Katie Holmes

 

We thought we'd take a break from all of the divorce news and have a look through some of Katie Holmes' more memorable looks. Check out our gallery below to see how the former Dawson Creek star's style has gotten better and better over the years. Like a great wine. Or even a really good cheese...

For the 1998 Academy Awards a very young Katie attended looking like butter wouldn't melt in a cap-sleeved white frock that looked scarily wedding dress-like

Katie Holmes & Chris Kline

 

It was brown-all-round for the premiere of Katie's flick, First Daughter. Even the carpet was a peculiar shade of brown.

Holmes attended the event with then-fiance Chris Kline who helpfully dressed up for the bash. A brown velvet suit, sheeny tie and Sun-In spikes. Mmm...

In 2005 Katie ditched old velvet suit in favour of her new beau - Mr Tom Cruise.

For the premiere of Tom's movie, War of the Worlds, in London Katie opted for a spaghetti-strapped Christian Dior dress teamed with Christian Louboutin heels. Whilst we are happy you got rid of the dull frock, we reckon a good brassiere would have worked wonders here

Katie Holmes & Suri!

 

A now-married and heavily pregnant Katie was snapped shopping for goodies in Barney's toy store, New York. The actress looked gorge in her dainty-print smock dress paired with standout red flats

Just over a year after little Suri Cruise was born her mum made a drastic change to her look by lopping of the long brown locks she was known for. And she looked AMAZING.

Seen here in November 2007 at the Lions for Lambs premiere in LA wearing a sleek black Lanvin creation with jewelled flats. Very Grecian and very Tom-height-approved

Late November 2007 saw Katie's most dramatic change yet.

At the Bambi Awards Holmes showed off her eye-skimming fringe and blunt-cut bob. Fashion forward and very cute.

Katie also stepped a little further out of her fashon comfort box shunning her usual slightly drab frocks in favour of a stylish Monique L'hullier navy gown and sparkling bolero

When most people are battling the post-Christmas bulge in January, 2008 saw a very slim Katie Holmes step out on to the red carpet. Maybe Scientologists don't scoff lots during the festive season?

Holmes chose a silver strapless Giorgio Armani dress and matching metallic accessories for the event

The blunt fringe was back in time for an appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala in May 2005 and this time it was even shorter. Brave!

Though the actress looked like she might have overdosed on the fake tan, she did bowl us over with her vibrant glittering strapless dress and blue Christian Louboutins

Uh-oh. Sexy-dowdy-mommy is here. Ever wonder if it's possible for an outift to be raunchy and dull? Here's proof it can.

Katie attended hubby Tom's new film Tropic Thunder in August 2008 wearing a halter-neck navy dress with a leather bodice and strappy heels. We think it's possibly her shorter MOM hair cut that tips this look over the dowdy edge. What do you think, heatworlders?

Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise

 

For the Valkyrie premiere in Berlin Katie had managed to style her mumsy chop into a chic shaggy 'do with an on-trend centre parting. Excellent work, Mrs Cruise. We also didn't mind her noir jumpsuit, the plunging V-neck saving it from being binned off as boring

Holmes went for a cutesy striped frock for the prem of The Extra Man in 2010. The dress might be sweet for a lunch date but a red carpet premiere? We're not sure...

2011 was the year that fashion Katie really came alive. The star looked fab in this monochrome Stella McCartney two-piece at the premiere of The Decision in America

One of our fave recent Katie looks. The gorgeous actress wowed at 56th Annual Drama Desk Awards in New York in May 2011 in fuchsia Holmes & Yang. Yep, that's right. Her own design. Niiiice...

At the Don't Be Afraid of the Dark premiere in LA Katie Holmes made us look twice. How much does she look like Joey Potter here? All shiny haired, smiley and glowing

Katie Holmes

 

Katie channelled her inner vamp for the MTV Video Music Awads in August 2011 in LA.

The long haired hotty chose a fierce Azzedine Alaia dress teamed with tough Proenza Schouler boots and a cheeky hip-pose

Remember that long white wedding number she wore back in 1998? Look how far our lady has come!

Katie looked heavenly in a sky-blue Calvin Klein floorsweeper for the 2011 Emmys
