Zac Posen was certainly honored to be named Designer of the Year at the 2026 American Image Awards. on April 21. But the real reward was accepting the trophy from Katie Holmes, who wore a custom GapStudio suit and a Spring 2026 shoe trend worthy of its own prize.
Last week, Holmes celebrated Posen's Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers collaboration (in $64.99 jeans from the new line). On Tuesday, she showed up for Posen again in an all-black tuxedo from another brand in his stable: Gap. First, stylist Brie Welch assisted Holmes in trading a white button-down for a satin, bone-in corset crafted just for her. Its plunge neckline was barely visible beneath a shoulder-padded, double-weave blazer, featuring oversize satin lapels. (GapStudio's duchess satin shined just as much as Posen's matching set, perhaps on purpose.)
