Katie Holmes: I’m Bringing Waistcoats Back
A solo Katie Holmes leaves Eden Roc Hotel on Thursday in Cap d’Antibes to catch a flight at France’s Nice airport. Mrs. Tom Cruise paired her simple white tee with white wide-legged pants. She finished off her look with a bright yellow handbag and off-white pumps.
But one of the hotter trends celebrities seem to have picked up on this season is the waistcoat. Katie wore a brown leather waistcoat with pockets to the airport while Britney Spears wore a pocketless pinstriped version last week.
10+ pictures inside of Katie getting her waistcoat on…
WHAT DO YOU THINK of the latest waistcoat trend? Would you wear it?

Waistcoat? or Coast?
Thanks, Mmmmm. You’re #1! (;
OMG, I am did I win something? Teehee
Btw, I like it!
“Waistcoat”??? I thought it was called a “vest.” Looks okay, I guess but these Hollywood people are so boring. They always pick up the latest “trend” from the runways in Paris. Why can’t they think for themselves? That’s why I like Angelina. She’s never “trendy” just classy or retro or boho, depending on her mood.
Angelina is dressing to cover up her anorexia. That’s not really a fashion statement.
Katie just hasn’t looked good lately. She used to be pretty and stylish now she looks like a poser who either wants to be victoria beckham or tom cruise.
i liked her hair long, i dont think this haircut is good for her, it makes her look realy older than she is
bytheway- you say this about angelina: She’s never “trendy” just classy or retro or boho, depending on her mood - and in jennifer threads people are degrading aniston as not classy just because of that she is often wearing casual wear
I like the waistcoat and Katie wears it well.
Why does every topic have to turn to angelina and brad?
Boring!
And why is she by herself? Are her services no longer required? Suri’s back in storage and the mommying is done?
wow love itt
lov her outfitt!
por that waistcoat
perfect couple
still looking awkward, she only smirks, poor unhappy katie i feel for her
No she isn’t.
4 Essie
The best was in the 80’s, it is 2007. Btw granny panties & granny clothes is not classy or boho .. its plain hobo. She looks like a homeless person 99% of the time, she even has the starving thing going on.
Someone get her a sign “Will work for charity”
Ops I meant vest not best ..
I think she looks gr8 here.
That ‘waistcoat’ thing looks like a leather lobster bib! Look at the photo of Katie showing the back of it. She’s is also awfully thin and has no shape.
Unless she is in jeans she looks like she is playing dress-up in mommy’s closet.
In the first pic, Katie looks just like her mom. She is so pretty.
I love vest and she is carrying this really well. This is the best ensemble of the week, I think.
She looks adorable.
she looks good…except for the sunglasses.
#9. Could not agree with you more.
As far as Katie is concerned………….BORING!!!
kATIE GIVE IT UP, YOU ARE FAR FAR AWAY FROM BECOMING A FASHION ICON…OH BEFORE I FORGET SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR LEGS LOOK FAR BETTER COVERED UP, THUNDERTIGHS AND PIGEON-TOED IS NOT ATTRACTIVE.!!
Why are they so many people so obsessed with AJ, that they feel the need to bring her or BP in every single topic, even if it has nothing to do with them ?
That’s called a VEST, idiot, not a waitscoat.
Waistcoat?? WTF??
man sum ppl try so hard 2 make a fashion statements, i like the bag though
katie needs 2 get tips from GWEN STEFANI not POSH
actually the correct fashion term is “weskit”
No. She looks like an old hag.
Katie is nothing but a shopping *****. she has no use but spend spend spend…what a useless frivolous life…wait she does have use..keeping Barneys in business
and that hair…accccccck..she looks so much better with longer hair…the waistcost look is not for her
Waistcoats have been the “in thing” in Europe now (or at least in the UK) for over a year now, Kate Moss was well into it all for a while…personally I think it depends how they’re worn but it looks ok here…at least Tom isn’t in the pics!
