Katie Holmes on Why She’s “Adamant” About Not Letting Hollywood “Dictate” What She Wears

As a long-time admirer of Katie Holmes, I can’t help but be consistently impressed by her resilience and unwavering authenticity in Hollywood. Her ability to navigate the ever-changing landscape of showbiz while staying true to herself is nothing short of inspiring.


After two decades in the entertainment industry, Katie Holmes continues to make her own choices regarding her projects and personal style, refusing to let Hollywood dictate them.

The actress has shared insights with Town & Country about her journey adapting to shifts within the industry, particularly the increased scrutiny of her wardrobe due to social media platforms.

“The former star of Dawson’s Creek remarked that fashion has grown significantly compared to the past. ‘As an actor,’ he said, ‘we weren’t typically snapped by photographers on the street. Nowadays, it’s a different story, and while it’s complimentary, it doesn’t alter my lifestyle or wardrobe choices. I prioritize living my life and not allowing this industry to influence decisions like what I wear or more complex matters such as my actions. Fear should never be a factor, after all?'”

Just as with the roles she accepts, Holmes can now choose film projects more carefully. She gravitates towards those that ignite her enthusiasm, a luxury not always available at the start of her career.

“The star of ‘Coda’ stated, ‘Am I currently handling 20 projects with a go-ahead? No. Would managing fewer projects simplify things for me? Absolutely. Is it impractical? Yes.’ Everyone must find their unique narrative, piece it together, and craft poetry from everyday occurrences. There is much deliberation behind the projects I choose, but ultimately, the goal is to produce something that resonates with the audience. You’re always at the mercy of someone else’s decision-making.'”

Since her debut as Joey Potter on “Dawson’s Creek” from 1998 to 2003, Holmes has significantly advanced her career. Not only has she starred in successful films, but she has also ventured into producing, directing, and fashion (recently partnered with the French brand A.P.C.). Moreover, she established her own production company, Lafayette Pictures.
