise, and she has done a fantastic job of reinventing herself as a working actress with a routine and relatively low-profile.

Confident: Katie knew she’d scored a hit
Key to achieving this was her move to New York, ostensibly to be nearer Broadway but also, it seems, so she can lose herself in the masses of Manhattan.
She certainly seems to enjoy the bustle, which is the antithesis of the deserted yet lushly manicured sidewalks of Beverly Hills where she lived with the 51-year-old megastar.
In Holmes’ Hollywood, getting around would involve nothing more liberating than a blacked out Escalade or pedalling on the spot at Soul Cycle.

Penned by Richard LaGravenese the untitled New York set project ‘revolves around the love and rivalry between two equally matched, powerful socialites, Philip Fitzgerald Julien (Rufus Sewell) and Margot Worth Cole, who play out their obsessive attraction and seduction of each other through their manipulation of others’.
Katie’s character is also a powerful player in the well-to-do world.
