Celebrity Obsession: Katie Holmes

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


She's like a real life character in the world's craziest soap opera. Her marriage is a total sham and she's having a mental breakdown right in front of our eyes -- but we'll be damned if she doesn't look good through it all.

Going from fashion victim to having one of the most enviable wardrobes on the planet, we've all been watching as Katie Holmes was brainwashed by Scientology matured and grew up in the public eye.


She was a teen sensation on Dawson's Creek who married Tom Cruise, once arguably the sexiest man on Earth, and then it was all downhill from there. Her life has played out like a drama that even we can't keep up with -- rumor has it that Tom's gay, the Scientology church will kill anyone who outs him, Katie's the best paid beard ever and that's how she funds her million dollar outfits, Chris Klein is Suri's dad, she might not have ever been pregnant, she faked running the New York City Marathon, and she's feuding friends with Posh Spice. The list goes on and on and on. Some of it's so unbelievable, that we actually buy it. Who could make this stuff up?!?

All the rumors have created an intrigue, and more importantly a buzz around her that little Joey Potter couldn't have ever mustered on her own. And while Katie's personal life has seemingly gone from bad to worse, her fashion life couldn't be better.

She's now topping all the best dressed lists. Mrs. Tom Cruise, whose style has reportedly been influenced by known fashionista, Victoria Beckham, has been rocking a notably more polished look ever since her marriage to the couch jumper. She wears sleek, high waisted pants to accentuate her tiny waist and make her legs look like they go on forever. She always has her tootsies covered in the latest and greatest footwear from top designers like Christian Louboutin, Prada and Manolo Blahnik. Her makeup for the red carpet is never less than perfection. And when she and Victoria Beckham did like 7th grade BFF's and got matching hair cuts, even Paris Hilton straight out copied them and went for short hair. Now that's a serious trend setter!

Whether she reinvented herself, or Scientology did it for her, we are obsessed with Katie Holmes and her transformation. We can't wait to keep watching this glamorous soap opera that one formerly-normal twenty-something from Toldeo, Ohio calls life!
