Actress Kate Noelle "Katie" Holmes was born two months premature on December 18, 1978 in Toledo, Ohio. Being the youngest in a family of seven, Katie was always the baby. At fourteen she began classes at a modeling school in Toledo, Canada and after two years of classes, she competed in the International Modeling and Talent Association in New York and won many awards. It was there that she was spotted by a talent manager.
Holmes was still in high school when she auditioned for Dawson's Creek. In 1998, she began her role as Joey Potter, which she played through 2003 when the show was cancelled. Since then, she has costarred in Pieces of April (2003) and Batman Begins (2005). On July 7th 2006, she married Tom Cruise and in April, 2006 she gave birth to her first child, Suri.

Apparently leaping off couches on television is just the tip of the iceberg for daredevil Tom Cruise. Tom performed all his own stunts in M:I:3 and has historically been known as quite the risk-taker. With a brand new baby and a wedding on the way, Tom also has plans to fly his 1944 P51 Mustang airplane. Despite the fact Tom renamed the plane "Kiss Me Kate" in honor of his finance, Katie isn't having any of it. She is pleading with her Top Gun boyfriend to leave his high-flying ways on the big screen, in the 80's… probably where it belongs.
Hasn’t everyone received the memo... it is not Katie anymore it is Kathryn. Tom feels that Katie should not be referred to by such a childish name. Now, that she has given birth she is an adult. This is just one of his rather annoying antics, again. They were spotted together just a couple weeks after she gave birth. By the way, did anyone hear if she made noise while she had the baby? What happens anyways if she does make noise? Shed some light on a non-scientologist person, please.
In good company with other high profile couples such as Angelina Jolie and Brad, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are one of many Hollywood couples who have skipped a walk down the aisle and headed straight for the maternity ward. Holmes and Cruise who met in April of 2005 didn’t say any vows before welcoming their baby girl Suri into the world, just one year later on April 18th. Is marriage no longer necessary before getting knocked up? Apparently Hollywood doesn’t think so!
Katie Holmes seen on Aug 17 2008 in New York, NY. Looking more casually put-together than she has in awhile, Katie Holmes took a break from her busy Broadway rehearsal schedule and took her adorable daughter Suri to the park on Sunday afternoon, August 17. Katie looked like a picture-perfect mom in her crisp white button down (check out Gold Hawk’s ultra feminine version, the Eyelet Front Blouse in Pure White), dark straight leg jeans (see Denim of Virtue’s Justice Flap Pocket Straight Leg in Midnight for a similar staple), sunny yellow t-strap sandals (though not the same fun hue, I love Matiko’s Katia Sandal in White), square brown shades with gold accents (like JeeVice’s Sassy in Brown Fade), and a trendy oversized python tote doubling as a diaper bag (snake lovers, see Carla Mancini’s Tote with Front Tassel in Python/Black). Even the cropped coif looks refreshingly chic, no? Over the past few weeks, TomKat have been settling into the Big Apple, snapped constantly jetting around the city in between Katie’s stressful schedule prepping for her Broadway debut. In regards to the stage, rumors have been circulating that ticket sales are much, much lower than expected for Katie’s Oct 16 – Jan 11 stint in All My Sons, but the production’s publicist insists it’s simply not true. Critic’s theories are that Katie’s former fans are yearning to see beloved Joey Potter again, but I have a feeling the Eli Stone episode guest starring Katie as a singing dancing attorney will boost sales after it airs on October 21. If you live in the city, are you interested in seeing Katie light up the stage?
Katie Holmes seen on Aug 08 2008 in New York, NY. Fortunately for all of us, Katie Holmes finally gave herself a break from the pegged leg spree and donned a motherly black and white dress on her way to rehearsal at the theater in NYC on August 8. I still can’t make sense of Katie’s recent sightings in the same button fly, pegged leg jeans about 9 days in a row. Some plausible theories about her questionable fashion choice include Katie could be hiding a baby bump, the victim of a savvy denim thief who left her permanently borrowing from Tom’s closet or she is living in a mirror-less penthouse that prevents her from seeing how terrible she looks wearing the same misguided jeans over and over. But now it’s official – Katie really IS wearing Tom’s jeans. This week Prps Jeans confirmed Katie has been wearing a pair of their men’s jeans that will be available in a women’s version this fall called the Boyfriend. Finally, the mystery is solved, but it still makes no sense! Katie’s look (slightly) improved with her black and white maxi (try Karina Grimaldi’s Floresta Silk Dress in Theodora Black Ivory), paired with a drab white cardigan (try the form fitting ¾ Sleeve Cardigan in Vanilla Cream by Syndey LA for a cleaner look), sparkly gold flats (check out Matiko’s Leslie Snake Flat in Bone) and essential dark sunnies (like JeeVice’s Red Hot in Brown Fade). Since relocating to NYC, Mrs. Cruise has been spotted all over town with her adorable daughter Suri (Tom nowhere in sight? Hmm...). The luckiest little girl in the world has been trekking all over the city with mom, with trips to the bowling alley, all the trendiest parks, and even catching The Little Mermaid on Broadway. What more could a girl ask for?
