Katie Holmes and Baggy Jeans: The Photographic Evidence
While attending rehearsals for Broadway’s revival of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons over the past couple of weeks in New York, Katie Holmes has been clinging to her pegged boyfriend jeans like a security blanket while away from her home in Los Angeles—which hasn’t gone unnoticed by gossip and fashion blogs, all of which seem to be wondering what has inspired this new sartorial direction.
We can’t pretend to know what’s going through Ms. Holmes’s mind (can anyone really these days?), but according to US Weekly, this tired old pair of jeans belongs to her husband, Tom Cruise. A rep for Prps, the brand that manufactured the jean, told the magazine that they’ve even adopted the men’s style for women for their fall collection.
Ms. Holmes’ borrowed pair of slouchy pants—a look more appropriate for a fishing trip than the streets of Lower Manhattan—have appeared in a variety of poses. There they are with a silk scarf and neat little cardigan; with ruby red three-inch heels and a hot pink sweater; with black, red, silver and copper flats; paired with loose-fitting cardigans and t-shirts as she takes daughter, Suri, to the park, and hops in and out of her chauffeured SUV between rehearsals. With each passing day they appear more and more faded. Perhaps a visit to the dry cleaners is in order.

at least she changed her shoes and cardigan everyday...though those baggy man-pants have to be getting a little ripe by now.
I call bullsh*t on the jeans belonging to Cruise. If that were true, why would she need to roll those suckers up?!
I think it is bullshit too. How about other celebs wearing them, are they wearing Tom's jeans too. It is a new style.
maybe they *are* tom's pants-- maybe he made her promise to wear them every day she's away from him so that she looks ridiculously dowdy to other males of the species.
i don't think those are the same. i think she has several jeans that look almost exactly alike. but the shade is a tad dif, and not just due to lighting etc. it's weird.
Who give a hoot wat she's wearing. At least her buttcrack or Victorias secret thong isn't showing.......
The big question is why s that kid still on a bottle?? Weird.
She's drinking the Kool Aid.
Jeez - what does a gal have to do to catch a break? She's a working mom with a little kid in tow most places she goes, not foisted off on a nanny as so many celebrities do.
I love them and want to know how to buy me some!
I love the baggy jean and want a pair for myself; although we could do without the roll
I absolutely love this look!! I love her for not following trends. Oddly, she's making them...
One more stove pipe jean and I will intentionally fall on a sword.
Keep it up Katie.
It's not a new trend, I remember pegging my jeans in the late eighties and early nineties! This is not something that should be revisited!
Proof positive...she could wear a paper bag and still look PHENOMENAL. Lay off her...she is elegant and stunning in EVERYTHING she wears. The jeans are fantastic and so is she.
Katie Holmes is gorgeous and rehearsal appropriate in these sartorially ahead pants. And is a Scientology a bad religion if it gets a celebrity mom to care for and spend time with her kids? Right, proper parenting is SUCH a cult.
