Katie Holmes in ill-fitting clothes, chunky booties: tragic or typical?

wenn3352387

These are some new photos of Katie Holmes at an event called “Beauty Culture” – I think it was a photography exhibit. The guests included Halle Berry, Dita Von Teese, and tons of Scientology people, so take that however you want. I’m just going to be covering Katie Holmes’s appearance. Now… I’ve been yelled at before when I’ve criticized Katie for not dressing for her body. Most normal women understand their body faults and figure out ways to minimize their perceived faults and accentuate their positives. Katie never learned. She consistently wears styles that emphasize the wrong features. Plus, she’s just one of those chicks who makes expensive clothes look cheap. I can’t even begin to describe how this above-the-knee skirt and chunky booties were not the right choice for Katie’s legs. It should be a crime to do this to yourself. When are women going to realize this? If you have anything other than super-slim, toned legs, these booties will make your legs look TERRIBLE.

I do think Katie’s hair looks pretty. Over the weekend, I dyed my hair for the first time (ever), and it ended up a similar color to Katie’s. She also looks like she got some sun (probably from sitting by the pool all day with her daughter), which works on her. Should I talk about the clothes? They’re awful and ill-fitting. She has no taste.

By the way, as I looking through photos of Katie, I found this one of she and Tom at the taping of Oprah’s farewell show extravaganza. This is the face of contract renegotiations.

    holy stepford housewife!!!

    she looks terrifying in that last pic.

    ps – she has the most unfortunate kneecaps ever.

    worst than Beyoncé’s. 🙁

  2. Kimbob says:

    Katie is a pretty woman, but gawd she’s got some tree trunks for legs…no way around that. This article is “right on,” because Katie cannot/refuses to dress for her body type.

  3. brin says:

    It’s also the face of a Stepford wife (in pic with Tom).
    I agree that she doesn’t dress as well as she could and most of what she wears looks cheap and unflattering.

  4. RocketMerry says:

    Meh on the clothes. Her make up and hair are gorgeous, though.
    And I totes want to believe you about the contract renegotiations, but there’s been talk about it forever and that damn piece of paper never expires nor seems to change in her advantage. Can’t she just break free, already?

  5. Brittney says:

    I dye my hair that color a couple of times a year. Mine’s only a few shades lighter, but there’s just something striking about this rich brown.

    You’re right, she definitely needs to learn to play up her best features.

  6. Julia says:

    She’s such a pretty zombie. Such a pretty, pretty…zombie.

  7. Krissy says:

    If you ever read stuff from scientology survivors, they often say they felt like a Stepford Wife after completing the next level of auditing…it takes something out of you I guess.

    That is not the face of contract renegotiations…it’s the face of scientology.

  8. Marie says:

    She seems to show up at events in the most inappropriate clothing. I am thinking of what she wore to the opening of The Kennedy’s. Her outfit for the taping of the Oprah event is awful.

  9. mln76 says:

    Poor Katie I can’t wait for her time to be up and for her to escape with little Suri somewhere off to Normalsville.

    @ poster #4 9:27am were you hired by Tom’s PR team to help bring down Katie’s value in the contract negotiations????(LOL)

  10. Kloops says:

    Channeling Middleton again I see. Katie has the absolute worst fashion sense. She
    is not a fashion icon and I wish Tom would quit trying to sell us this bag of beans. Enough already.

  11. sapphire says:

    Wrinkled silk boxer shorts? Ugh. Does she look in the mirror before she leaves the house? That first outfit is particularly tragic-none of it works. The jacket is the wrong color and style for the dress. The shade of brown is unflattering. Kaiser’s already dealt with the bootie issue.
    From what I was told, there were actually two different contracts before the wedding- one before the pregnancy, the other addressed paternity.

  12. You don't say says:

    That photo of her with Tom is scary. She looks totally glazed over and in wrinkled silk shorts no less. Now I see he is wearing his hair puffed up in front to try and look taller, along with his normal shoe lifts. He should own his small stature and stop trying to be what he is not–TALL.

  13. jacq says:

    Whatever material the bottom outfit is made from, it reminds me of a salmon colored shirt I had from The Limited back in 1993. Not a good.thing. Why is she also mixing what appears to be cotton eyelet with suede shoes in May??

  14. Kasey says:

    WOW!!! Her face is looking REALLY pretty! That should keep her spirits up. Hang in there, girl!

  15. Sue says:

    Here she goes again with the ill-fitting clothes and in the last picture could she not Iron her shorts silk wrinkles fast she should know that as a “designer” this woman just has no taste or fashion sense.

  16. Bubbling says:

    Oh than God! I thought comments would be like “she has so healthy legs blah blah” but she indeed has some unfortunate legs, I seriously don’t understand why she insists on showing them when her upper body is so much more beautiful. I like the booties tho, but NOT with that dress or her…And now I feel guilty for being so bitchy

  17. aenflex says:

    I really feel badly for this poor, beautiful giantess. Her suffering, ya know? I’m serious, I want to hug her.

