In recent weeks, Katie Holmes chose to flaunt casual outfits. The Hollywood diva wore a black silk jumpsuit paired with a white lace blouse during her 33^rd birthday celebration at New York hotspot Buddakan restaurant. The laidback ensemble matched with her dewy makeup and natural lip shade.

But Katie opted for an ultra glamorous look as she joined husband, Tom Cruise, at the premiere of the new Mission Impossible film in New York last night.

The American actress sported a navy polka dot sheer Holmes & Yang dress as she posed in front of the cameras with her dapper-looking husband. The ornately designed above-the-knee number complemented Tom’s black suit. To highlight the modish frock, she accessorized with a voguish necklace, light makeup and chic hairstyle. She completed the classy style with a pair of opaque black tights and heels.

Katie flaunted the sophisticated look after she disclosed in an interview with the January issue of Elle Magazine that she received fashion advice from her stylish friend Victoria Beckham. She explained: “We go to the same events, and we’ll call each other to ask, “What color are you wearing?” I’m always interested in what she’s liking for the season.”

The 33-year-old star showed off her glowing appearance in the star-studded occasion. Perhaps she was elated with the positive reviews on her husband’s performance in the fourth Mission Impossible franchise. The movie opened on limited release in the U.S. last weekend and managed to graze in $13m, taking third place at the box office. With its extensive release set for Wednesday, it could well top the charts after this weekend.

The fashion industry is dull and boring without the impressive creativity of various individuals including famous celebrities like Katie Holmes. But the lovely wife of Tom Cruise is not an ordinary fashion enthusiast. She is known for her impeccable taste on fashion and ability to set her own trendy path.

The pretty star just celebrated her 33^rd birthday with her hunky husband Tom Cruise, cute daughter Suri and the actress’s parents. In a festive family dinner in New York, she donned a black strapless jumpsuit with a lace blouse. Katie wore the monochrome outfit on her birthday celebration at the Buddakan restaurant along the posh Chelsea area in New York.

The mother-of-one looked stunning and elegant in the fashionable ensemble, which she paired with chic accessories and up-to-date makeup. Wearing a pair of black and white two-tone patent T-bar heels, she flaunted her toned figure and glowing appearance. She completed the look by keeping her curly tresses loose down her shoulders.

Meanwhile, Suri managed to look fabulous for the memorable occasion despite having a shy day. Snuggling onto her father’s chest, she looked trendy in a pink velvet dress, faux fur coat and a pair of gold flats.

With the birthday festivities, Katie is also preparing for the wonderful Christmas for the little fashionista, Suri. Based on In Touch Weekly magazine reports, Suri wants amazing gifts for the festive season. A source informed the publication: “Her number one wish is a pony. Even though she has everything she could ever want, Suri asked for diamond earrings and beautiful dresses, like a fairy princess gown. Tom and Katie love the holidays and always go overboard to make sure Suri has a magical time.”

Katie Holmes is back in the entertainment world with much enthusiasm. Many years ago, she left the movie industry to focus on raising adorable five-year-old Suri Cruise – her daughter with husband Tom Cruise. Now that she has found the perfect time to revive her acting career, she made sure she to attract a lot of followers on her latest project, Jack and Jill, which she co-stars with Adam Sandler. At the Westwood, Los Angeles premiere of the film, she wore a stunning outfit that gave her an ultra fabulous look.

Katie managed to attract a massive crowd even without the presence of her popular husband, Tom Cruise. She has secured the limelight with her outfit and enviable figure. The pretty lady donned a risqué diaphanous magenta blouse paired with bondage-inspired heels. She teamed the sultry attire with a demure black skirt that emphasized her racy outfit. It seemed that the mother-of-one revived her winsome beauty and youthful aura that she had in teen drama Dawson’s Creek so many years ago instead of showing the usual semi-domesticated wife-of-an-A-list-actor style.

The 32-year-old actress, who is also a fashion designer, thrilled the crowd with her undeniable charisma as she roamed around to greet her fans. Perhaps, she learned the charming tactic from her handsome husband Tom, who is also busy with his acting career. Playing wife of Adam Sandler’s character in the comedy film, she cheerfully posed with the comedian and their on-screen children Rohad Chand and Elodie Tougne.

The film revolves around Adam’s comic character, Jack Murray, who receives a visit from his much-hated twin sister, Jill. In this film, the comedian plays both Jack and Jill and is in “drag” in almost all parts of the film.

Stylish pants for pretty leading ladies Katie Holmes and Jessica Alba

Earlier last night, Katie Holmes and Jessica Alba flaunted their effortless ensembles, with emphasis of natural beauty mixed with modest trimmings. Surely, the two beauties showed us how to avoid trying too hard to look sensational and eye-catching.

