Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Attend “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy’ Costume Institute Gala”

On May 5th, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes attended the “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy’ Costume Institute Gala” at The Metropolitan Museum in New York City.

Some are saying that Katie Holmes’ outfit was a disaster, while others are saying she wowed the crowd. There also seems to be mixed reports about her dress being red or tangerine orange. It looks red to me, but the shiny fabric makes it hard to tell in the pictures.

What was the real big talk of the night as far as Katie’s outfit? Well, her shoes of course! Did she wear the traditional black shoes? Not a chance! She wore a pair of blue Christian Louboutin shoes. You can see an up close picture of them here.

I am loving the blue shoes she wore. Why not just go for it when it comes to fashion? Katie definitely did that!

More pictures of Tom, Katie and those blue shoes below the cut.

    [...] Tom was seen with Isabella and Connor recently at another L.A. Galaxy game.

We got to see Katie and Suri out shopping, there are pictures of them about to take Suri on a helicopter ride, and they attended the Superheroes Costume Gala. [...]

    Tom sure likes to use the repeated poses with all of his long string of wives.

    Julia Roberts and Goerge Clooney hosted the evening. I saw pictures of them hugging with Tom and Katie. I find nothing wrong with her makeup. Infact I love it! Wasn’t sure about the blue shoes but they do have a red strip and I believe the dress have some blue camouflage.

    I’m confident that those blue shoes had a lot to do with the attention she got – and the red face makeup, which may have looked better in person than it did in pictures. She was the only one that came in costume, except for Posh who looked really awful. I read both pros and cons so not buying that all journalists were captivated. I do agree about Eva Longoria, but she always looks great – nothing new. Don’t remember seeing any pics of Julia Roberts.

    Tyler am not sure whether that is why Katie drew attention I think she did simply because she and Tom are a huge media draw now, call them a flavour of the month (make that the last three years) and she was actually very smart, the dress is beautiful. People who were there, journalists said she was actually very captivating. Beckham’s outfit was a miss but no where near how much the media exaggerated. I loved what Julia Roberts and Eva Longoria wore.

    that’s prob why katie drew so much attention with the wonder woman colors. she left her ego at home. i don’t know if i could have done it, but i applaud her for it.

    Jarjoge, ehat you say explains the blue shoes. I guess there are too many fat egos to really dress like real sper heroes.

    None of the men looked like superheroes, even the evening’s male hosts.

    jajorge………….The theme of the MET Gala was Superheroes and Fantasy……………..I thought Katie looked both classy and elegant in that red dress. The shoes with half the heel in red, for me were a bold choice.
    Katie was striking in that dress.

    wonderwoman?

    and tom doesn’t look like a superhero there!

  18. By jajorge

    how come none of the other celebrities seemed to be playing with the theme though? i may be wrong, but everyone else looked just elegant and classy.

  19. By jajorge

    ahhhhh, so the theme was superheroes! well, in that case, i think the shoes go PERFECTLY with the dress…. the red and blue colour scheme, like superman and spiderman and supergirl (any others?)…..even the hair works in this light with the dress, though i can’t think of a superhero off the top of my head who had that hair! superhuman, superorange, supergelled.

    Forgot to mention that her hair looks fantastic!
