Katie Holmes is the ultimate style guru for understated sophistication—often mixing timeless, wearable pieces with elevated, designer staples. And her recent off-duty look combined laid-back denim with one of our favourite designer bags—the DeMellier Midi New York.
Whilst on the hunt for the best designer lookalikes, finding a DeMellier Midi New York lookalike was one of my top priorities; it’s minimalist, luxurious, and immediately ties every outfit together. Deemed as one of the best British brands, DeMellier is a firm favourite amongst countless A-listers, from Kate Middleton to Beyonce, and their New York bag is reigning in the fashion world this season, and we know exactly why.
Opting for the mocha suede variation of the trending New York bag, she combines it with the chicest grey blazer, laid-back black denim jeans, a crisp white shirt, and white Autry trainers. A simple yet effective combination however one that really works.
Sticking to a neutral palette, combined with classic tailored pieces like a blazer, and adding a structured bag, creates an undeniably stylish outfit—a perfect outfit formula to recreate with existing staples in your spring capsule wardrobe.
