Katie Holmes put a dark spin on coquette styling while attending Chanel‘s annual artists dinner during the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Monday.
The actress opted for a cropped beaded lace jacket featuring crystalized buttons, as well as a matching midi skirt by the French label. She completed her look with open-toe ankle-strap heels and an envelope clutch.
Holmes wore her highlighted brunette tresses in waves, while her makeup consisted of metallic eye shadow and a mauve lip.
On Thursday, Holmes launched her collaborative collection with A.P.C., which drew inspiration from the Parisian brand’s archives.
“A.P.C. is a beautiful French brand and one that I have loved since I discovered it,” Holmes said. “The simplicity of design is born out of sophisticated consistency to details and form. A.P.C. is not only elegant in life, but I have also used it many times for costumes in film as its classic design is timeless.”
Holmes has worn A.P.C., an abbreviation for Atelier de Production et de Création, pieces and designs since the 1990s.
“I love vintage and truly enjoyed stepping into the memories of A.P.C. garments of the past,” Holmes added. “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.”
Coquette styling is proving popular this year, with lace, bows, pearls and pale hues taking the fashion world by storm. During the spring 2024 season, designers including Simone Rocha, Richard Quinn and Valentino embraced feminine flairs, sending romantic silhouettes down the runway.