She so desperately is trying to become a fashion plate, but she always looks so incredibly awkward - as though she is playing dress up. I find myself almost embarrassed for her when I look at pictures such as these. (at least Tom is not with her so her towering over him doesn’t add to her already-painful awkwardness). She just lacks the grace, poise and style to carry these looks off - she is not wearing the clothes, they are wearing her!
“Weskit” that’s the word I was thinking about. I thought a “waistcoat” was what Edwardian gentlemen wore.
At any rate, I like Katie’s new haircut. Looks nice on her but I agree she dresses a bit too old for her age. But she has money to burn these days and not much to do, really, so shopping is evidently her hobby now.
I was in Cap d’Antibes last month. Lovely place. Didn’t stay at the Eden Roc though!!!
Woah and what’s with this whole waitcoat/vest battle that’s going?! To me that’s a waistcoat she’s wearing…a vest would be an undergarment for warmth or one of those wifebeater vest tops people ususally wear at the gym etc…different vocabs people, get used to it! ;)
She looks FAB. People- you’re blind! I hate the sunglasses though…SHE’S HOT!
And what with the AJ thing? every TOMKAT item is turned into a Brangelina discussion. Same with Suri and Shiloh. On the other hand TK are never brought up when the item is about Brangelina… wierd people. (And I like Brangelina a lot!)
OMG! Now she’s bringing the 1970’s back? Good lord this, woman is nuts! Tom and her are perfect for each other. Him trying to look like an outdated 5th Beetle and all. Nuff said!
I love the bag! And actually the hair cut is excellent–just doesn’t go well with the texture of her hair. As for the outfit, as usual it is wearing her and she is not wearing it! She doesn’t have the panache to carry it off.
Another thing - the amount of money she must spend on clothes is staggering. I think Katie fell in love with Tom Cruise the “package” and not the man. The package being the homes, the private jet, the limitless credit cards, etc..
I have such little respect for her anymore - she seems like a mindless twit who, in return for limitless spending priviledges and hobnobbing on private jets with the rich and famous, basically sold out, allowing Tom to lead her around, telling her how to think, believe, etc..
Pathetic.
she has to be the ugliest thing in hollywood ever’ be it a dress or jeans sge always looks so effing uncordinated and shabby looking seriously she’s really becoming uglier and older everyday
She has really poor taste. When she is cast in a movie, they dress her really well in clothes that fit her characteristics.
“Vest” is the American term for “waistcoat” – that would be the ENGLISH term for it. You know, English ? The original language from which American english is derived?
Only an idiot would automatically assume the American term is the only one.
Look at the Trolls.
Mmmmm sucks
She looks old
Geesh Nicole!!! Calm down. It was just a silly discussion. I’m well aware that American and English is a bit different when it comes to certain words. I don’t think I’m an idiot . . . at least I’ve not been called such before!!! I could not give a flying **** about whether it’s a vest or a waistcoat. Get over yourself!!
I don’t like the waistcoat (?)/vest or her handbag, but I like her clean, crisp white outfit and her shoes. I think her short hair makes her look more sophisticated, not old.
Ann, about a year before Tom married Katie there was a “blind item” in one of the gossip columns that stated Cruise’s people had chosen a “young starlet” to marry him and have a child, whether by natural or in vitro and that said “young starlet” would receive a sum of $5 million for each year they are married. (They didn’t mention either Tom or Katie by name but the Tom part was easy to guess.)
Anyway, how else would Katie Holmes become as famous as she has become and as rich as she has become if she had not married Cruise? She was just a sitcom star, on cable. She would have faded from view and nobody would have even noticed!!!
Ummm the waistcoat has been a popular trend since Kate Moss wore it in 2005 at Glatsonbury. American celebrities do not create trends….oh except for the juicy couture track ex trend.
Sorry Essie - I was referring to M #24, not you.
