Katie Holmes Steps Out in the Ultimate Undercover Coat

There are certain pieces celebrities will wear while trying to go incognito. The baseball cap and large sunglasses are always popular for avoiding the paparazzi. But this fall, there’s a strategic outerwear style that can further play up the undercover vibe: the classic trench coat. Discreet but chic, it’s a staple for the season that can, if successful, go almost entirely unnoticed. Katie Holmes tested out the look on the streets of New York City yesterday, although despite her best effort she was caught in the act.

Holmes has been serving up the fashion moments lately, from her viral sexy cardigan to her striking New York Fashion Week look—so it’s no wonder the paparazzi was on high alert. Still, her classic khaki trench by Wardrobe.NYC, slightly oversized in fit, was both stealthy and put-together. For a more modern spin, she styled it with double denim: a long-sleeved button-up and straight-leg jeans, both in a light wash and by Levi's x Wardrobe.NYC. She then finished off the ensemble with her go-to black mules and large black sunglasses by Westward Leaning x Olivia Palermo—doubling down on the fashion camouflage.
