Katie Holmes was one of the famous faces we spotted amongst the crowds at the US Open last week, and she absolutely aced it when it came to her spectator style as she took her seat in the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York.
Giving us some autumn outfit ideas, she showed us how to take a slinky slip dress into the new season. Katie teamed this white grid print midi dress by Silk Laundry with an oversized leather jacket, adding her favorite Schutz ballet flats, a pair of A.P.C. sunglasses and the star of the show, a brand new Marni bag.
Her lime green handbag is, in fact, so new that it hasn’t even landed online yet. It’s the ‘Tulipea’ bag by Marni, which takes inspiration from tulips and is due to be available this month. It will tick plenty of the handbag trends 2025 off your list, and as Katie proves, the pop of lime green is perfect for adding a bit of interest to an otherwise black and white outfit. Move over, tan and black leather bags!

Shop Katie’s look
Oryany
Selena Leather Bucket Bag
This is a really similar shape to Katie’s, and I love the printed canvas lining. There’s a top handle or a long strap that can be worn on the shoulder or as a crossbody style.
Jacquemus
Bisou Perle Leather Shoulder Bags
If you’re keen to copy Katie by adding a pop of color to your bag collection, this Jacquemus option will not disappoint, especially now that it’s half price.
Dune
Dinkydeliberate Mini Faux-Suede Shoulder Bag
Dune is a brand that Katie herself loves, and this textured masterpiece is a mini version of a roomy tote she was photographed carrying last year. If you’re on the fence about lime green, just incorporating it into your look as a bag means you don’t have to worry about whether it’s a color that suits you or not.
Levi’s
Women’s Essential Faux Leather Moto Jacket
Fall is for trench coats and leather jackets, if you ask me, and don’t make the mistake of thinking Levi’s just does denim. Wear this one open and just draped around your shoulders to channel Katie’s laidback look.
ME+EM
Floral Jacquard Midi Dress
Jacquard Stretch Jersey
A cream midi dress is a great transitional piece for this time of year. The fit and flare shape of this one is really flattering, but if it’s a bit more than you were hoping to spend, check out the latest pieces to be reduced in the ME+EM sale.
Ray-Ban
RB2198 Bill square acetate aviator sunglasses
Ray-Bans are the ultimate brand if you’re looking for the best sunglasses, but you don’t just have to stick to Wayfarers or Clubmasters. This is an underrated design, and the tortoiseshell finish is so chic.
Katie certainly knows a thing or two about handbags. She recently reignited our love for the iconic Chloe Paddington bag from the Noughties, and she’s also got styles ranging from Dune to DeMellier in her collection. So you can bet your bottom dollar that a bag Katie is championing so early on in the season will be huge. Watch this space…
