Figuring out exactly which cozy duffle coat, upscale designer tote, or trendy sneaker Katie Holmes is wearing usually requires hours of internet sleuthing. But on Dec. 3, Holmes led me directly to the source of her holiday-chic party suit—where it's still very much in stock for the weeks of festive activities ahead.
Before heading to the Barrymore Theatre for her evening performance of Our Town—where she'd enter the stage door in her go-to winter coat—Katie Holmes went shopping at Ann Taylor's Flatiron flagship grand opening. The brand has a reputation for no-nonsense suiting, so she and stylist Brie Welch naturally chose a blazer and pants for the occasion. But their pairing had some festive twists. Instead of matching her mauve pink blazer to pants in an identical shade, Holmes dipped into a reigning winter color trend with a pair of burgundy velvet pants.
