Surprisingly Affordable Fall Fashion Finds Straight from Katie Holmes’ Closet: A Madewell Bag, Reformation Jeans, and More


The baggy jeans, the sweatpants tucked into tube socks, the big jackets over bigger pants. In a word of hyper-polished celebs and influencers, I just love Katie Holmes’ wonderfully weird street style. 


Don’t get me wrong, the girl can dress when the occasion calls for it. But when it comes to running out for groceries or a cup of coffee, Holmes says she doesn’t put too much thought into it: “It’s not my job.” And in super visible New York City, she’s photographed all the time, often re-wearing surprisingly affordable pieces, like her beloved $100 Sambas. 



We scoured a few months of Holmes’ raw street looks and found five items under $200 that the A-lister wears from brands like BaubleBar, Alo, Reformation, and Madewell. Add these fall finds to your closet — we think you’ll reach for them just as often as Holmes.

The most affordable piece on our list is also the most recent. On November 1, Holmes was seen strolling the streets of New York City in the Juno Rose Quartz Necklace from BaubleBar, which is just $38. The brand told us it’s a best-selling style that’s sold out five times since it launched in January — so you may want to pick it up while it’s still in stock. 



Holmes layered the pendant necklace with two other BaubleBar styles, the Mini-Hera Necklace and the Clio 18K Gold Necklace. She completed the look with a slightly cropped classic white tee, cream cardigan, black high-rise straight-leg jeans, and simple black ballet flats.

We can’t count the number of times we’ve seen Holmes in these sweatpants from Alo. She likes them so much that she owns them in three colors: white (just restocked!), heather gray (also recently back in stock), and a green color that’s no longer available. 



They’re 30 percent off right now, bringing the $118 price tag down to $82 — still, kind of expensive for sweatpants. For a more affordable alternative, check out these Hanes sweatpants at Amazon. Normally a very reasonable $24, they’re marked down to just $18 right now. 



While Holmes often wears her sweatpants with tanks and tees, we like her unexpected choice of an oversized button-up. This Amazon Essentials top has a similar look, and it’s on sale for less than $30.

Adidas Sambas have become popular with a lot of celebs in the last few years, but no one gets their cost-per-wear from the $100 sneaker like Holmes. She often wears them with her Alo sweatpants, but also with jeans and cargo pants. 



This shot of her in late September is quintessential Katie: Totally relaxed in sweats and sneakers with sleek accessories (including that Madewell bag!) that give the outfit its New York City cool. This well-reviewed heavyweight hoodie from Hanes has a similar look to hers, and it’s on sale for $19.

Bear with us on this one. Holmes’ dress-over-jeans look for the 2022 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball was divisive, yes. But under that mini tube dress was a very good pair of jeans: The Wilder High Rise Wide Leg style from Reformation. 



The jeans are fitted through the waist, hips, and thigh with a wide leg and are made from non-stretch cotton. They have a 33-inch inseam that Holmes took a pair of scissors to for the red carpet, but you don’t need to: Reformation offers free alterations. 



While the exact wash Holmes wore is no longer available, there are six colors to choose from, including black, white, and a unique green shade. These on-sale Levi’s offer a similar look for under $50.

Last, but certainly not least, is the bucket tote Holmes wears nearly as often as the Sambas (and frequently together!). Its pared-down style and rich-looking leather scream “quiet luxury,” and I personally thought it was a four-figure bag from a brand like The Row. Surprise, surprise, it’s from Madewell and costs under $200. 



According to the brand, the Essential Bucket Tote is sized to hold up to a 15-inch laptop plus a water bottle. It has a magnetic closure (genius) and an adjustable strap with an interior pocket to keep your keys and phone at hand. Holmes has the chocolate raisin color, but it also comes in black and brown leather, as well as navy suede. 



Thank you, Katie Holmes, for parading the streets in your wonderful and sometimes weird outfits — and for including so many pieces from accessible brands so we can copy and paste your looks.