Katie Holmes seen on Aug 05 2008 in New York, NY. Okay, the first time I saw Katie Holmes leaving the set of Eli Stone in those hideous rolled cuff jeans, I assumed they had to be part of her costume. I mean, what else could possess a person to wear jeans 3 sizes too big with open-toed heels and nylons simultaneously? Apparently, not so much. After at least 5 public appearances wearing those hideous flashback jeans, one can only assume Katie is trying to bring the fad back, presumably from the dead. It’s entirely possible she unearthed these button-fly monstrosities from Tom’s Risky Business wardrobe. How do you feel about Katie’s favorite stone washed pegged jeans – love it or leave it? Practice will not make those jeans perfect, but above the waist Katie pulled off the conservative chic look as she cruised NYC solo to and from rehearsals for “All My Sons” on August 5. Honestly, she looked relatively put together with a black and white polka dot scarf, simple white tank tucked in under a white puff sleeve cardigan (similar to Elizabeth Gillett’s cropped Jackie Button Shrug in Ivory). Katie refined her look with her envious black python Chloe Paraty Bag (try Rough Roses’ Jewel Hobo in Black for a much more affordable version), basic square brown sunnies (check out JeeVice’s Exquisite in Oyster Bronze), simple metallic flats (try Matiko’s Leslie Snake Flat in Bone as a more lively alternative) and a thick brown leather belt to hold up those awful trousers. TomKat and baby Suri have officially relocated to the Big Apple in preparation for Katie’s Broadway debut on September 18, but that didn’t stop mom from jetting home to LA on Monday to have her boyish ‘do sheared even shorter before returning to the city with the fam. I guess she thought new city, new look, right? What do you think of the freshly cropped coif – does it work for her?
Katie Holmes seen on Jul 20 2008 in Laguna Seca, CA. Katie Homely, oops, I mean Holmes, was spotted at the Red Bull US Moto Grand Prix in Laguna Seca last Sunday, July 20, getting a piece of the action with robo-hubby Tom Cruise. TomKat did their best to look the part, both clad in leather and denim while excitedly watching the races. Katie’s outfit can only be described as biker chick meets the girl next door (clash!) wearing a cropped leather jacket (Black Halo’s Shirred Cropped Leather Jacket in Brown is one of my faves), a plain white, tucked in tee, casual boyfriend jeans (similar to True Religion’s Bobby in Chelsea) held up with a brown leather belt (like Pellemelle’s Double Ring Belt in Chocolate). Katie added her feminine touch with a simple gold locket (see Kuo Ting’s Floral Oval Locket Necklace in Gold), a beaded leather bracelet and big brown sunnies (check out JeeVice’s Sassy in Brown Fade), which are almost enough to distract you from that awful boyish haircut. Seriously, did Tom break out a bowl and scissors for that one? If you notice, Katie has been looking a bit happier lately in photos of TomKat – she’s even cracking a smile in the photo on the left while Tom whispers in her ear. Perhaps it’s because the couple recently moved into a new $35 million mansion in Beverly Hills, the first abode that is officially theirs and theirs only (well, and Suri’s, of course). In the two years they have been married, TomKat have been living with Tom’s sister and her two sons, his mother, and Tom’s two kids from his marriage to Nicole Kidman – quite a full house! When the couple moved, Katie reportedly said enough’s enough and kicked out all family members besides the kiddies. Maybe it’s because Katie is gearing up to have another bundle of joy with Tom? A friend said, "Katie said she has got the itch. Now that Suri is a toddler rather than a baby, she said she misses having an infant in the house. And, of course, Katie thinks Suri would make a great big sister!" Hmm, wonder if this fits into the Broadway schedule?
