Katie Holmes just perfected the art of styling a satin skirt - here's how to recreate this effortlessly chic look
This is how to make a satin skirt work for any occasion.


Katie Holmes offers a masterclass in how to style a satin midi-skirt, and we want in on this elegant combination. Spotted at the Christian Siriano New York Fashion Week show, she styles hers to perfection.
Pairing a light, shimmery satin midi skirt with a hip-height black blazer, a crisp white t-shirt, and sleek patent boots, Holmes makes a strong case for adding a satin skirt to your current style rotation. Her exact outfit is from Christian Siriano, an iconic American clothing brand that is a firm favourite amongst many A-listers, including Sarah Jessica Parker and Alexa Chung.
She finishes off the look with large sculptural earrings in silver, which adds a touch of drama to this otherwise refined outfit. Holding true to her signature style, this outfit feels both minimal yet extremely chic, something you would expect from the actress who's often spotted in elevated easy-to-wear pieces.
