Katie Holmes Can't Stop Wearing the Amal Clooney-Approved Bag Trend That's Taking Over Hollywood
Welcome to Look of the Day, where we comb through every celebrity outfit from the past 24 hours and feature the single most conversation-worthy ensemble. Love it, leave it, or shop the whole thing below.
Katie Holmes dressed the part yesterday in New York, and by that we mean the part of a Y2K mom. She wore a fall outfit that felt straight out of the early 2000s: pants that look like pants (but upon further inspection appear to be yoga pants), white '90s skate sneakers that are on sale at Nordstrom, a simple knit Tory Sport turtleneck sweater, and 2015's favorite It bag, an overstuffed, oversized bucket bag, thrown over her shoulder.
Along with Amal Clooney, Holmes has been working overtime to bring back this bag trend for months. This time around she took a page straight out of Ashley Olsen's $39,000 bucket backpack book. Not with price tag, but with stuff.
Holmes packed her bag to the brim, so much so you can easily see her belongings overflowing from miles away. When Olsen was spotted with her The Row bag last year, you could see her laptop, charger still plugged in, dangling. But therein lies the appeal of the trend: It's actually practical.
For that reason, splurging on a bucket bag by Mansur Gavriel, a pioneer in the trend, or Burberry, doesn't feel so farfetched. You'll get your moneys worth, as Holmes has demonstrated by wearing bucket bags on repeat for months. There are also a couple options on sale right now at Nordstrom by Tory Burch, as well as a handful for under $100, and a very popular version for Madewell for just $168.
So next time you leave your house, get all of your stuff together, stuff it into the biggest bag you've got, and pull a Katie Holmes. Huge bags are coming back in a big way.