Katie Holmes seen on Jul 16 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Katie Holmes arrived on the set in Los Angeles on July 16 dressed like a conservative working type in the morning (right) and was escorted out with Tom in the evening (left) looking like… a tranny bag lady? Hmm, I’m not sure what to think about this mix of stage make-up and interesting fashion choices. If you like the cozy Flashdance look, pair Autumn Cashmere’s Racer Back Tank in Black and Woo’s Rosie Long Grandpa Cardigan in Heather Grey with a pair of loose trouser jeans like Deener’s Slacker Jean in Radon for a much cleaner look. And please, no nylons with open toed heels! Kat has been hard at work this week filming her guest appearance on Eli Stone, which hopefully explains the mystery get-up. The new cropped coif is also for the show, taking off a few more inches and adding in a few daring curls for the part – although I must say, with the sunglasses she seems to pull it off, in a classy suburban mom kind of way. The network has been quiet about Katie’s appearance on Eli Stone, but an ABC exec leaked, “It’s a great role for her. There is some singing and dancing she does. And she’s exquisite.” How refreshing! It seems Kat prefers theatrical gear lately, by the looks of her make-up and hair, perhaps she’s getting into character for her upcoming Broadway debut in All My Sons coming in September. TomKat will be relocating to NYC once rehearsals begin, living it up in a rented penthouse apartment and showing Suri all the sights of the Big Apple. From the start Katie’s role has sparked all kinds of drama, from uprooting other Broadway productions to vastly disappointing ticket sales. “Katie wouldn’t sign a long-term agreement with her show, which is why it’s the limited run that it is. They had to figure out how to make more money with the time they had with her,” a theater source said, explaining why A Chorus Line - currently starring Mario Lopez – was bumped to a different theater so they would have enough seats to accommodate Katie’s shorter stage run. AC Slater must be feeling burned! Will any of you be shelling out the cash to see Katie take the stage?
Katie Holmes seen on May 05 2008 in New York, NY. Katie Holmes was spotted out shopping with Suri on Madison Avenue in NYC on May 5, still rocking a twin hairstyle to the two year old tot. Speaking of hair, is it just me or does Suri's hair look like five shades lighter than usual? It might have just lightened up due to the sun, but what if Katie and Tommy Boy decided to dye Suri's hair!? Crazy town. For Katie's NY look, start with a funky trenchcoat (like Ecoganik's lightweight French Terry Jacket in Coffee) over a turtleneck (I love the shade of Kushcush's Skinny Turtleneck in Lavendar), and pair with wide leg dark wash denim (like James Jeans' Wesley 5 Pocket Wide Leg Jean in Troy). Accessory wise, Katie paired a pair of round shades (check out Nour's Kiara Sunglasses in Manner Mania) with a big textured back and patent heels. While Tom and Katie have been spotted all over NY lately, it seems that their body language has started to garner a lot of extra attention. Tom is pretty much always holding on to Katie in some way, and body language expert Judi James has analyzed one photo in particular of Tom holding Katie's hand (as well as her upper arm) for The Sun. Judi says, "While holding Katie’s hand is chivalrous and gentlemanly, grabbing her forearm has a new meaning and shows command and control. Tom looks more like Katie’s bodyguard. She looks like the star and it’s as if he’s doing the thinking for her. It’s a very controlling hold, almost a form of parental affection. There’s no sign of sexual affection here.” No sign of sexual affection between TomKat? That's a new one!
Katie Holmes seen on Mar 17 2008 in West Hollywood, CA. Katie Holmes was spotted hanging out with her good friend Joan (OK, not really) as she grabbed a bite at Joan's on Third in West Hollywood on March 17, and had to be escorted out of the restaurant by numerous bodyguards to protect her from persistent photographers and fans. Katie started her look out with a sunshine yellow coat (check out Kushcush's Three Button Coat in Yellow) over a black and white geometric (like Guy Baxter's Morgan Dress in Black and White). Next up was a pair of super skinny dark wash jeans (like Joe's Jeans' Chelsea Jean in Reed) and a pair of strappy black heels. My question is, where's Suri? She hasn't been seen in for-ev-er! Rumors spread recently that Katie was teaming up with Armani to design a chic line of children's clothing inspired by Suri, but it seems that there was no truth to these rumblings. Katie's rep went on record and said, "Katie Holmes is not designing a children's line for Giorgio Armani," although the two are close; Armani designed Holmes' wedding dress and regularly is the designer behind her red carpet looks. Sorry Suri, you are one of the most famous children ever, but there won't be a line inspired by you!
