The actress stirred speculation with a new photo she shared on Instagram prompting some netizens to wonder whether she might be expecting.

On March 23, Katie Holmes took to Instagram to share snapshots from an event in New York. In one of the photos, the 45-year-old actress wowed in a viscose jacquard dress from Tory Burch’s Fall 2025 runway collection, featuring the brand’s new Bambi print.

The

piece

included a ruched waist detail that hugged her midsection, quickly catching fans’ attention. Styled by Brie Welch, the dress was paired with brown stockings, Burch slingback heels, and a pink suede Savette handbag.

“Why does she look pregnant??”

As more people openly questioned whether Holmes might be pregnant, others were curious about the possibility and who the father could be.

This is not the first time the actress’s appearance has caused a stir online.

In November 2024, the actress stepped out for a casual stroll in Brooklyn and sported a unique ensemble. While

Holmes’ look

blended luxury with versatility, some netizens think the star looked “homeless.”

The limited edition

bomber jacket

, priced at $1,545, effortlessly elevates practical outdoor wear into a fashion statement.

While it is water-repellant, it can also be reversed to reveal a quilted side. Embracing the trend, Holmes sported an eye-catching multi-colored jacket from Marfa Stance.

Underneath the jacket, the “Dawson’s Creek” star rocked a white cozy-looking sweater that features an exaggerated polo-neck.

Holmes paired her bomber with wide-legged gray jeans, which showcased a “raw hem” and donned “stalwart Acne Studios square-toe loafers.” The actress also carried a tan-colored “Khaite tote” bag, which perfectly complemented her “earthy” jacket.

She accessorized with big dark sunglasses and left her locks loose. A

of the star that was posted on Instagram and TikTok showed her walking along the pavement with one hand in her pocket.

“Katie Holmes ❤️❤️ as always, looked very beautiful while out for a walk, showcasing her style,”

Months before she was seen out in New York donning an avant-garde ensemble, the “First Daughter” actress collaborated on a

fashion line

with Parisian brand A.P.C. — a brand that she has been a loyal customer of since the nineties.

The star and A.P.C. worked together to craft a dozen signature pieces of clothing inspired by feminine qualities, and a line of refined accessories.

To create the pieces, Holmes

immersed herself

in the fashion house’s archives and “[stepped] into the memories of A.P.C. garments of the past, bringing inspiration from collections from the early 2000s and working to make them modern and relevant to the 2024 customer.”

Designed as a “series of complete silhouettes,” pieces from the collection can be mixed and matched with one another.

The brand dubbed a pastel-colored quilt (one of the pieces from the collection) as a standout garment that was inspired by a prototype that the actress’ mom made. This piece is also a limited edition, with only 100 copies in existence.

When

the collection

, “Interaction #24 A.P.C. Katie Holmes,” was launched, Holmes and A.P.C. hosted an event at the fashion brand’s outlet in Mercer, New York on June 5.

Together with A.P.C.’s Artistic Director Judith Touitou, Holmes participated in a Q&A session at the event that was moderated by Gabe Tesoriero.

Holmes and Touitou discussed the creative inspirations and personal styles that gave rise to the collection and shared how their backgrounds and experiences influenced the design process.

“[Katie’s] choices were always very clear; she had these very smart and thoughtful ideas about what a woman today should wear to feel confident and beautiful but still be herself,”

divulged

Touitou during the session.

The “Logan Lucky” talent explained how she approached the designing phase with “the idea of creating a complete wardrobe,” adding that the collection has items for both day and night wear.

When asked how she would describe the unique twist she brought to the collection using one word, Holmes

shared

, “I would say tradition. We’ve incorporated quilting into some of our pieces and created quilts that accompany the collection.”

She

continued

, “To me, patchwork represents history and memories, a thread of generations living within each of us. It’s about vintage inspiring the modern, honoring our past, and embracing tradition.”

Other topics that were discussed during the Q&A included the learning experience

Katie Holmes

acquired through the process.

“Working with Jean and Judith Touitou […] I learned so much from their artistic perspectives on shape, form, and color. This collaboration has been a joyous reminder that working together with kindness can produce beautiful and authentic creations,”

disclosed

Holmes.
