The 2023 Cannes Film Festival is well underway in Cannes, France, and the red carpet has already delivered plenty of spellbinding style moments. Elle Fanning, Viola Davis, and Gemma Chan have all touched down for the affair.
Another star who’s in town? Katie Holmes, who attended Kering’s Women in Motion Talk event on Wednesday, May 16. The event was more casual than the megawatt red-carpet premieres the festival is known for, but the actor still provided plenty of outfit inspiration with her casual-cool ensemble. Holmes sported a lime green T-shirt with a breezy yellow button-up and palazzo pants to match. But it was her choice of shoes that are the real focal point.
Katie Holmes opted out of the traditional Cannes sky-high heels in favor of Le Monde Beryl’s blue satin knotted kitten heel mules, which retail for $515 USD. They feature a 35mm heel—barely there. While the stylish star has worn towering heels before (like when she repeatedly wore Bottega Veneta’s padded heels), Holmes has proven to be a fan of more grounded footwear styles: She’s worn block-heel Mary Janes, Chloé clogs, and Acne Studios loafers, among others. She’s a New Yorker, after all. Her shoe wardrobe is built around practicality for walking around the city. It goes to show that you don’t need skyscraper stilettos to look dressy. Team Kitten Heel!
