    After effortlessly mastering Spring 2026's strawberry red and aquamarine blue color combination, Katie Holmes has turned to French Girl-approved styling for her latest outing.

    The Dawson's Creek icon was photographed in New York City on Saturday, April 25, wearing a classic Parisian style—a Breton striped top with long sleeves and a hood. Holmes paired the chic top with black straight-leg jeans, another French Girl-approved style direct from the streets of Paris.

    The actress and director also brought a little New York City charm to her outfit, accessorizing her look with a tote bag from Manhattan institution, the Strand Bookstore.

    Finally, Holmes wore a pair of aviator sunglasses, an unusual pendant necklace featuring a peace sign symbol, and Beats wireless earbuds in one of Spring 2026's maximalist color trends—canary yellow. As always, Holmes's style perfectly encapsulates the burgeoning trends of the current season.
