Katie Holmes donned a chic look in slingback kitten heels on Friday morning while attending the “Our Town” Broadway Press Event held at the Oak Room at The Algonquin Hotel in New York City.

Dressed in a semi-casual look that welcomes the upcoming fall season, Holmes wore Blazé Milano from top to bottom, sporting the Fauvette Petra Blazer, which she layered over top of the brands’ Vest Gilet Camel. The notch lapel collars contributed to the overall elegance of the blazer, which she paired with the Nariida Sapphire Sayula Jeans, which featured a looser-styled hem at the bottom. Leaving her hair in a relaxed style, the actress kept her makeup dewy and neutral.

As for the shoes, Holmes once again elected to wear slingback kitten heels, which has become a favorite of hers in recent months. Crafted with leather, the shoes featured a pointy upper and a thin strap across the back, which is associated with the slingback style. The silhouette was completed with a short heel that measured between 1-to-2 inches in height.

The comfy footwear look has been a favorite of Holmes for 2024. Earlier this week, she was spotted wearing a silver pair of ballet flats from Franco Sarto that featured a 0.75 inch sculpted heel and a square toe, deviating from the typical rounded toe of a flat, faux leather construction and an upper partially crafted from recycled materials.

In August, Holmes attended a screening of “Pieces of April” at The Paris Theater in New York City wearing a pair of Rachel Comey Cassis mules characterized by high-shine metallic blue leather uppers, a slip-on construction and sharp triangular toes. The shoes were finished with  a 1.3-inch kitten heel and sleek metallic indigo uppers. She paired her footwear with the Rachel Comey Varda top in green textured fabric, equipped with a wavy lettuce trim, black high-waisted jeans in a baggy style and 90s-inspired sunglasses.