  18. Elizabeth says:

    @ SayNo@2Katie

    You’ve got a good point. Tom has gotten all the PR that he can out of this “marriage” and he will spend millions to win custody of Suri (“joint custody” like with Nicole but Suri will never leave his side). So there isn’t much left for him there. And since the marriage was all PR from the start, why not move on? Unless a PR marriage is better than him pretend-dating young starlets, I guess. And another marriage would be #4 – a bit hard to explain/ justify.

  19. Crash2GO2 says:

    Very very pretty hair and face. I do wonder (however) if she may not have been lobotomized.

  20. Quest says:

    The last pic is a dousy, Katie looks she is in tranche or something – blank expression on face

  21. mln76 says:

    @SayNo2Katie you mean he should hire a model to marry him next? The man is a laughing stock in Hollywood no actress as beautiful as Angie or Aishwarya would bother with the Bullshit involved of being with that psycho Scieno. The best thing he could do for himself is retire.

  22. ladybert62 says:

    well her hair color is pretty but she needs a decent haircut! Knees and elbows are not the best part of the human anatomy and should be covered – especially on this woman.

    And in that last picture she looks like she is thinking/saying: If I pretend hard enough that I am not here, I wont really be here! Dang, what a blank stare.

  23. LittleFATMe says:

    I LOVE her in white, the green is great with her eyes, her hair looks AMAZING, love it long! I think I like this because it really reminds me of a few years ago when she had the white suit on and long hair, a truly great look for her! http://www.lasplash.com/publish/cat_index_Style_and_Fashion/Fashion_Trend_Watch-Back_in_White.php

  24. Nanea says:

    @ # 18: or maybe Tom should own up to the existence of the closet he’s trying to keep so well hidden, how about that?

    I’m looking forward to the day some Federal Agency or other grows a pair and busts that cult and make them pay taxes on everything.

    On topic: Katie doesn’t seem to own a mirror, and all of Tom’s money doesn’t seem to be able to secure a stylist for his wife who knows what s/he is doing.

  25. albeli says:

    We know she loves to shop, and no doubts drops a ton of cash while doing so, but she REALLY needs a stylist (other than Suri). She has no fashion sense at all. She doesn’t even understand fit.

  26. k says:

    At least she’s looking healthier in the face/hair lately. I wonder if that pumpkin-colored blouse is from Ann Taylor, her employer?

    I think the country-western look is “in” now (remember Heigl’s awful cowgirl ensemble?), hence the booties.

  27. Franny says:

    worst kneecaps ever? those look like every pair of knees I’ve ever seen. What a dumb thing to criticize. Also, she does not have “tree trunk for legs”. Look, you people (commenters, not CB and Kaiser, as you ladies never say super rude things about women’s bodies) are delusional. You harp on people being too skinny, but then you have a girl who would be considered thin in life outside of hollywood, and just because her thighs may touch, all of a sudden she has tree trunk legs. Should she wear those mocassin boot hybrids? No. Not a good look. But should we talk about her toned legs being tree trunks because we think this: http://www.celebitchy.com/148636/is_model_candice_swanepoels_weight_loss_really_that_radical/ is normal. get a grip.

  28. Obvious says:

    her hair and makeup look gorgeous. it’s a shame Katie is really a very pretty girl, but she always looks zombiefied, stoned or unhappy. i kind of want to take her home rehabilitate her and give her some fashion advice!

  29. gee says:

    A+ Franny

  30. Justaposter says:

    Love the booties (just not with that outfit!)

    Love her makeup!! Wish I knew what it was.. I am thinking bobbi brown?

    Last picture.. should be shown to every young “starlette” as a “Kids you don’t want to be a trophy wife” warning.. you know kinda like the ‘faces of meth’ campaign

  31. grazi says:

    ITA Franny!

  32. original kate says:

    not many women can rock the booties – kate moss can, SJP can, and maybe a couple of others. mostly they just look like hooves.

  33. sapphire says:

    @Fanny-I’m not dissing her weight, shape or proportions. I am critical that she doesn’t wear clothes that fit, that harmonize or even look ironed.

  34. Danny says:

    Why does she look more alive in the solo shots compared to when she’s standing next to Tom?

    In that last pic you can see Tom is holding on to her wireless remote control.

  35. Maritza says:

    She has beautiful legs, great body and face. I like what she is wearing.
    What I don’t like is the smirk she does in almost every photo of her. She looks hypnotized in that photo with Tom.

  36. Sue says:

    Fanny@ your confusing toned legs with thick legs Katie has very thick legs that’s why her thighs may touch; people call legs like Katie’s tree trunks legs because their thick and soled like the trunk of a tree. My sister has legs like Katie’s and she calls her legs tree trunk all the time and she loves the shape of her legs and wears clothes that make them look their best.

  37. anne says:

    She looks so unhappy. And I too thought Stepford wife immediately.

