"I woke up the next morning and I was like, 'Oh my god,' I guess I didn't know that it was such a thing," Katie Holmes told Drew Barrymore in 2023, after her dress-over-pants look went viral. Two years later on November 18, she channeled the revival she divisively pioneered, but this time it was no accident.
Holmes spent Tuesday evening with hundreds of fellow theatre-goers at the opening performance of This World of Tomorrow, starring Tom Hanks at New York City's The Shed. Before the play, she posed for photographers with dress-over-pants set on full display. Stylist Brie Welch dressed Holmes in The Albers Dress, courtesy of New York City-based label, Attersee. Every element—from the racer neckline to the structured silk-wool blend—made it the perfect fall pick. In lieu of buttons, corset-inspired hook-and-eye clasps cascaded down the sleeveless dress. Over-emphasized satin pleats followed the same vertical path.