That’s the person actually calling someone an idiot. Anyway, I agree, it really doesn’t matter which word one uses.
It actually is a waistcoat because it has buttons and quite short.
Vest dont have buttons and are usually knitted.
I think the real question is why she’s borrowing Tom’s clothes? That waistcoat probably hits him mid-thigh!
She was never a fashion maven before so WTF? She does not have the grace to pull off wearing designer clothes. Waistcoat popularized by Kate Moss, she wears them all the time.
waist coat? looks like a vest to me. Maybe in other countries a vest is called a waistcoat? Jared, are you from Canada or England?
Anyway, I personally love vests and have always worn them even when others have scorned me.
So.. I like it, obviously.
She just lacks the grace, poise and style to carry these looks off - she is not wearing the clothes, they are wearing her!
————————————————-
Yeah, I kind of agree. Dont like knocking others but Jared did ask what we thought.
BTW, not really loving the hair but Katie is pretty.. and hair grows back if she doesnt like it.
I think Katie fell in love with Tom Cruise the “package” and not the man. The package being the homes, the private jet, the limitless credit cards, etc..
______________________
Well if you think about it, it almost had to be that way. They met and what? two weeks later were an item?! After being swept off her feet with private planes and trips to italy..etc. a few weeks after that.. she is pregnant. How well can you really get to know someone in a month?
Vest dont have buttons and are usually knitted.
___________________
Um, I have a lot of buttoned vests. and made from all kinds of material.
Remember back when Tom was jumping on couches Katie was model- thin? She’s looking too skinny again. Her rings are spinning on her fingers. I liked her when she had some post-baby lbs on her.
Check out her mags. I think many women love fashion but its amazing how much $$ celebs can spend–the purse alone probably cost thousands. It’s possible to look beautiful and classy and spend a fraction of what she does.
I don’t know about other countries but the ‘gilet’ or vest or waistcoat (for girls) has been a trent for 1 or 2 years, at least over here in Belgium
And I’ve seen it on other celbrities MANY times ( kate moss, sienna miller,… )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waistcoat
I guess justjared is an american blogsite. It is nice to see the ‘correct’ usage of a word for once!!
Waistcoat it is - depending on which side of the world you are from!!
Hey people, be like your idol Angie and embrace things of other cultures!!
Why doesn’t she get her teeth fixed? All the designer clothes in the world won’t hide her ugly mouth. Tom wore braces just a few years ago.
The pants are fug, the vest is fug, the bag is fug, the sungoggles are fug, and ultimately KatIe is fug. Tom got his wish, he turned her into his Mom.
Are we calling it a waistcoat now? I thought it was a vest. Confused. I am really up on fashion usually but I have heard no one call this a waistcoat til now. I didn’t look at any of the pics up close so maybe there is something different about it I am not seeing. Off to go look.

I guess I should expolain that to my down VEST I had back in the seventies. “Sorry, you have buttons and you are not knitted so you can’t be a vest. Despite what your manufacturer labeled you, you are a waistcoat.”
. It is nice to see the ‘correct’ usage of a word for once!!
You surely are assuming a lot. For one that waistcoat is the “correct” usage for everyone, It isn’t where I live, and that Angelina is everyone’s idol. I admire her but I don’t idolize her.
Well I have worn a lot of vests in my time. Never have ever heard them being referred to as waist coat. How quaint! My vests have had buttons and been made of different fabric and material.
I think it is just in the US, we call it a vest and in other countries it is called a waistcoat. Doesnt make one word right and the other wrong. Just depends on where you live.

LOL funny! Hope your vest takes the news well.
:lol:
Angelina is dressing to cover up her anorexia. That’s not really a fashion statement.

And Katie you look like my grandma what happen to you, don’t you have your own style why do you have to copy Posh. You look so old ughhhhh grow your hair back girl
67 thats_right
_______
Well maybe some people do
the waist-thingy is plain stupid, it serves no function and defies logic
i’m torn on her hair… though it def makes her look at least 7-10 yrs older, it does confer a more stylish note to her outfits in general. she looks more put-together, but looking put-together at her age = looking older, too.