  38. Franny says:

    Sapphire: I wasn’t referring to people who make fun of her clothes. I completely agree that people who don’t know how to dress for their body shape should be made fun of this site. Thats what we are here for! But to talk about how she has terrible kneecaps (hi, please show me “nice knee caps”) is just ridiculous.

    Sue: I guess 98% of the women in this country/world have tree trunk legs, if your definition of tree trunk legs is that the touch each other.

    I think her choice of shoes was bad for her leg type. But she does not have thick legs nor should she stop wearing shorts/dresses just because her legs aren’t stick thin.

  39. 4Real says:

    Typically Tragic??

  40. Susan says:

    Franny for president. Ask 10 men what they think of Katie Holmes’ legs, and I’ll bet nine will love them. The 10th is a breast man.

  41. TeeTee says:

    yup, I too dye my hair a couple of times a year and I have been on the cocoa brown for a minute, I love it.

    all I can say is her face looks pretty, I hate that look w/the short boots, and dresses–

    I see soo many women that think they are styling and it makes them look stumpy and thick at the bottom.. I’d never wear those unless they are under some nice slacks, peeping out–can’t do it to myself, LOL

    I have too pair and i wear them wide boot cut jeans or nice dess slacks and a nice blouse.

    poooor Katie-her face in the last frame

    She thinking of making a run for it, but she knows she’ll get caught and punished.

  42. Cheyenne says:

    Poor woman. She looks like an empty shell.

  43. mommyesq says:

    lmao on that last pic/caption!!!

  44. RovingLass says:

    Love her hair and makeup. The colour of the dress really makes her eyes pop. Now if I could only get my hair that shiny.

  45. Micki says:

    I don’t think she’s even trying to dress: neither her everyday clothes are doing her justice (Jennifer Garner’s better there)nor her evening wear is cutting edge. Nearly everybody’s better than her.
    Does she have a stylist ?

  46. janica says:

    Pretty girl. Unfortunate looking legs.

  47. sharylmj says:

    her hair and face really do look very very pretty… but WOW!!! SHE LOOKS MISERABLE WHEN HE’S AROUND!!! I hope she gets a break someday.. this goes to show that you can’t buy happiness!!

  48. TG says:

    @Susan – I just asked my husband what he thinks of stepford’s legs and he said they aren’t bad whereas I think they look too big. But I think it is the clothes she wears though that make her look off.

    I do agree with many on here her hair is very nice.

  49. poodlemom says:

    Is Katie pregnant? Maybe that’s why the clothes are ill-fitting!

  50. endoplasmic ridiculum says:

    hooray! someone whose face looks better than usual today.

    She looks great!

  51. SoCal says:

    Wow, there is a lot of hate on her legs, I would love to see others legs in comparison. I think she looks great and has a nice body and toned healthy legs, I guess if she starved herself and had legs like Leann Rimes then she would be alright…

  52. crtb says:

    Her leggs look fine. I wish I had leggs that looked as nice as hers.

  53. Becky says:

    I’m not crazy about her outfits (particularly the shorts), but her legs look fine to me. It’s hard for me to believe that anyone thinks that they look unfortunate! She’s a very pretty girl-IMO, her marriage is unfortunate, not her legs. She’s slim but not at all emaciated. I think she looks great.

  54. locamochagirl says:

    In your last paragraph, you say “I found this one of she and Tom.” You’re supposed to say “her.” It’s an object of a preposition, which warrants the objective case pronoun, her. She is a nominative or subjective case pronoun.

  55. lea+ann=crap says:

    if he married again that would be his fifth marriage..this is his fourth

  56. Crash2GO2 says:

    I hope one day Katie escapes from all of this and writes a tell all book.

  57. crazydaisy says:

    I think Katie has nice legs.

    Kneecaps have “faces” sometimes – Paulina Porizkova has talked about hers – kinda cute, no? But I do prefer the stockinged leg look that hopefully Pippa is bringing back. Bare legs are not as attractive on a woman unless you’re at the beach, genetically gifted or under 21.

  58. Hunny says:

    Why she never change and learn from commenter? She always look boring and sad.

  59. Annie_Grey says:

    If there is a contract, I say it’s still got 5-6 years left. It’s only been around 4 1/2, and I think 10 years would probably be around where it is. Seems like they’ve been married forever.

  60. cruiz2 says:

    Such a yucky, weird combo piece. Her legs…Meh! She’s young now but knees will only get doughy worse with age. Her attention is as Tom’s rich wife/shopping. Her only talent was having shady
    Suri!!!

  61. Mtn Girl says:

    Tree Trunks that no amount of barley water can cure. Ever. Booties do NOT help, sorry 🙁

  62. Kim says:

    The boots arent bad they just dont go with the terrible outfit. This girl can not dress for the life of her. She REALLY needs a stylist.

    Why does she just look absolutely miserable when pictured next to Tom? BY herself she doesnt look like this? She just cant hide that she is miserable with him – sad.
