Katie Holmes Has Secretly Been Dressing Like Carrie Bradshaw, and These 12 Pics Are Proof
She lives in New York, has a pretty cool career, and has been known to wear poofy skirts and peek-a-boo bras. Wait — are we talking about Katie Holmes or Carrie Bradshaw here? Well, considering Holmes frequently channels the Sex and the City character when it comes to her outfits, this description could honestly apply to either woman.
While Holmes's most recent looks have no doubt inspired a handful of shopping trips, we began to wonder why, exactly, we've been so obsessed with what the star has been wearing. Then it hit us: those bold, colorful outfits reminded us of stuff we saw Carrie wear throughout the series and in the movies. With a little bit of photo research, it was possible to prove our theory. The actress has secretly been dressing just like the iconic TV character, whether she realizes it or not.
You don't just have to take our word for it. Ahead, we've put together a few side-by-side comparisons, and the resemblance is uncanny. But Katie is far from the only celebrity to take style tips from a '90s fashion icon. Remember when Jordyn Woods was dressing just like The Nanny's Fran Fine?
