Actress Katie Holmes goes super chic in a midi length patent leather skirt and a simple button-down top at a recent Neiman Marcus grand opening event in NYC. This is a very unexpected, but chic look. I love how Holmes paired a breezy casual shirt (something you may already own) with a shiny patent leather and obviously more upscale skirt. It exudes Katie’s signature “I didn’t try too hard” vibe, and is a perfect example of high/low dressing done right! This outfit is also very easy to put together. Here is how to steal her style and recreate this Katie Holmes celebrity look for less.
Steal Her Style
The Casual Shirt
This button down shirt by Frank & Eileen has a simple silhouette in sateen chambray fabric that adds a special finish to it. You can keep this shirt forever because it is great for both dressing-up or dressing-down.
The Edgy Patent Skirt
This LPA patent pencil skirt is super shiny and sexy! Its to-the-knee length is extremely flattering. It’s a great going out piece for women of all ages.
YES! I LOOK FORWARD TO #GROWINGYOUNGER

Nude Ankle Straps
Add these nude ankle strap shoes similar to Katie Holmes heels to elongate the leg and keep the focus on the apparel instead of the shoes.
The Exotic Print Clutch Bag
This fun leopard and floral print clutch by Ted Baker has the same exotic feel as Katie Holmes’ dragon motif bag. The focus can be on this bag!
A Bit of Bling
Bring this outfit to a close with these pearl finish drop earrings by Kendra Scott to add just a small amount of sparkle. They are available in a wide variety of colors, and just about any pair will work. So go ahead and pick your favorite color, or two.
