AceShowbiz - Katie Holmes, known for her stylish looks as a star of "Batman Begins" and a New York street style icon, has reflected on how motherhood has influenced her fashion choices. In an interview with The Times, she revealed that welcoming daughter Suri Cruise with ex-husband Tom Cruise marked a shift in her style.
"When my child was really small, I was drawn to wearing a lot of dresses," Holmes said. "You go through different phases of motherhood, and they inform what you feel comfortable in and what you don't." Over the years, her style has evolved, influenced by the practicalities of motherhood and her life in the city.
Today, Holmes often opts for vintage clothing and comfortable pieces like ballet flats, sneakers, baggy jeans and T-shirts. "Living in New York City, I need practical and comfortable items," she explained.
While Holmes has saved some outfits for Suri, she acknowledges that her daughter has developed her own unique style. However, she admits that Suri occasionally borrows the basics from her closet.
Holmes has a collaborative vision for fashion, blending classic and vintage influences. She enjoys experimenting and drawing inspiration from those with an "innate sense of style." She strives to create outfits that appear effortless and cohesive.
Despite her evolving fashion sense, Holmes remains grounded and emphasizes self-appreciation. She believes that style is a work in progress that evolves over time. "Take time to develop different parts of yourself, and your style will come," she said in a previous interview with PEOPLE.
