Fashion’s new favorite tastemaker Katie Holmes has officially left the dress-over-pants conversation in favor of a new topic of discussion: trousers with wide legs.
The actress donned two outfits in New York City on Wednesday while promoting her upcoming off-Broadway play, “The Wanderers.” Although each look was distinct, they had one very important thing in common: a pair of high-waisted, billowy pants.

Arriving at the “Good Morning America” studios, Holmes wore a white button-up underneath Hesitate leather blazer jacket paired with a seafoam-colored velvet clutch by Sawette. The star of the show, however, was Holmes’ golden wide-leg trousers, reminiscent of a glass of champagne for both their hue and exaggerated, bubbly nature.
Then Holmes surprised us all by showing off another wide-legged look as she left the studio.

The star went with a similar silhouette, but swapped out the blouse and pants for a different color palette. The second look hinged on one Chanel Striped Midnight Blue Neoprene Top (sourced from Club Vintage) and a pair of linen trousers in a chocolate brown shade.
To finish off both looks, Holmes wore pointed metallic silver pumps.

The dedication to the wide leg movement, a choice made by Holmes’ stylist Brie Welchis one step away from the seemingly imminent resurgence of skinny pants, thanks to collections from Celine, Saint Laurent and more.
In addition to cementing the flared pant as a staple that won’t be leaving our wardrobe anytime soon (despite Hedi Slimaneit is best effort), Holmes also continues to solidify himself as a tastefully modern trendsetter.