Katie is so classy.
Im following Katie’s do and the way she dresses up.
This girl has amazing taste and carries herself with grace and real beauty.
I wish the gremlins would get off Katie’s dcik.
Tom is bringing out the beautiful woman in Katie and her sexy side.
LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Jared for the photos.
I was wondering what a waistcoat is and it looks alot like a vest.That is what we called them in the 70’s.Maybe they are very similar.
Classic beauty.
You can’t buy style. You either have it of you don’t! And Katie definitely does NOT have it…try again
Simply adorable.
Fab as always….
Katie is so sweet and huggable just like baby Suri.
this vest doesn’t match the outfit, no style, not pretty, just a shame.i guess you could dress better than that if you have no money problem.
but good taste is not a matter of money, just look at her husband she has very bad taste for that too!!!
She’s becoming a fashion icon.
I love her because she’s a gifted actress,got such a well rounder personality and the All American beauty.
THAT IS AN HERMéS VEST WORTH OVER 1500$
POOR KATIE!
She just can’t handle the high fashion. She can’t pull it off. Some people just have it and some don’t and she doesn’t have it. The hair cut gives her a mush face and does nothing for her but make her look old. I know Tom is about 17 years or more older than her so maybe she was tired of looking like his little sister. She used to be sorta pretty, but not anymore.
Katie has class and easily pulls off whatever she wears. She is a very beautiful girl and I enjoyed the Suri pictures a lot. I like this family. I kinda like her waste coat and her hair looks nice in these pics.
Love her shoes. Gal has an eye for shoes. She looks really nice lately, o.k usually but lately she looks very beautiful, may be I just was not paying attention before.
I think Katie is loosing herself trying so hard to look older because deep down inside she knows and she is coscious that people think Tom is too old for her, also this poor girl has no fashion sense, again she is trying so hard to be like Victoria Beckham….without understanding that her physique is not like Poshe’s, Katie is a tall woman with huge feet, big calves, thighs etc that is her body type and she can’t change that no matter how skinny she’ll become……wearing the crochet miniskirt w/ high heels at the beach the other day was horrendous, she is trying so hard she is just making mistake after mistake…..
Precious just like her daughter Suri. She’s good for Tom. Ive never seen Tom so happy and he looks so young for a man on his 40’s.Even better than other actors who are young but look like they’re in rehab.
Katie has a great soul.
Did someone say $1,500 for that vest? I realize money’s no object but does that thing really make her feel special? Maybe it doesn’t photograph well…Boy, she’s making Tom pay big time.
Well I see Katie’s shills have arrived. I guess the clams can pay a few morans to patrol the web and post obsequeous responses to her fugass pictures…
“Katie has a great soul.”
Really? Can you see it? Do you have a special soul enhancing lens on your monitor or TV?
“She’s becoming a fashion icon.”
??? I just have no words. She’s riding the coattails of a has been and can’t look good with professional handlers buying for her and dressing her.
She is trying way too hard. Buying $1500 vests and $6000 bags does not make you a fashion icon, sorry Katie.
She looks like a bored nouveau riche house frau. Money does not become her and neither does couture.
I wonna be like Katie Holmes!!!
This lady has a lot of class.
Hhhmmm, I liked the older ‘chick flick’ Katie Holmes but I guess being a mommy made her grow more mature. I also like her like this. The classy new Katie Holmes- Cruise (Haha!) I like everything she’s wearing EXCEPT from the waistcoat, it’s hard to pull those off. She should’ve taken away the waistcoat…and wore a nice jacket instead. Anyhow, she looks pretty nice and funky with those shades and new hair.
Btw, thats a Louis Vuitton bag, I saw it in an ad. another day. ;)
I love her shoes here!
