I think celebrities as a whole are under far too much pressure to be “perfect” all the time even when doing everyday, mundane things. There has to be room for dressing down and not getting it “right” every single time no matter how much you’re photographed.
It seems to me that in her downtime Katie does not buy into that being “on” 24/7 anymore…………Maybe at one point she did. Now, no more.
Save the glam and smoke and mirrors for the red carpet, photshoots, etc.

With the Holmes&Yang collection: Vogue gave it a great write up in their September issue……….We’ll see.
——————-
I thought this was funny since we’re talking about Katie’s fashion choices:

In the November issue of Elle:

“He (Tom) usually likes everything, but sometimes I’ll walk out and he’ll say, ‘I think that dress might be wearing you. You don’t need that,’” she says.

think what you wear should be up to you and not judged by others. What looks good is an opinion.
———————————

Of course it’s up to the wearer and of course these are opinions!! That’s all we have is our opinions. LOL! You’re here giving an opinion too. So what’s the deal? Should we just give favorable opinions and not be honest? Of course not!

Katie chose to be in the public eye and with that comes a certain amount of judgement. It’s part of the territory. She wouldn’t be famous without it. If no one was interested, she’d just be another face in the crowd. Secondly, Katie is now a clothing designer. With that comes the expectation of a certain amount of style which Katie is not showing most times. If she wants to be taken seriously as a designer, she needs to up her game IMHO.

I think what you wear should be up to you and not judged by others. What looks good is an opinion. I do not agree with all the opinions on what looks good. Type this in your search June 14, 2009 Beyonce Shopping in London. It was InStyle’s Look of the day. My opinion, yuck.
I am not saying I love what Katie is wearing but I do not care because I am not wearing it. If she wants to wear it that is up to her. I think is great she seems to not be putting a lot of thought into what she is wearing.
I wish every women did not care about what they are wearing and what others are wearing.

Annie, I agree with you. I love Katie Holmes and the whole Cruise clan, but I can’t stand the way Katie dresses the majority of the time and the thought of her coming out with a clothing line is just plain scary to me. If she expects people to buy her clothing and she wants it to do well then she should represent her “fashion sense” better when she is in the public eye. You can still dress in comfy clothes and look good doing it. She use to do it went her and Tom were just dating. I loved how she dressed back then, but it seems after she had Suri and got married her sense of style went way down hill. Unfortunately, I have seen some pieces from her clothing line that she has worn out and they are pretty terrible. I hope that the rest of her clothing line is better. I just think that if she wants to be taken seriously in the fashion world that she needs to present herself better in public instead of looking like a cheap mismatched mess. That’s just my opinion. Love the family, though!

If someone feels good and is happy, not hurting anyone or herself….she is doing nothing wrong and people shouldn’t judge in a negative way. I think she wants to wear what is compfy. I find it kind of funny that people get so wrapped up in talking about what she should and shouldn’t do. Not trying to upset anyone, but some seem to get too involved and bothered by her daily outfits. If we had think what the world thought on a daily basis because people were following us around taking pics, it would make us crazy. You can’t live your life worrying about every piece of clothing you put on and what person in the world has the time to judge it.

Well, you know guys, I can’t agree with you, because I feel that Katie ”SHOULD” give a hoot in what she wears. By this I don’t mean that she should in anyway be like Victoria Beckam, all done up 24/7, but maybe just put more thought in what she wears sometimes, like her lunch outing with the family.
Ok, the skirt and shoes were cute, and I didn’t even mind the beanie,but the shapeless shirt, and that cardi was so wrong. That skirt was playful, why ruin it with those other unflattering layers. This is what upsets me with Katie, its like she can’t put a proper look togther.
She will wear something cute , but will ruin the whole look by some piece of clothing that spoils everything
That dress she wore in Japan, for eg, it was strapless, the colours were beautiful, the shoes were gorgeous, the hair was fabulous, and she ruined everything by wearing those stirrup tights, and this happens often. THE GIRL IS BEAUTIFUL, she just put out a clothing line, she wants and needs people to buy her designs, she needs to be taken seriously, people need to look at her and say, NICE, not shock horror, what is she wearing. Really I can’t imagine too many women looking too good with all their hair tucked under a beanie, but look how nice she looks with her hair showing under the beanie.
I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong, but if I was an actress and spent so much time in the public eye, AND have a clothing line, I would want to show people, I know my game , I know how to dress, and thats why I want to dress you.
Maybe I’m way off the mark here, maybe that’s not how it works, but that’s what I think, and I am one of her biggest fans.

katie need not glam it up for family time…..it might be nice to just at least match an outfit and not appear as if she went into her walk-in blind-folded and picked whatever was hanging and threw it on without any consideration as to whether or not it looked good. Honestly, I learned in grade school not to wear summer cotton/linen with a fall wool hat and sweater. Very weird choice of clothing she has on in these pics. Jen Garner looks very appropriate and not at all glam Mary when she is out with her kids….she wears sensible jeans, a tee, running shoes, a pullover etc. Her casual wear makes sense and matches……I will always assert that Katie’s choice of casual wear is odd, and many bloggers on other sites have remarked that this particular ensemble is odd.

Maybe that was a bit harsh, I saw the picture of Suri upset and just felt bad for her. She has and will have so many opportunities that most kids will never have. Maybe she is just having a tired moment like children do:)

ITA with you Mary, I think she goes out of her way to show she does not give a hoot:)
