Katie Holmes Defeats NYC Humidity by Wearing Nightie as Armor Against the Sun

Listen, we all know New York in July feels like walking through a stranger’s warm breath, but Katie Holmes has officially checked out of the 'wearing actual clothes' club. Our girl was spotted gliding through Manhattan looking like she just woke up from a nap in 1996 and forgot to put on her jeans. It’s a slip dress, people! It’s basically two spaghetti straps and a prayer, and honestly? We are obsessed with the audacity. She paired this 'I just escaped a burning department store' look with Mary Janes, because apparently, if you’re going to dress like you’re ready for bed, you might as well also dress like you’re ready for the second grade. It’s a bold fashion pivot from her usual 'cool mom' aesthetic to 'glamorous ghost haunting a luxury loft.' Sources say the outfit was so sleek it actually decreased her wind resistance, allowing her to outrun paparazzi and joggers alike. While the rest of us are out here sweating through our heavy denim like absolute chumps, Katie is living in a silk-lined breeze. If she starts carrying a pillow around tomorrow, don't say we didn't warn you—she's one step away from making the full duvet-and-slippers combo the next big trend on Fifth Avenue.
