Katie Holmes Carries Summer Shoes into Winter with Tights at Ulla Johnson’s NYFW Show

Katie Holmes just proved summer footwear can easily be worn in the wintertime—even during a snowstorm—while attending Ulla Johnson‘s Fall 2022 fashion show at New York Fashion Week. The runway event, held at the New York Public Library, also featured a star-studded front row including Holmes, Sarita Choudhury and Huma Abedin.

For the occasion, the “Dawson’s Creek” star fashionably arrived in a black parka. The utilitarian garment featured elegant elements like a waist tie and puffed sleeves, bringing it instant femininity. Holmes smartly paired the piece with a knee-length skirt, creating a monochrome moment that was tough but sweet. In true minimalist style, her look was accessorized with just stud earrings, a gold chain and gold crystal pendant necklaces.

When it came to shoes, however, Holmes made the case for restyling summer footwear for winter. The “Logan Lucky” actress wore a pair of woven shoes, which–though they did feature rounded closed toes—were crafted from leather strips with curved uppers for a netting effect, making them ideal for warmer temperatures. However, she wore them over a pair of black tights, creating a fully streamlined ensemble while revamping non-winter footwear.

The trick spotlit Holmes’ masterful layering abilities and proved her ability to cleverly repurpose pieces regardless of their season. After all, who could forget her cashmere cardigan-and-bralette moment that’s inspired countless others in the fashion industry for over two years?
