Last night was the LA premiere of Adam Sandler’s new film, Jack & Jill – that’s the one where he plays his own twin sister. Thankfully, Sandler didn’t show up in drag, but that means the only slightly interesting person on the red carpet was little Katie Holmes. Now, as I was going through the photos, my horror grew stronger by the second as I looked at this dress from various angles. And yes, it’s a DRESS. It’s not a separate blouse and skirt. As I looked harder, I thought to myself, “This is one of the most hideous things I’ve ever seen on Kate-bot. I bet she designed it herself.” Well, she did. This is Holmes & Yang – something that Katie and her “design partner” came up with on their own. HOW UNFLATTERING IS THIS JUNK?
It makes her look big-hipped. The skirt is stiff-looking and the wrong length. While the purple-fuchsia color is flattering with her coloring, the top part is exceptionally cheap-looking and poorly tailored. The whole thing is really cheap looking, honestly. There is a “home-sewn” quality that you shouldn’t find in professionally made clothing. It’s just so awful. Why does the skirt’s waist look like it’s been rolled over onto itself a few times? Is that supposed to happen in “dresses”?
Now, for something nice – her hair looks really healthy and pretty. Her makeup is very fresh and pretty. She doesn’t look drugged out of her mind. And there isn’t a deranged, lift-wearing midget hovering around her. So, this appearance was a mixed bag, basically.

It all just seems too big….
I completely agree with you– I saw that skirt waist and was just “whaaaaa?” It’s so thick and weird, and unflattering, and the length really doesn’t flatter her legs at all. The shoes are pretty bad too.
All together fug! Hair – horrible. Saggy boob look – ick. Outfit – cheap looking. Legs – ugly. Choice of shoes (and length of skirt) REALLY BAD for leg type. WTH! With her money, how can she go out looking like this!? Hire someone to dress you – and if you have one now, fire him/her!
jeeze. she looks awful. and possibly a little druggy?
This is the only time I can say, I’ve seen a black skirt make someone’s hips look bigger.
Also a good fitting bra that dosn’t show would be helpful here.
See this is what happens when you start f’ing around with thetans and xenu and a sewing machine. WTF is she wearing, I flunked Home Ec and can still design better than this shit. Yeah I failed home ec LOL but still damn what was she thinking when she left the house.
Skirt is horrible.
A bit shallow but there is such weird lighting in the fourth picture – suddenly her hair is black!
Lumpy body, plastic face & fake hair look ok. No one would care about KH if she wasn’t married to TC. She has a smug smile just like Ted Bundy..creepy.
Ooooh Katie, you so fierce!
Hahahahahaha! Thanks for the laughs!
Wow, that is really bad….
She looks cheap, and medicated.
Unflattering, badly made and, I might add, ill-fitting as well.
Her hair, skin and makeup look good though.
This is monstrous. It looks like two dresses that were haphazardly put together to make an outfit. Cut bottom of purple dress to make a top. Cut the top of the black dress to make a skirt. Ooops! The skirt’s not the right length. Quick! Roll it around the waist and call it fashion.
holy sh.
nope, the top could somehow be chic but that skirt ruins the whole ensemble. I don’t know how these people can just run around asking people to make their so called “designs” come to fruition, what a waste.
One good thing is, she’s wearing a bra. Not the best one, but she has looked worse without one. Terrible dress, at least whomever was pushing her as some kind of style icon has stopped. She really is not a great actress, has a funky bodytype, does not know very well what flatters her, and has NO style to boot… What she has is money, hair and a nice face, give her that.
What the heck? At least her hair looks good.
Big hips are not necessarily a bad thing. But there’s Christina Hendricks big hips — which make her look sexy and feminine — and there’s this crap. Oy vey.
Not to mention those horrible ankle cutting shoes. I thought they stopped making that style (pointy toed hideous shoes) back in 2000.
She looks mortified, and like she’s trying NOT to be seen….
At this point, she might as well go to Banana Republic and Ann Taylor pick anything off the rack and still have it fit better than whatever the heck she’s wearing. I’m willing to bet she’s charging at least 2 grand for that monstrosity.
The top part makes her look thin and the bottom makes her look an extra 20-30 pounds heavier. Why hasn’t anyone told her not to wear shoes with ankle straps or ankle booties for that matter. They do nothing for her.
Both.
She looks ridiculous with her bobblehead, bad posture, too big skirt & whackadoo sheer shirt.
The top looks good, the skirt is horrid.
I just cant hate on Katie, I just feel sorry for her. Shes in a cult with no way out for her and Suri. I bet Tom has control of everything and she feels trapped. I wish only good things for her and her daughter and I hope that one day they can escape.
