Katie Holmes, 46, Attends the 2025 US Open Tennis Championship, Causing a Stir with Her Outfit – Photos

The former "Dawson's Creek" star turned heads for all the wrong reasons when she appeared in what many compared to bedroom attire, seemingly straight from the sheets to the stadium.

Katie Holmes stepped out at the US Open in New York on Friday, August 29, to take in the nail-biting face-off between Novak Djokovic and Cameron Norrie. But while the players battled it out on court, it was Holmes' startling fashion choice that sparked an online frenzy.

Holmes' Sleepy Slip-Dress Steals the Spotlight

For the outing the actress sported a gray-and-white grid print slip dress that clung like silk pajamas, layered with an oversized black leather biker jacket that barely stayed on her shoulders.

Adding a pop of color, she carried a lime-green bag in a shade reminiscent of a tennis ball. The actress completed her ensemble with brown sunglasses and simple ballet flats.

Holmes's fashion choice didn't go unnoticed, and fans had plenty to say about it. One observer couldn't resist pointing out, "In her nightgown! Lovely." Another person was less impressed, remarking, "Looks like she just rolled out of bed🙄!"

Someone else gave a more detailed description, writing, "Wearing a silk night gown and leather jacket." Others also didn't appreciated the look, with one calling it simply, "So sloppy and messy."

The styling of her outerwear drew laughter from another fan who said, "The jacket placement🤣 So uncomfortable and unnatural." Another person wondered, "Whats [sic] with the off the shoulder sagging jacket."

Another onlooker painted the outfit vividly, sharing, "Yikes. She wore her nightgown and thru [sic] on a black rubber coat and couldn't get it up over her shoulder." Lastly, someone summed it up with a sharp observation, "Katie looks awkward, trying to show off a shoulder in a very uncomfortable-looking way🤦‍♀️."

Whether it was a high-concept look gone wrong or just a fashion faux pas, Katie Holmes' courtside ensemble left fans more stressed than the match itself.

Before her US Open fashion flop, Holmes caused a stir by seemingly liking a Daily Mail Instagram post featuring her ex-husband Tom Cruise and actress Ana de Armas, who were spotted together in a cozy-looking photo set. Cruise wore a black polo, while de Armas sported sunglasses and a white top — holding a tiny white dog.

Fans didn't miss a thing. Screenshots began spreading like wildfire, showing Holmes' verified account listed in the likes section — blue checkmark, profile photo, and all.

Although Holmes and Cruise divorced over a decade ago, public fascination with their past has not waned. Some speculated that she accidentally liked the post, while others suggested it was deliberate.

Social media users responded with a mix of humor, curiosity, and support. One commenter offered a neutral take, writing, "Whether Katy [sic] likes it or not, it's his choice and his life. Good luck to everyone! 👏👏👏👏"

Others remarked on a supposed resemblance between Holmes and de Armas. One Instagrammer observed, "They kind of look alike," while another added, "Their expressions even kind of look alike!"

Some fans came to Holmes' defense. One person commented, "As if Katy cares for an ex who doesn't see his only biological child. She left him if you forgot [sic], and that was over a decade ago!"

"Hopefully she said RUN," another netizen quipped. One supporter showed solidarity with the actress, saying, "Y'all leave Katie alone😂."

The conversation also reached Reddit, where users debated the oddness of the alleged reaction. "Like makes a ton of sense and at the same time no sense at all," one Redditor commented.

Another joked, "Lol... the girl was lurking," while a third touched on the awkwardness of the incident, saying, "Imagine accidentally liking your ex's post and it makes the Daily Mail 💀."

Both Holmes and the "Mission: Impossible" actor have maintained minimal public contact since their 2012 divorce, with their primary connection being their daughter, Suri Cruise.

The 19-year-old is now all grown up, having graduated from LaGuardia High School, she's stepping into life as a young adult.