Katie and Jessica managed to look captivating with just pantsuits and stylish tops as they appeared at the star-studded Giorgio Armani/Vanity Fair Private Dinner in Los Angeles. Suri’s mother, Katie, looked dazzling in a black jumpsuit and cropped cardigan. She was spotted carrying a chic small purse and wearing snake-skin heeled shoes to match the modest outfit. Cascading down her shoulders, her tresses vamped the look without a great deal of effort.

The 30-year-old actress, Jessica, looked similarly remarkable in a black shirt, tucked into a pair of trousers and a white blazer. She accessorized her simple outfit with fewer adornments and added a modish purse to her classy ensemble. With her hair streamed loose down her shoulders, she is a picture of graceful beauty and composure.

The prestigious event was also attended by other famous celebrities, including the fashionable Cat Deeley and 10,000 BC star Camilla Belle. The duo both looked trendy with their sleek-styled locks. British star Sophie Lara Winkleman, who is the doting wife of Lord Frederick Windsor, opted for ultra fashionable attire—harem pants paired with a very revealing blazer. The host of the private bash is The Help star Emma Stone, who donned a flashy metallic green mini dress.

Moved by her impeccable fashion sense, we always follow Katie Holmes’s day-to-day ensembles, even when she chooses to dress down. The 32-year old actress has been very busy promoting her new film Don’t Be Afraid Of the Dark but that hasn’t stopped her from staying trendy. She was recently seen in the ‘porange’ style, a purple and orange combination style popularized by the likes of Nicole Scherzinger and Kim Kardashian. However, instead of wearing a purple top she put her own twist to the style with a light wash denim shirt.

Okay, fine, the whole ensemble isn’t completely on the mark as far as the porange style goes, but Katie seemed to be completely comfortable choosing her own mix of colors, at least for a day out in downtown Los Angeles.  She was spotted in Beverly Hills yesterday, wearing orange skinny jeans as she got her caffeine fix at Urth Café, shortly before heading to a meeting.

In recent weeks, Katie has drawn a lot of attention because of her slimmed down figure. Friends of the former Dawson’s Creek star noted curiously that she had been getting pretty skinny, and have suggested she gain some weight. “She was so gaunt,” a friend informed OK Magazine.

Revealing her rigid dieting plan, the source said: “Because of the sugar content, she tries not to eat fruit; if she does, she usually sticks to berries, because they have the lowest glycemic index. On a typical dieting day, ‘she’ll have carrot soup and a yam for lunch and broccoli for dinner, and she’ll keep a handful of raw almonds for a snack,’ says the source, who adds that the diet is extreme.” The source added: “When she wants to slim down for a role, she eats only unprocessed raw vegetables.”

Slim, stunning and gorgeous, these qualities define Katie Holmes. For a pretty summer look, Katie opted for a lighter mode as she stepped out from her apartment in New York today. The previous night she was spotted wearing a little black dress during the Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark Premiere last night. These ensembles are a stark contrast from the many times we’ve seen the actress-turned-designer dress down, a reflection of her recently developed flair for fashion.

Katie, 32, wore a pleasant sheer cream colored blouse and blush orange draped midi skirt that lightens up her appearance. That eye-catching ensemble and her captivating smile made the actress look stunning the next morning after her appearance on the red carpet for the Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark red movie premiere. Like the Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton, she opted for nude booties in her appearances lately. As of today, she was also seen carrying a large black satchel. Her makeup had a natural yet flawless look that emphasized her sunny personality and her hair was perfectly styled into loose and wavy curls to suit her sleek look.

During the premiere of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark movie, she appeared wearing a little black dress that appeared to be her usual conservative style, but was highlighted by a racier detail on the back.  She also had her nails painted a gold hue to match the “S” inscription (for her daughter, Suri) on her necklace. Her 11-year-old co-star Bailee Madison and the film’s director joined Katie on the red carpet. The actress’s husband, Tom Cruise was not present to accompany her at the event but appeared later to join her for dinner.

Katie Holmes promotes her Don't Be Afraid of the Dark film and reveals she is afraid of spiders on Jay Leno

It looks like we’re not the only ones ready or the fall fashion season! It may still be August, but most of our favorite stylish celebrities have already debuted some of their best Fall 2011 outfits, and Katie Holmes is no exception. In fact, we caught her interview with Jay Leno on Tuesday, August 2nd – and are utterly smitten with her fall color palate. We commend her for braving the Burbank heat in leather pants and a sweater, but we’re sure the studio was cool enough for her autumn ensemble. Read below for more details about Katie’s camel-and-crimson color palate, and learn how to achieve a similar silhouette on a budget!