Katie Holmes seen on Jan 30 2008 in West Hollywood, CA. Katie Holmes was spotted grabbing a quick bite to eat at Joan's on Third in West Hollywood on January 30, sporting an ensemble that actually is age appropriate! Wow! To steal Katie's look, start with a cropped jacket (like Gold Hawk's Embellished Hoss Jacket in Onyx Black) and a long sleeve black tee (check out Ecoganik's Babyneck Long Sleeve Tee in Black). Next up: denim. Serfontaine's Paris Jean in Rinse are super similar to Ms. Holmes'. Finish off the look with an exotic scarf and black ballet flats (similar to Matiko Footwear's Verne Flat in Black) and you're all set. In recent Katie news, leave it up to the National Enquirer to start a (more than likely) false rumor: allegedly, Katie became pregnant with ex-boyfriend Chris Klein's baby before she gave birth to Suri. A source tells the mag, "Chris blurted out: 'Dude, you know I got Katie preggers.' There was a long silence. I realized Chris had said more than he had intended. My next thought was: 'What happened to the baby?' (But) from the look in Chris' eyes, I realized this was highly personal. I didn't want to probe any further." Katie's rep has obviously denied these claims, saying they are "false", but what do you think?
Katie Holmes seen on Dec 21 2007 in West Hollywood, CA. Spotted: Katie Holmes shopping at Maxfield in West Hollywood, California on Friday, December 21. Holmes has recently been gaining more and more attention for her new interest in high fashion, and has definitely not disappointed this time. It appears that since becoming friends with fashion icon Victoria Beckham, the fashion bug is clearly contagious. Even in the most simplistic pieces, Holmes still manages to look like a million bucks and we're definitely not the only ones who think so. OK! Magazine just recently named Katie Holmes as their most stylish star of 2007, topping new BFF Posh Spice. Katie began her outfit with a pair of fierce red pumps, and wore a short black skirt with oversized pockets (similar to LaROK's Rita Skirt in Black), which provided as a strong vocal piece of her outfit. Keeping it simple on top, Holmes opted for a skinny turtleneck in white (check out Kushcush's Skinny Turtleneck in White) and colored it up with a simple string of colorful pearls (check out Brian Nagourney's Jewelry's Pearl Lariat with Red Coral). Katie also lugged around a cognac colored handbag big enough to fit Suri in (check out Posse New York's Carola Bag in Cognac ) and completed her Jackie O look with a pair of oversized black sunglasses (similar to Nour's Baba Sunglasses in Oro Bianco ). Holmes has been living quite extravagantly since marrying husband Tom Cruise. Just that week it was reported that Katie spent $100,000 on a shopping spree, not including the big bags Katie's security detail were seen carrying out of high priced boutique Maxfield. We can only assume a lifestyle like this can be satisfied on Tom's salary, not hers. A pair of boots alone at hip boutique Maxfield can cost over $10,000, who knows what Katie managed to put on Tom's tab while spending substantial time inside.
Katie Holmes seen on Dec 10 2007 in Los Angeles, CA. Katie Holmes stepped out in LA on December 10 for a solo shopping expedition, with Tom out of town and Suri staying at the power-couple's mega mansion. Getting in the holiday spirit by wearing a festive pair of red jeans (to get in on the red jean craze, check out Pierce Jeans' Montana Pierson Slim Jean in Red Cedar or Joe's Jeans' Patch Pocket Wide Leg Jean in Scarlet), Katie also wore a black coat (like IISLI's Venice Coat in Black) and accessorized with a big brown bag, similar to Aaneta's Star Medium Bag in Cafe. While the Cruise's took in the Spice Girls' reunion concert in Vegas on Sunday, it seems that Katie also knows what to do to ensure that Tom has fun with their romantic encounters. She says to InStyle Magazine, "Tom likes me in a suit and a mini every now and then. I like it when he likes it. It makes me blush. He'll say, 'You look good. I hope security's going with you.' Now that gives me attitude." Tom likes Katie in a suit? No comment. Katie goes on to say, regarding her pregnancy with Suri, "[He was] by my side the whole time. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive human being. He had the room ready, candles everywhere, pictures in frames. It was very homey and beautiful." How perfectly orchestrated that sounds!
