It’s always a good time to add a staple piece to your wardrobe — just ask Katie Holmes. The actress — who has become known for her effortless, sophisticated, put-together street style — has teamed up with French brand A.P.C. for a collection full of capsule closet essentials that blend timeless Paris and New York styles.
“I have loved [A.P.C.] since I discovered it. The simplicity of design is born out of sophisticated consistency to details and form,” Holmes, who has shopped the brand since the ’90s, said in the press release.
To bring the line to life, Holmes looked to A.P.C.’s archives, picking out pieces that best reflect her sense of style. “I love vintage and truly enjoyed stepping into the memories of A.P.C. garments of the past. Bringing the inspiration from collections from the early 2000s and working to make them modern and relevant to the 2024 customer was such a joyful and satisfying experience.”
This resulted in an edit made up of classic cotton tees, silk camis, ribbed V-neck sweaters, denim mini skirts, patent leather Mary Janes, and a quilted coat. In addition to the apparel, the line includes a limited-edition pastel quilt (only 100 are available).
“I did approach this collection with the idea of it being a complete wardrobe,” Holmes added. “One can mix and match the pieces to create many different looks that suit one’s individual style. There are day looks and night looks. Professional and playful.”
Katie Holmes x A.P.C. is available to shop online now. Prices range from $165 to $1,330.

To channel vacation vibes, the line borrows design cues from Y2K style (think: hibiscus flower print, halter-neck styles, draped silhouettes, and vibrant primary colors). Some of this season’s biggest trends can also be found across the collab, which includes matching sets, maxi dresses, baggy jeans, mesh flats, bright white waistcoats, and lots of crochet (from dresses to bags and bucket hats).

As we look ahead to sunnier spring days, a fitting new color trend is on the horizon. Butter yellow has been populating the runways, the high street and fashion TikTok. True to its appetizing namesake, this hue falls in the middle of the spectrum between beige and bright yellow, giving it a fresh, wearable take on the controversial primary color.
Compared to its brighter counterparts (Ã la dopamine dressing) a muted butter yellow is much easier to pair with other colors in your wardrobe. Especially adaptable for those who are color averse, butter yellow is the perfect spring neutral — and not just reserved for special occasions or high summer, as primary yellow often is. Just as a citrusy handbag can create a low-key statement, a creamy yellow shirt will go a long way as a basic staple. This trend is all about minimalist impact.
While yellow can be as polarizing as the skinny jeans debate — from the fear of it clashing with yellow undertones and lighter hair colors to the understanding that it’s the color for Black women — butter yellow is quietly putting this all to bed. Spring couldn’t be a better time for us all to get into our pastel eras. So, while we manifest May flowers from all these April showers, explore runway styling tips and editor picks that are sure to satisfy your butter yellow cravings ASAP.
A Butter Yellow Suit
Dressing in any color from head to toe is a bold move, but a butter yellow suit makes for a subtle flex. While the light tone won’t feel like an overcommitment (i.e., you likely won’t be mistaken for a banana) you will make a statement nonetheless. Plus it’s a great color for the warmer months. Take notes from 3.1 Phillip Lim and pair with light-colored shoes and accessories.
A Butter Yellow Dress
Picture a zen version of Beyonce’s Lemonade and you’ve got a flowy, butter yellow dress. Expect to see lots of buttery smocks this spring and summer at weddings, holidays and on the street for everyday wear. Compared to bright yellows, which may not feel appropriate for every occasion, butter yellow is as versatile as it gets. Any shoe goes.
A Butter Yellow Top
Get on *top* of the trend with a butter yellow vest, sweater, cardigan or shirt. Opt for a silhouette that you’re already familiar with and know will suit your wardrobe, and then work from there. Soon you’ll be able to layer ’em for a buttery, sophisticated vibe, as demonstrated on Sandy Liang’s spring runway.
Butter Yellow Pants
James Cochrane
If head-to-toe color is outside your comfort zone, you can still channel the breezy summer vibes of butter yellow with a pair of lightweight pants. Alternatively, opt for jeans in the pastel hue to take denim into your warm-weather wardrobe.
A Butter Yellow Jacket
If you’re in the market for a spring coat or jacket, there’s a butter yellow style out there for you. The hue’s shape-shifting neutrality goes a long way when it comes to outerwear and will give any outfit a head-turning boost. Follow Paloma Wool’s lead with a Western-style denim jacket (and maybe even a matching skirt).
A Butter Yellow Skirt
Butter yellow is to skirts what gold is to jewellery: It just makes sense. From Molly Goddard’s voluminous butter yellow maxi skirts, to Anna Sui’s quilted minis on the spring runways, the consensus is that this feminine shade is a skirting win. Styling tip: Don’t be afraid to mix a butter yellow skirt with other yellow tones. More is more!
Butter Yellow Accessories
Want to dip your toe in the butter before going all in? Creamy yellow handbags, shoes, and jewellery will add a touch of color to any outfit without drawing eyes to them immediately. Once you start letting the tone into your wardrobe, don’t be surprised when you end up dripping in butter yellow, click Christopher Esber’s chic head-to-toe look.