Katie was on set to promote her latest horror flick, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, but she looked anything but frightening for her appearance. She was positively glowing in a fall-ready perforated camel colored “Saltspring” sweater by Madewell and a seriously fierce pair of red leather cropped skinny pants by Isabel Marant. She tied both warm hues together with her amazing two-toned patent leather Prada loafers, which gave us a major case of fall shoe envy. If you’re as smitten with this look as we are, you’ll be happy to know that you don’t need to bust your autumn shopping budget to recreate it!

Even if leather pants aren’t your style, it’s easy to mimic this silhouette with a pair of trendy red denim this fall! Colored denim is everywhere now, from Barney’s to Target, so find your perfect fit and wear them to death all year long. Pair your new red pieces with warm shades of camel, coffee and cappuccino for a modern twist on neutrals.

Katie kept her fall pieces summer appropriate on set by complimenting her outfit with a flirty and fun voluminous ponytail. This look couldn’t be easier to DIY – and all you’ll need is a simple teasing comb! Pull all your locks into a mid-height pony, and use the pointy end of your comb to create volume at the crown of your head. Mist with hairspray for a Katie-approved look that lasts all day!

On Thursday, June 16th, Katie Holmes was on hand at the annual Crystal and Lucy Awards in Beverly Hills, CA to accept the MaxMara “Face of the Future” statue. The annual awards gala is a benefit to support Women in Film, a nonprofit organization that encourages girls everywhere to pursue their artistic and creative dreams. Naturally, Katie wore a MaxMara frock to accept the award sponsored by the design house itself – and we loved every detail of her pretty, black and white ensemble. The usually covered-up Mrs. Tom Cruise looked hotter than ever in a strapless, above-the-knee silhouette, and we think her dress is the perfect balance between sexy style and appropriateness. If you’re loving the contrast of black and white this summer, keep reading to discover how to mix the hues in a modern way – just like Katie!

We adore black and white together – and think the color palate is a great go-to mix for fancy nights out. To avoid looking like newsprint, it’s important to keep your blocks of color big and prominent, rather than tiny or busy. We love that Katie’s frock featured a solid white bodice and solid, asymmetrical black skirt, so use her ensemble as inspiration for your next black and white look.

Black and white can create the perfect backdrop for brightly colored accessories, but Katie kept things simple and chic with a pair of suede pointy pumps in a nude hue. We think her muted beige footwear is the perfect way to warm up her cool black and white dress – and we’ll give the interesting color pairing a try for our next night out.

To complete her pitch-perfect look for the evening, Katie paired her effortless summer dress with equally easy locks. She opted for a simple, center-parted blowout and heavily lined eyes. To recreate her makeup look, line the inner rims of your peepers with black or eggplant kohl pencil – just sharpen it before each use to reduce bacteria on the surface for a Katie-inspired finishing touch.

Of course, we can’t get enough juicy Hollywood gossip, but what we’re loving even more than the salacious celebrity scoop is Katie Holmes’ premiere look. The star, who nailed her role as Jackie Kennedy in the series, arrived at “The Kennedys” World Premiere at the AMPAS Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills in a pitch-perfect Spring 2011 look from Ralph Lauren.

We love Katie’s look from head to toe, and are completely smitten with the moody blue-gray hue of her dress. Not only is that color unexpected and totally unique, but we think it’s a perfect fit for impending April showers and the Spring 2011 fashion trends. In true Katie fashion, the style icon paired her lacy blue frock with nude strappy sandals for a classy and sophisticated color combination.

Katie’s always a fashion hit in our book, but her “S” initial pendant stole our hearts and earned her even more stylish points. We love her subtle nod to daughter Suri – and initial pendants will never go out of style. Don’t have a child just yet? Try your own first initial on a necklace or bracelet for a classic, timeless jewelry look.

Since the stylish premiere was held at Lavo NYC – and not a huge theater, the night called for more casual evening wear. Katie didn’t opt for a gown or even a short party dress, but a chic and sleek white blazer and slim black cropped pants. Her entire ensemble came courtesy of Stella McCartney – whose Fall 2011 collection is already enjoying major star exposure. The upcoming line features lots of bold black and white combinations with plenty of cute polka dots, which makes it perfect for spring, as well. The stars are loving the adorable dots as the weather warms up, even if they were intended for the fall.

We love Katie’s look here because she manages to make classic black and white look interesting and new. We’re so used to seeing black blazers overtop embellished white camisoles, but Katie did the opposite. A crisp white blazer looks so unique against a backdrop of solid black, and we’re certainly stealing her idea for our next big meeting at the office. But as much as we love her clothes here, we’re digging her shoes even more! This spring, look for super feminine details like dainty dots or lace and bows – and keep them in basic neutrals like black, white and gray. You’ll nail Katie’s style well into the fall!
