Katie Holmes never fails to look effortlessly elegant, and her latest look is no exception. Captured in New York, she styled a striking satin purple dress with a laid-back grey denim jacket, a statement red handbag, and the most wonderful yellow velvet ballet flats.
When it comes to dressing during the festive period, there is lots to consider, from finding the perfect Christmas party outfit to curating a warm and practical winter capsule wardrobe. The key to finding the perfect balance between party-ready looks and stylish daywear is, of course, choosing pieces that offer versatile styling options. And Holmes' combination of both an evening wear-ready satin dress and laid-back denim jacket nails this approach.

Our woman&home Digital Fashion Editor Caroline Parr comments on this look, "The rich colours of Katie's outfits are so festive, and I love that she hasn't been afraid to clash a bold, bright red with a plum purple satin dress. The latter is a layering staple too - it would look great with tights, boots and a chunky knit over the top.".
