Katie Holmes, you good?
Here in New York, temperatures reached a spicy 95 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday afternoon. But not even a heat wave could stop the celebrities from stepping out in heavy denim, layers of knitwear, and buttoned-up long sleeves.
Take Holmes, for example. Here she is in New York City wearing a matching knit dress and shawl situation, which is the equivalent of stepping outside wrapped in an afghan. According to retailers, the Chloé dress is made of a wool-cashmere blend and features a tightly knit pattern. Cute, but a recipe for sweat??
Listen—I’ll be the first to admit that boiling outdoor temperatures means absolutely frigid indoor temperatures, and transitioning from the sticky heat to the icy, air-conditioned hotel lobbies and luxury stores, or wherever it is that Katie Holmes spends her afternoons, can make dressing for the day a confusing if not impossible task.
But wool?? I can’t look at this detail shot without overheating:
A few hours later, Holmes was back at it again, this time wearing indigo-wash denim and a white button-up shirt tucked in. Is she, like our friend Jennifer Lopez, impervious to sweat?
Speaking of Lopez, who is known to wear black turtlenecks outdoors in July, Holmes also wore a black turtleneck for an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. She paired the top with a below-the-knee leather skirt.
The actor is currently promoting her new film, Alone Together, which she wrote, directed, and stars in, and is coming to theaters on July 29. At the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the film back in June, Holmes wore a more seasonally appropriate (though still notably knit) dress, also by Chloé. It seems like our girl just wants to be cozy, and we can’t fault her for that. Fall can’t come soon enough.
