On October 28, Katie Holmes made a dramatic red carpet entrance at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards with a color-block gown. The actor, who has been serving a lesson in street style, is not shying away from showcasing her glamorous avatar on one of fashion’s biggest nights. She grabbed significant attention for reviving the color block trend, wearing a gown that combined the offbeat red and pink color combination. According to Vogue, this trend dominated the 2010s and appeared in the 2011 collections of designers like Gucci.

Meanwhile, Katie Holmes wore a long-sleeved Carolina Herrera gown, designed by Wes Gordon, the label’s creative director. She even accompanied the latter to the fashion event’s red carpet, looking stunning in the dual-toned gown. The outfit featured a sharp design, structured in two pieces. The bubblegum pink top boasted a high neckline and full sleeves. The bright red skirt joined the top’s mid-section and flowed into a plunging V-line at the back.

This masterful tailoring allowed the gown to feature two side cutouts that paved the way for an alluring back design. Katie Holmes brought drama in equal parts with the gown’s front and back. The outfit was backless enough to showcase the actor’s toned physique. This featured a dramatic long black bow to the top’s back. The pencil skirt also had a little slit at the back, allowing her to display her matching red pointed toe heels.

According to WWD, Katie Holmes accessorized her outfit with Irene Neuwirth’s drop earrings that featured six gemstones in various hues of red. She also chose Carolina Herrera’s black patent rectangular clutch to complete her outfit.
