On Wednesday, during one of the first truly warm days of the year, Katie Holmes was spotted on a coffee run in New York City, taking advantage of the rising temperatures. Though it was technically more light-jacket than no-jacket weather — the temperature tapped out at 54 degrees — Holmes ditched protocol, breaking out her best spring dress-sneaker combination to kick-start the season.
The Dawson’s Creek star chose a puff-sleeved, keyhole dress from Ulla Johnson and white Common Projects sneakers. On their own, both pieces have potential; together, they create the perfect springtime outfit. The addition of her corduroy crossbody didn’t hurt, either.
Holmes’ dress, called the Suki dress, is a product of the New York-based brand’s spring ‘21 collection. The tiered, crepe de chine frock features long, poofy sleeves; a midi hemline, and a patchwork pattern. While it’s currently available in all sizes, it will cost you a steep $795. That said, if you’re looking to splurge on something to base your seasonal wardrobe around, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better spring dress given that both puff-sleeve dresses and the cottagecore aesthetic continue to trend in fashion.
Clearly, after months of coat weather, Holmes, like many of us, is ready to embrace the warmer weather and its accompanying style alternatives. And if her past warm-weather looks are any indication, we’re in for a sartorial treat as the temperatures continue to rise.
Shop Holmes’ dress and sneakers, which are also still available, below.

Normally, Fashion Monthstreet style in Paris is an amalgamation of the previous season’s most attention-grabbing pieces, with statement coats, dresses, shoes, and bags making up most of the looks spotted outside shows. This season, though, given how few designers showed in person due to the pandemic, street style wasn’t the scene it normally is. Instead, many show-goers wore jeans, the antithesis of pre-COVID street style.
Yes, there were still designer bags and shoes, but they weren’t paired with equally glamorous silhouettes. Rather, most were accompanied by classic denim pieces. More specifically, Parisiens sported straight- and wide-leg jeans to this season’s runway shows. Sorry, millennials, but there were no skinny jeans in sight.
Serving as their replacements were baggier fits, wider silhouettes, and styles more similar to the original blue jeans, Levi’s 501s, than the ultra-fitted pairs that reigned supreme in the '00s and 2010s.
With that, for anyone still struggling to transition from skinny to straight — or furthermore, wide-leg — jeans, let the slideshow ahead be your guide. Maybe you’ll find that non-skinny jeans aren’t so bad after all.

PARIS, FRANCE – JANUARY 18: A model walks the runway during the Jacquemus Menswear Fall/Winter 2020-2021 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on January 18, 2020 in Paris, France. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images)
A lot of the “things you should try” videos that I find on TikTok don’t live up to the hype for me: Feta pasta doesn’t actually taste that good, 12-3-30 isn’t a miracle workout, and low-rise jeans won’t be making a comeback in my closet. But Gen Z’s call to drink water — at least a gallon a day — is one I embraced during the last year in quarantine. To succeed in their hydration goals, many users carry around gallon-sized water bottles like a handbag, with a strap attached to the receptacle. Their water bottles go everywhere with them. Often they feature motivational measurements and time stamps. (At 9am, the water line says, “You’ve got it;” at 9pm, it says,” Well done!”)
So, once again, I did what TikTok told me to do — and purchased a simple gallon-sized water bottle with a shoulder strap (no motivational phrases for me) to see if it would get me to drink more water. I, too, carried it around like a handbag, taking a swig every time it banged me on the hip during my morning walks or when I ventured to the kitchen from my at-home “office.” At one point, I flew home to see family and brought my water bottle bag as a carry-on; it saved me $9 at Hudson News and kept me hydrated on the plane.
With its purse-like shoulder strap and scuba material exterior, my water bottle was less aesthetically pleasing than the styles I’ve seen on the runway from before the pandemic. There was a lavender, leather water bottle bag strapped across a (very hydrated-looking) male model’s chest at the fall ‘20 Jacquemus show in January 2020; Chloé, Marine Serre, Prada, Kenzo, and Chanel all, too, included water bottle accessories in their collections that season. But since last fall — when the bags became available for sale — was primarily spent indoors, the trend never really took off. Now that the possibility of normalcy — or something similar to normalcy — is on the horizon, designers are bringing back the accessory again. Marine Serre included them once again in its fall ‘21 show, which was released last week. Givenchy’s latest collection, too, featured a water bottle in the form of a necklace, as did Chanel’s, though the latter house’s bottles were too miniature to provide any real hydration.
This time around, it’s working: I am rethinking the fashion water bottle bag. Once frivolous-seeming, the idea of investing in my hydration is growing on me. Because while carrying a gallon-sized water bottle has made me drink more water, it isn’t exactly the kind of fashion statement I want to be making, especially once I start to see people outside my bubble. Perhaps fashion’s version, despite being slightly smaller, is the replacement I need for my current eyesore of a water bottle.
The beginning of my hydration journey called for something utilitarian; I physically needed to be banged in the hip as a reminder to drink water while adjusting to WFH life. Now that I’ve gotten the hang of it, I’m prepared to ascend to something a little less gauche that still helps me fulfill my daily water goals. No, I won’t be spending $5,000 on a quilted Chanel sling for my Dasani. Something crocheted from Etsy, however, that I would buy. Once Jacquemus’ take goes on sale, there’s a good chance I’ll purchase that, too.
Yes, I should be able to drink a gallon of water a day without turning it into an excuse to shop. But, if you, like me, are willing to admit that you need assistance, the water bottle bags below — which range from starter bottles like mine to DIY and designer upgrades — are here to help. No matter what sort you choose, in my experience, being attached at the hip shoulder with your water bottle is the perfect reminder to hydrate (in style).

Sevigny’s dress, a silk-blend midi dress with tiny roses printed across it, is available now and costs $249 — but it won’t be for long. Given the excitement surrounding the collaboration between the Swedish giant and the London-based brand, we’re expecting it to sell out in no time. If you need styling tips, follow the lead of Sevigny: She paired the dress with black socks decorated with ribbon bows (also from the collection!), heeled boots, a leather jacket, and lucite sunglasses.
This is hardly the first time Sevigny’s been spotted in Rocha’s designs. The Oscar-nominated actress and fashion multihyphenate has long been a fan of the brand — so much so that, in 2019, she was walked in its fall ‘19 show. “I’m such a fan [of the brand],” Sevigny told Vogue of the experience. A year later, in March 2020, Sevigny was photographed at an event at La Mercerie in Manhattan wearing a white dress from Rocha’s spring ‘20 collection as maternity-wear.

बॉलीवुड एक्टर शाहिद कपूर (Shahid Kapoor) की पत्नी मीरा राजपूत (Mira Rajput) की सर्टोरिअल चॉइस यह बताने के लिए काफी है कि स्टाइलिश होने के लिए एक्ट्रेस होना जरूरी नहीं है। यही एक कारण भी है कि मीरा जब भी घर से बाहर निकलती हैं, उनका फैशन गेम एकदम टॉप पर होता है।
बॉलीवुड एक्ट्रेस मलाइका अरोड़ा (Malaika Arora) उन हसीनाओं में से एक हैं, जिनकी लेटेस्ट तस्वीरों का न जाने कितने लोगों को इंतजार रहता है। वह जब भी घर से बाहर निकलती हैं, कैमरों में उन्हें कैद करने की जंग शुरू हो जाती है। ऐसा ही कुछ हमें आज भी देखने को मिला, जब एक्ट्रेस को शहर में स्पॉट किया गया।
