Katie Holmes Embraces the Statement Belt Trend in Nostalgic Fashion
Katie Holmes has made a compelling argument for the statement belt trend as we head into 2025. Are you ready to jump on board?
As celebrities often do, Katie recently celebrated her 46th birthday, but rather than participate in an extravagant party or lavish getaway, she took the stage in the Broadway production of Our Town, just as she has for weeks now. On December 18, before she donned her stage attire, Holmes showcased her birthday style on the streets, proving once again that she’s a master of the ‘90s cool-girl aesthetic.
Walking to the renowned Barrymore Theatre in New York, Holmes appeared jovial, with paparazzi capturing her radiant spirit. She paired a chic black cropped wool jacket with a striking metallic gold belt, accentuating her look and adding flair with two striking bolt rings linked by a two-tone chain. The common consensus is that this standout piece is actually vintage Chanel from the late 1990s, potentially a relic from her Dawson’s Creek days.
To complement her belted look, Holmes opted for mid-wash jeans from Nili Lotan, sporting the trendy barrel jean silhouette. Topping off her ensemble were classic black square-toe ankle boots, perfectly luxe next to her Mansur Gavriel oversized tote, a staple in her wardrobe this year. To keep the focus on her bold belt, she chose minimal accessories, including a relaxed black beanie and trendy aviator sunglasses.
Holmes isn’t alone in embracing this bold fashion statement. The fall streets have seen a surge of unique belts as other celebrities jump on the trend. For instance, Cate Blanchett recently showcased a striking black belt while promoting her film, Rumours, in a matchy-matchy sky blue outfit. Laura Dern followed suit in a stylish Western-themed shirt dress, accentuated by a sleek multi-buckle belt from Polo Ralph Lauren. Selena Gomez, too, was spotted in a stunning ensemble featuring white wide-leg trousers and a studded belt from Khaite.
The statement belt trend shows no signs of fading as we approach 2025. Keep an eye on The Zoe Report for updates on which stars will adopt this bold look in the upcoming year.
