Katie Holmes has a talent for making laid-back pieces look quietly elevated and her latest outfit on the set of Happy Hours is a reminder of just how effortless summer outfits can be. Filming alongside Joshua Jackson in New York’s Washington Square Park, she wore Dôen’s Poppy Traveller top, a relaxed vest with subtle lace and a v-neckline.
The styling was classic Holmes: unfussy and grounded. She paired the soft poppy blouse with relaxed jeans, ballet flats (very much back in fashion), and a well-worn Chloé Paddington bag the early 2000s It bag that’s having a nostalgic second life.
Dôen isn’t a flashy label. But it’s one that consistently pops up in well-dressed celebrity wardrobes. Taylor Swift was photographed wearing the exact same top back in May while out with Travis Kelce, pairing it with the matching skirt. Holmes’ version feels more thrown-on less curated, more lived-in.
The brand has long been favoured by the kind of women who know what they like - from Selena Gomez to Kaia Gerber - and it’s easy to see the appeal. Dôen blends vintage shapes with an easy femininity that feels soft, not saccharine.
Recently film sets have been a style-watching zone (just look at The Devil Wears Prada 2), and Holmes is giving us off-duty inspiration in real time too. Her take on the Dôen blouse isn’t trying too hard. It doesn’t need to. It’s the kind of piece that works with whatever you’ve already got - jeans, flats, an old bag and still manages to feel pulled together.
Sometimes that’s all you need: one really good blouse.
