Katie Holmes Proves That Denim-On-Denim Dressing Is Here To Stay

Nobody does elevated street style like Katie Holmes. Case in point: The Rare Object star’s recent outings around New York. The actress has been spotted wearing some of the biggest spring 2024 trends, including donning a utility-chic Everlane x Marques Almeida patchwork jacket and a vintage Chloé studded denim overcoat. And her most recent on-trend outfit comes in the form of a double-denim outfit courtesy of Banana Republic.  

If you’ve been keeping up with R29's fashion coverage, then you know that denim is a mega trend right now. All of your favorite retailers are amping up their jean games, but are also experimenting with layering patchwork denim jackets as well as spring-y denim dresses and trendy denim bags. Plus, all of our favorite influencers and celebs (cough, cough, Beyoncé) are showing just how fun and wearable a denim-on-denim look truly is. Now, we’re looking to Holmes for inspo.

Holmes opted for a high-fashion Canadian tuxedo, donning a unique denim vest and wide-leg jean, which she accessorized with chunky loafers. And even better, each Banana Republic style comes in under $150. Read on to find out Holmes’ exact go-to denim pieces as well as alternatives for the brand to put together your own head-to-toe denim ‘fit.

Let’s first shoutout this Banana Republic vest, which boasts a unique crew neckline, flared waist, and vintage-inspired details. You can easily add the trendy vest to a Western-style outfit or an elevated evening look by pairing it with a sleek dress or satin midi skirt. The versatile piece can also be worn on its own in spring and summer, like how Holmes chose, and then styled over a long-sleeve top or under an oversized jacket in the fall and winter.

Now onto a true closet staple: blue jeans. Holmes wore Banana Republic’s $150 wide-leg trouser jeans in a dark wash, a polished look that we’ve seen across recent spring runways such as Staud, Valentino, Self-Portrait, Coperni, and Dries Van Noten. And, trust us, the wide-leg style isn’t going anywhere. Kate Bellman, editorial and content director at Nordstrom, previously told Refinery29: “As we’re seeing the pendulum swing away from decades of the skinny jean, naturally wide legs emerge as a key silhouette.”

The brand also offers this exact style in a lighter spring-appropriate wash (see below) as well as similar flared jeans that are just too good to pass up on, especially at their price points.
