    • This weekend, Instagram goddess Katie Holmes added yet another perfect photo to her artsy grid.
    • In the new photo, Katie poses on a window sill in a sexy, short, matching pink pajama set while holding an old-fashioned camera and wearing her hair in a perfectly messy top knot.
    • The hazy, back-lit photo is the definition of artsy sexiness, which also happens to aptly summarize the actress' overall Instagram aesthetic.

    Another week, another perfect Instagram from Katie Holmes. The actress added a new dreamy photo to her Instagram grid on Saturday, and she might just have outdone herself.

    In the new hazy, back-lit photo, Katie is the epitome of low-key, artsy sexiness in a short, pink matching pajama set with her hair thrown up in a messy top knot. She holds an old-fashioned camera in her hands while sitting on a window sill and the whole effect is like something out of an arthouse movie — which, if we're being honest, is a pretty good description of Katie's overall aesthetic anyway.

    And how does one caption such a gorgeous photo? With a simple emoji, because there are no words to describe this, of course.

    "🌞," Katie wrote as the photo's caption.
