Katie Holmes in Current/Elliott and Tom Cruise in Ralph Lauren
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise held hands as they headed into New York’s Magnolia Bakery. It’s rare that we see both Tom and Katie out together and I feel like it’s even rarer that they’re holding hands! The pair have been busy not only promoting their films and Katie’s miniseries, The Kennedy’s, but also preparing for Suri’s 5th birthday party. Katie shared what they have planned for the day, “Suri wants a piñata and [for] her girlfriends to come over. There will be swimming, and we’re going to make a cake together. This is my favorite day of the year, We’re going to have a tea party, and we’re going to girl it up.”
Katie wore her Current/Elliott The Skinny Jean in Loved, which she’s worn a few times before. Tom opted for his go-to brand of Ralph Lauren. You can buy Katie’s jeans from Shopbop and Tom’s at RalphLauren.com.

Steal Her Style: Patchwork Denim
Patchwork started on the runway with Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2010 and slowly made it’s way into the mass market. Celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Nicole Richie and Kristin Cavallari have all been seen wearing the trend, in a variety of different ways. One of the great things about it is that you can find a pair of jeans with all over patches and a bohemian vibe, or a few subtle patches for a more vintage look.
Textile Elizabeth and James Stevie Jean. The wider leg and contrast pockets and patches make for a trendy and bohemian jean. Celebrities like Kate Hudson and Kristin Cavallari are fans. They’re available for purchase at Bloomingdales.com for $98.00.
Jet Jeans Drip ‘N Patch Skinny jeans and Patchwork Skinny jeans ( both seen on Nicole Richie) both offer a more subtle take on the patchwork trend, the Drip ‘N Patch style only has one patch and the Patchwork Skinny has multiple same-tone patches. You can buy these jeans at Singer22.com and Boutiquetoyou.com.
