Katie Holmes Looks Stunning with Chic Beachy Waves, Nearly Unrecognizable

Katie Holmes manages to nail pretty much every look she wears. It doesn’t matter if she’s on a red carpet or running errands, Holmes has got it. But her style hasn’t come without its own hard-earned effort. Holmes went through a stunning style transformation after her divorce from Tom Cruise, and has come to hold her own in the world of fashion. Still, the “Dawson’s Creek” alum doesn’t let the pressure of being a style icon get to her. She’ll step out in casual clothes anytime she wants, and Holmes even posts pics of herself without makeup. (She looks gorgeous. No surprise there.)

But Holmes is changing up her look yet again, which just goes to show that her style continues to evolve. In the past, she has tended to stick to a rich, natural brown tone and infrequently experiments with waves. But that all changed in March 2025, when Holmes stepped out with a combination of brown and blond tones, showcasing one of the best versions of bronde hair we’ve ever seen. It’s a much warmer look on her. Holmes added to that rich color by playing with texture, and the tousled, beachy waves she incorporated were so long that Holmes looked like a mermaid.
