Katie Holmes Debuts Subtle, Yet Striking Hair Transformation

Katie Holmes has officially switched up her signature style.

The Dawson's Creek alum recently debuted a summer-ready hair transformation and proved that you need to make a dramatic change for it to feel fresh and new.

While attending Chanel's Tribeca Film Festival Artists dinner on June 10, Katie showcased her rich caramel balayage highlights that were blended throughout her brunette tresses. This subtle, yet striking update created dimension and texture to the star's look.

And while the mane focus was on the 45-year-old's new 'do, there's no denying she stepped out in chic style.

For the event, Katie wore a black slip dress layered underneath a matching sparkly lace overcoat that featured diamond-embellished buttons. She accessorized with black sandal heels and a coordinating quilted clutch. Of course, her entire look was Chanel.

While Katie didn't share insight into her hair transformation, she recently discussed how her style changed after welcoming daughter Suri Cruise, 18, with ex-husband Tom Cruise.

"When my child was really small, I was drawn to wearing a lot of dresses," she told U.K. newspaper The Times earlier this month. "You do go through these different phases of motherhood and they inform what you feel comfortable in and what you don't. So over the years my style has changed here and there."

These days, the Batman Begins star is drawn to vintage clothing. "Living in New York City, I have to have things that are practical and comfortable," she explained. "Usually I'm in ballet flats, sneakers, baggy jeans and a T-shirt."

And although Katie noted that Suri "has her own sense of style and her own expressions," her closet staples tend to go missing.

"Sometimes the basics definitely disappear," Katie added. "But that's fine."

Of course, Katie isn't the only star to switch up her style. Keep reading to see which celebrities have debuted summer-ready hairstyles.
