Katie Holmes has once again captured attention with her fashion choices, this time endorsing one of the season’s most controversial shoe trends. On Wednesday, November 13, the actress stepped out in New York wearing a pair of square-toed, menswear-inspired loafers—a silhouette that has divided fashion fans.
The Acne Studios shoes featured a distinct angular toe, a puckered trim, and a slight block heel, making them stand out in a crowd. While some have labeled this bold design as “so-bad-it’s-good” or “sleazy-chic,” Holmes’ endorsement of the look gives it undeniable weight.
Holmes, 45, embraced a quirky, thrift-store vibe for the rest of her outfit. She paired the loafers with a limited-edition Marfa Stance bomber jacket. The oversized, reversible jacket, which is both water-repellent and quilted on the inside, added a practical yet stylish touch to her ensemble.
In keeping with the casual, retro-inspired theme, the actress wore wide-leg denim and a cozy white turtleneck with a loose, early-2000s silhouette. She finished off the look with a large tan leather bag, big enough to carry everything from a spare pair of shoes to the essentials.
While square-toed shoes may not be for everyone—especially those accustomed to the more classic pointy or round-toe styles—Holmes’ effortless styling shows how they can work in an off-duty look. The key to pulling off this divisive trend lies in balancing it with the right accessories and a laid-back, oversized outfit.
