During the Spring 2026 fashion week circuit, ‘90s-inspired cord necklaces emerged on the glitzy runways of Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, and Gabriela Hearst. Months later, the vintage jewelry trend is now trickling off the catwalk and into the celebrity crowd. Its first major endorsement? None other than '90s and early-2000s style icon Katie Holmes.
On Thursday, May 7, Katie Holmes was spotted in New York City with the Dawson's Creek-era jewelry trend front and center. Her version—featuring a simple leather cord and a shimmering gold pendant—worked with her croc-embossed tote to enhance the rest of her outfit. Her off-duty uniform included a black midriff-baring cardigan, purple ankle-length spring jeans, and a pair of gum-sole sneakers.