I predict she is preggo with a xenu eggo – she looks SUPER healthy. Hasn’t looked this good in a long time. That skirt is hiding something . . . .
Not good.
That dress is horrible and she has the feet of a much older woman.
look at her face..shes in freaking lala land. how does nobody else see this? the girl is drugged on the daily, im telling you
She would have looked better wearing ANYTHING from an episode of “Project Runway”. And those clothes are made in ONE DAY.
I can’t believe her bra is showing too. Just awful.
There are just no words for how ugly this dress really is, it give her the Saggy boob look, makes her already thick legs look thicker and short and make her look 3 time bigger then what she really is.
Well, at least the color looks great on her.
Yuck! That boob situation is not flattering at all. It is like what us bigger busted girls try to avoid at all costs. Droopy looking bust. The cut is just bad. It looks like she might have thrown it together her first time at a sewing machine.
Awful design. The top makes her breasts look saggy and the skirt makes her look even more bottom heavy and dumpy. These people should not be designing at all.
She has the misfortune of having the sort of body where the top half absolutely does not match the bottom half. It’s all very Ms. Potato Head. Lots of women have the smaller upper body with thicker hips, thighs and buns but with her it’s as if from the waist up she is anorexic and the bottom half didn’t get the memo. Strange.
I want Michael Kors bitchy comments on this one!! It totally looks like a Project Runway reject…
It looks awful around the shoulder area – makes he rlook like she has weight on her upper arms/chest area.
MAKE IT STOP! She has NO taste, no talent, and a very rich husband. What a waste of time and attention.
Hm. I kinda like it. The color is lovely, I like the skirt length on her – and I am especially pleased to see a skirt that isn’t cut to accidently on purpose show anything that shouldn’t be seen in public.
The only thing I don’t care for is that the skirt looks like it was pulled over the top. The whole thing being the same color and fabric all the way down would have been nice too.
YUCK.
Wow she is very good at making awkward design as well as posing awkwardly in front of camera. Good on you girl! Yikes!
I really don’t think she’s a good actress but I was surprised: She actually nailed her guest spot on HIMYM.
I’m not really a fan of hers, but I was struck by how beautiful she is the other night on “How I Met Your Mother”………
Sartorially, she is challenged. She needs a stylist 24/7 bc she looks terrible when she is “casual” and obvs needs it for “formal” as well. The skirt / shirt combo is dowdy and looks cheap. It’s like something your mom would pick out for you. She seems tragic somehow……..
She looks very pretty here but the outfit is unfortunate. How can a black skirt go so wrong?
Bless her heart. She has terrible posture.
If someone would teach Katie how to stand up TALL. She could wear anything.
As much as Paris Hilton bugs me. She is a tall girl who took a few lessons how to stand and pose. Paris has just an odd body shape as Katie. But she learned out to pose. And it works.
This looks ridiculous. The proportions are way off and it makes her look dumpy. Obviously, making her a “designer” is in her CoS contract, but sucks at it. This is a joke. Next up, Suri will have an equally appalling design line. Tom Cruise needs to be stopped.
UGH.
Her designs are almost always unflattering and they are always poorly made, but this is embarassingly poor workmanship.
From #33 coco: She has the misfortune of having the sort of body where the top half absolutely does not match the bottom half. It’s all very Ms. Potato Head. * * * * * * *
Couldn’t agree more. I was wondering who she reminded me of and you nailed it! I resent TC trying so desperately to make wifey relevant. Nope. Not working.
I think I agree, it’s a mixed bag with this outfit she picked. She does look fresh faced, polished and pretty. I think the manner they made the waist on this sort of puckers. Then the bottom is too full, it does make hips (on likely any female shape) appear much wider then they are. I give her a B for effort.
From the shoulders up she looks good..but that dress is just BAD! I like the color of the top, but that’s the only nice thing I can say about her outfit.
If Miranda Kerr must have been really good in her former life to get that body, that face, that career, that man, and that darling baby, what in God’s holy hell must Katie have done in HER former life? I’m thinking she was a higher-ranking Nazi official.
She needs a good support bra. She might as well be bra-less for all the good that black thing is doing her.
The fashion is awful across the board! All of it is bad. Pre-Cruise she seemed to be an attractive, up and comer, now she seems to be an attractive, badly dressed, roboto-wife. I feel sorry for her.
Looks like Suri made her skirt.
The hair she bought looks pretty.
The dress is absolutely horrible – she should be ashamed to appear in it.
I also dont like her hair that long.