Katie Holmes seen on Aug 06 2007 in Los Angeles, Ca. Katie Holmes' return to Los Angeles warranted much fanfare; paparazzi were around every corner of LAX on August 6 as Katie slowly made her way to her car, seeming relaxed and protectively holding her jacket closed with her left hand the entire time. Wearing ultra wide-leg denim (check out Pierce Jeans' Bleu Theresa Wide Leg Jean in Midnight Blue or Parameter's Pleated Denim Pant in Midnight for a similar look) with a black button-up and blazer and brown shades (like Nour's Kiara Sunglasses in Manner Mania), Katie also carried along a grey bag- set to be the hottest color for fall. Katie was in Saint Tropez recently with hubby Tom Cruise, and experience what many of us have gone through in our lifetime: being denied entry to a club! I find it hilarious that when one of Hollywood's most famous couples is turned away from a club in front of tons of onlookers it's newsworthy- but still, how can I not write about it? The couple tried to go into Caves Du Roi club in the exclusive Byblos Hotel, but the club was at capacity, and even when Tom's security team alerted the bouncers to his identity, they still refused him and Katie entry. A source at the club said that "the VIP area was full and the management weren't willing to move the guests already there to make room for Tom. It wouldn't have been fair." Wow, how different Saint Tropez is from Los Angeles! In LA, it doesn't matter who you are… if Tom Cruise is outside waiting, you will be shuffled around so that he can get in. Without question!
Katie Holmes seen on Jun 12 2007 in Los Angeles, Ca. Boy oh boy, does Katie Holmes sure know how to turn some heads! After debuting a very sleek and stylish new haircut while dining at restaurant Cut (how appropriate) with hubby Tom Cruise, Katie yet again displayed her new 'do while strolling down the street on June 12. She was looking chic in her black J Brand's, along with a sleeveless silk blouse over a white ¾ sleeve top (Woo's Ruthie Top is a similar piece, with some added lace detail). This new style is definitely a major change from her former shoulder-length cut, which she had been rockin' since "Dawson's Creek" back in the day. Katie's new hair makes her appear quite savvy and empowered, and it looks as though she is definitely aware of this. There is one thing though that I have to say (and I'm sure you were also thinking)... this chic new hairstyle is very Victoria Beckham-esque! Furthermore, I highly doubt that this is a coincidence. It is no secret that the girls became fast friends recently, as they have been seen shopping and even attended Paris Fashion Week together last year. Posh recently spoke out on her affinity for Katie, saying that she "really likes Katie, she's sweet and we speak on the phone about fashion and the kids." How adorable. Now that Katie transformed her formerly limp locks to the brunette version of Posh's edgy blonde bob, these two are set to conquer the world! I'm kidding, but still, I think this look definitely suits Katie. Overall though, I'd say this makeover was only marginally needed, yet definitely successfully executed!
Katie Holmes seen on Aug 17 2006 in Beverly Hills, Ca. It's like Katie Holmes is a walking zombie! Either she's been totally brainwashed by the Scientologists, or she's gone through a major Invasion of the Body Snatchers! While it's not a secret that Katie signed a contract to have Tom Cruise's baby and be "with him" for around 3 years, it just seems that all the life has been sucked out of poor Ms. Holmes! Oh well, at least she's finally looking cute again! Struttin' her post "baby-weight" stuff in a skinny pair of Stitch's Seminole Slim Fit Jeans in Black with a loose floral top, cinched with a belt similar to our Linea Pelle Wide Braid Belt, Katie is showin' Tom who's a boss! Finish off your celeb look with our Oliver People's Victory Sunglasses in Gold with Photochromic Lenses and you'll be a prime target for Scientologists to brainwash, too!
Katie Holmes seen on May 04 2006 in New York, NY. Katie Holmes made her first appearance since giving birth to her daughter, Suri Cruise at the premiere of Mission Impossible III. She still had a bit of her baby weight but she looked great nevertheless.
Katie Holmes seen on Apr 19 2006 in Los Angeles, CA. Either she's getting in character for the upcoming role of Medusa, or Katie Holmes has a serious case of the flyaways. At a local park frolicking with Tom, Katie enjoys a day out in the sun. While she still has some baby weight goin' on, Katie has found a cute daytime look. Start with a pair of flattering James Jeans, like our James 5 Pocket in Tulsa pair, that thanks to the angled pockets, give the rear a raise. A cute tunic style top, like our Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Lace Dolman Sleeve Top, similar to Katie's, is stylish yet can hide any "problem areas" for new moms. Speaking of new moms, everyone knows Katie is one, but where is the baby? Suri is either completely made up, or the most hidden child ever born!
