Katie Holmes Puts an Unexpected Spin on the Slip Dress

The slip dress is one of those classic pieces that never goes out of style. Paired with a leather jacket or combat boots, it’s got a cool, grungy feel; dressed up with a heel, it’s suddenly ready for evening. But seasonally, the slip dress is more at home in summer than fall—its silky, lightweight construction can make you feel a tad chilly in the cooler months. But leave it to the stylish Katie Holmes to show just how to wear it this season.

Last night, the actress, who has been on a winning fashion streak lately, stepped out in New York City wearing a weather-appropriate take on the slip dress. She wore a long-sleeved maxi style by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini. The gray dress had a delicate lace trim along the slit. Shen then styled the elegant piece with a hefty wool overcoat and zebra-striped knee-high boots by Khaite, her favorite label of the moment. These two fall-ready pieces perfectly warmed up the slinky dress.
