Looking stylish doesn't mean you have to compromise on comfort - something Katie Holmes proved with a chic red jumpsuit.

The actress has a talent for making the most basic of items look effortlessly stylish. And while her wardrobe over the years has proved she's a big fan of neutrals and denim, this outfit shows she also knows how to work with bold colours too.

Wearing a deep red jumpsuit last summer, Katie looked cool and comfortable. The one-piece featured a shirt-style bodice, fitted waist and wide-leg silhouette that easily makes it one of the most flattering jumpsuits we've seen recently. The relaxed fit, collar detail and fun checked print oozes style.

woman&home's Fashion Ecommerce Editor Caroline Parr tells me: "Finding the perfect jumpsuit is a game changer, especially in the warmer months. Trust me when I say you'll be reaching for this Boden linen all-in-one over and over again this summer! It's so easy to throw on and go, yet still look perfectly put together."

Katie opted for a practical pair of black leather ballet flats to finish off her look. The casual shoe style has become a staple for her, with the versatile footwear adding an elevated feel to the casual look.

While you might be tempted to carry a black leather handbag with this outfit to tie in the ballet flats, Katie's choice of an oversized brown leather bag added texture to the style and contrasted beautifully with the deep red tones of her outfit.

Katie's jumpsuit is a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier piece from the 1995 spring/summer collection, which I'm sure we'd all love to get our hands on. But, worry not, as there is a whole variety of red one-piece styles on the market to help you get her look on a budget.

In keeping with the casual style, Katie accessorised with a simple necklace and a pair of oversized sunglasses, the frame of which complemented her red jumpsuit nicely. Her hair and makeup followed suit with the relaxed look.
