Katie Holmes Bundles Up in a Beige Trench and Cable Knit with a Birkin Bag Dupe

Katie Holmes got caught in the rain on her way to work on Thursday, Nov. 21. The star arrived at Ethel Barrymore Theatre in New York City looking a bit damp but undaunted by the downpour ahead of her nightly turn as Mrs. Webb in the Broadway revival of Our Town.

Luckily, she wasn't completely without cover from the nasty weather. A true connoisseur of statement outerwear, the Dawson's Creek star bundled up in the season's top coat trend: a long beige trench that nearly fell to her ankles. Marie Claire's carefully curated list of the best trench coats includes heritage styles from Barbour and J.Crew and more contemporary interpretations of the silhouette from Tibi and The Frankie Shop, a brand Holmes has been sporting for years. Perhaps the closest match for the color and shape of her chosen trench, though, is an affordable water-repellant option from Mango. Still, it might be wise for Holmes to pick up a functional waterproof trench from the likes of Rains or Stutterheim should she need to brave the rain again this season.

The duster jacket's length perfectly matched that of her cropped barrel jeans from Nili Lotan. The actor cinched her cropped jeans with a black leather belt before slipping on a pair of stylishly worn-in black ankle boots. Her best accessory, though, was her beige Birkin look-alike: a Manu Atelier bag first she was first spotted carrying on Wednesday, Nov. 20. The exact taupe nubuck colorway she's carrying is sold-out, but tan and sand-colored calfskin versions are still available. Plus, this top-handle style just so happens to fit a 13-inch Macbook.

Hanna Lustig is a staff writer at Marie Claire, where she gets to gab every day about the topics she holds most dear: fashion, beauty, and celebrity. Hanna’s editorial journey began with formative internships at Elle and InStyle, where she was lucky enough to work for some of the smartest women in media while she was still in college at the University of Tennessee. Hanna then accepted a digital culture reporting fellowship at Insider, where she helped carve out a new beat dedicated to covering influencers. Those experiences later served her well as a staff writer at Glamour, where she developed a knack for spinning quick turnaround celebrity news and trend reporting into juicy feature stories. Some of her greatest hits include an earnest ode to the no-pants trend, this meticulously reported feature exploring the rise of endoscopic facelifts, this snappy take on the Chanel-designed fantasy of Sofia Richie’s wedding, this tribute to WAGs past and present, and this timeline of Katie Holmes’s life and career as told through her denim collection.

Diane Keaton once hung up on Hanna during an interview, but thankfully that mishap did not derail what has otherwise been a deeply fulfilling career writing for and about women. As one of Marie Claire's resident experts on style and culture, her current coverage ranges from exploring TikTok's contrast makeup theory and the return of the boat shoe trend to interviews with costume designers for hit shows like Nobody Wants This and The Penguin. When she’s not at work, Hanna can probably be found listening to pop music, talking to her dog, and gossiping with her best friends.
