Katie Holmes' Best Shoes and Outfits Through the Years, Photos

Katie Holmes has come a long way since she starred in “Dawson’s Creek” in the late ’90s and early aughts. While she currently prefers a ballet flat for her outfits, over the years, she’s become one to watch when she hits the red carpet or the streets of New York City. Whether she opts for a dress and pumps or a blazer with jeans and boots, Holmes invariably looks effortlessly elegant in whatever designer she’s wearing. In one of her more recent appearances, she attended the star-studded CFDA Awards in a vibrant pink and red Carolina Herrera gown featuring subtle cut-outs at the midsection paired with red Gianvito Rossi slingback pumps. Ahead, discover Katie Holmes’ style evolution through the years.
