Katie Holmes Made a T-Shirt and Mango Jacket Look Remarkably Expensive
Is it just me, or has Katie Holmes been on a roll with her outfits lately? There was that viral cashmere bra moment and then her perfect $50 Zara shoes, but her latest outfit might just be my favorite. Holmes’s outfit is sleek and easy to re-create but packs a major punch at the same time. Chances are you already have several of the pieces you need to copy Holmes’s look, but if you don’t, it might be time to invest.
Her winning formula? She swapped skinny jeans for neutral wide-leg pants, opted for coordinating black shoes and bag, and finished it off with a striking Mango Lapels Wool Coat ($200) in a burnt orange color that simply screams fall. What’s not to love? I’ll be the first to admit that I wouldn’t normally seek out an orange jacket, but Holmes just #influenced me to buy one ASAP. While her Acne Studios shoes and Louis Vuitton bag aren’t exactly budget-friendly, you can absolutely re-create this look with accessories you already own. Scroll down to see how she styled it with a white T-shirt and shop the pieces she’s wearing.

Penelope Cruz Wore the Denim Trend That’s Rivaling Skinny Jeans to the Airport
Penelope Cruz airport sightings aren’t all that common, so when one surfaces, our attention is had. At first glance, Cruz’s travel outfit may seem to be a bit ordinary, but we immediately noticed that she’s wearing the top denim trend of the fall/winter season: long (and often loose) jeans. You’re probably thinking Well that’s a subtle trend right about now, and you’re not wrong, but after years of cropped skinny jeans being the end-all, be-all denim style, it’s actually quite refreshing to see full-length jeans make a comeback, in a ’90s supermodel kind of way.
Cruz paired her jeans with a tee and blazer and accessorized with platform combat boots and an oversize bag, both also on-trend. She also opted to cuff her jeans, which is certainly a cool look this season, especially if you just can’t with the tailor. Keep scrolling to see her look and shop the denim trend of the season.