There is not one attractive thing about this dress. The sleeves and bust are badly cut, the waist adds weight where it shouldn’t and the skirt is frumpy. The only remotely nice thing about it is the purple color, but its freshness is taken away with the black of the skirt. Back to the drawing boards!
I didn’t know Tetans have to wear weird underwear like the Mormons?!!
Katie lives in a fantasy world where Tommy Girl is still relevant and beloved. Therefore Katie believes that by virtue of being his wife, she is universally admired and can set the trends.
She is the victim of scientology brainwashing. She needs an intervention and some intense deprogramming.
The only thing I like about this outfit is the shoes. The rest of it is fug and very unflattering.
It’s hideous. The sleeves, the waist of the “skirt” part … I know that I would look like a whale if I wore this. It even makes Katie look fatter – and she’s nowhere near being fat. I woudln’t wear it.
Awful, baggy and unflattering clothes. The top is a nice color but she needs a good support bra or probably a smaller size.
Her hair isn’t fake.
Good grief, you know it is possible to have long healthy hair.
Picture 4: Hide your black bra and boob stretch marks, please.
Ouch, it is very badly tailored, and the saggy boob effect is awful. Not keen on the shoes either.
On the up side, from the neck up she doesn’t look bad, for her.
She’s got the same slightly happy medicated smile as Britney Spears … god knows how much Xanax these 2 must take …!
I remember when Katie stepped out in a couple of her own designs in the past and they were not flattering. She shouldn’t head into the designing career category.
Fugitives are the perfect market for this brand. No more pesky fat suit padding. Just buy the skirt and your ass goes up 6 sizes with the pull of a zipper.
ill fitting and unflattering
@ bonitamamacita
She is not preggo there are pictures of her on Halloween and she wearing a fitted outfit an there’s no bump just bad fashion.
She wore this on purpose?
Hate it.
She really is a stunning girl with gorgeous bone structure, skin and hair and a lovely slender/toned upper body.
Its such a shame she has no idea of how to dress to accentuate her body type… instead she continues to emphasis her unfortunate shaped legs. ugh.
When I saw this pic of her in this outfit while perusing that bastion of fine journalism The Daily Mail UK (HA!) I thought O.M.G. and did a triple take…the worst thing she has ever worn…EVER..it fits really oddly, and that SKIRT!!! !!! !!!
Words fail me…
The top of the dress is OK but the skirt part is all wrong. It makes her look like her hips and ass are huge. And it makes her calves look rather chunky too. I’ve learned the hard way myself – not all bodies look good with all styles. I wouldn’t buy this outfit especially at “designer” prices.
When I read the header I thought “Oh, it can’t be that bad”. Yeah. It’s that bad.
She’s got great arms though.
Throw a cape or something over this!!! This is such mismatched crap. What a mockery to all(including student)fashion designers! She has no business being in the business.
Yikes! With all the money the wee Tommy makes you’d think she could just buy herself some fashion sense already. And yes, she looks totally stoned.
Ahhh, poor thing. She does have boob stretch marks. And why the double-sided modesty tape in the back but not up front where it’s really needed?
The blouse is OK, the skirt is fug.
In the photos here it looks like the skirt is a cutout that’s sitting in front of her, not ON her!
Yep, the top part is very odd, and the bottom part makes her hips look big. The tragic thing is she doesn’t have to look like that. I’m fairly sure she can afford to buy GORGEOUS designer clothes. Maybe Tom designed it in a desperate attempt to keep other men away from her.
Hideous!
Well at least her hair and makeup look good. The color of the top is flattering and it MIGHT look cute with jeans if she had a decent bra. The design is just bad though, and the skirt looks like she gathered a bunch of fabric with ten minutes of sewing in a jr. high home-ec class.
Audrey Hepburn she is NOT!
(ps: cruiz – LOL – great comment!)
Someone else may have said this already but don’t those ankle straps look exactly like shackles?? Shackled stoned girl looking like a big bowl of wrong sigh. But I have to say I do like the color of her blouse – it works for her.
Two thumbs way down…who let her walk out of the house like that?!?
I love that color on her and the outfit should work, but it makes her look bulky at the waist but she is FAR from that and those shoes just don’t work at all with that outfit. She is a pretty girl and I want this outfit to work, but its has a way to go…
Terrible outfit, terrible posture, terrible everything. When my partner throws his back out he stands like that – sort of like the letter Z. Oh, wait, her nails look nice. (I always thought she looks totally drugged out, but then I read somewhere that in fact she has some condition that causes her eye always to droop like that, so I withheld commentary… can anyone enlighten me?).
Terrible! This girl never could and still cant, with all the money & access she has, dress herself the life of her. She needs s stylist badly but there probably arent any scientolgist ones so she cant have one.
