First Look: Katie Holmes For Miu Miu
Victoria Beckham isn’t the only A-list celebrity fashionista making headlines today with the release of a new ad campaign, Katie Holmes (Vicki B’s supposed American BFF) is also trying to steal some of the spotlight today with the release of the first photo from her new ad campaign for Miu Miu. As you may recall, we learned back in November that Katie would be appearing in the Spring/Summer ‘09 campaign for the fashion house and today we get our first look at that campaign:
This morning, Miu Miu unveiled its eagerly-anticipated spring/summer 2009 campaign starring Katie Holmes looking positively feline in one of Miuccia Prada’s graffiti-spattered day dresses. Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in New York last November, we’re told the idea was for Holmes to depict a “luminous icon radiating a sense of mystery and theatricality” in the images, which were inspired by the films of Fellini. Coincidentally, Holmes’ close friend Victoria Beckham is also stealing the limelight today with her first ads for Emporio Armani’s underwear line (the men’s version of which Beckham’s husband David famously provides the face – and body). Mert & Marcus are behind these too; reclining in a hotel suite in the black-and-white photographs, Beckham – who Armani lauds as a “stylish and intriguing woman” – models the label’s spring/summer 2009 collection, which comes in a sweet palette of periwinkle blue, green and pink.
It is coincidental that both ad campaigns have been released on the same day, isn’t it? I’m sure there is no rivalry at all between the ladies and the releases were not intentionally planned to clash on the same day. Katie has got a serious case of fierce face going on in this photo … she even looks a helluva lot like Posh does, don’t you think?
Same hair, same make-up. HMMM. The dress that she is modeling is pretty amazing, it’s a stunning piece of fashion … but I still have a hard time taking Katie Holmes as a serious fashion plate. Her fame has just skyrocketed to astronomical proportions since she got involved with Tom Cruise, I just cannot believe that she would be enjoying such levels of attention if she had never hooked up with Tom. Honestly, tho, she’s put in a lot of work with him and I feel is deserving of this new plateau of fame … she earned it. In any event, I suspect that we’ll be seeing the rest of Katie’s Miu Miu campaign photos when MiuMiu.com gets updated (currently, last season’s campaign photos featuring Vanessa Paradis is still on display on the site). What do y’all think of this photo … does Katie have the chops to be a serious fashionista?

I think she looks silly – like a little girl trying toooo hard!

Maybe this is why she has been looking so thin and drawn lately, trying to get down to “model” weight.

OMG switching their faces is the funniest thing I have seen all day! Thanks Trent for cracking me up while I should be working lol

She looks silly!

She looks like Sigourny Weaver (sp) in Ghostbusters with her eyes like that….
January 14th, 2009 at 9:18 am
YES! I Love that you switched their heads like that to show how obvious it was. Wiierd!!
January 14th, 2009 at 9:18 am
I think she looks more fierce than Posh. I love it!
January 14th, 2009 at 9:26 am

I miss the old katie holmes. The beautiful one. She looks like total shit these days.

Katie is too cute to ever pull off sexy which is why the picture isn’t working for her. You have work with your strengths or you end up looking foolish or like your trying to hard.

it looks like her head was photoshopped onto posh’s body. her head looks too disproportionate to the body. she does have a super ‘fierce’ look on her face tho. hilarious! ha! well what can ya say when she joined the cruise clan she was linked with posh to ‘learn’ the ‘ins and outs’; a ‘rolemodel’ persay. she learned well….
January 14th, 2009 at 11:23 am
No. I am just not remotely intrigued by her. It’s too bad too because she has a natural sexiness that she is totally smothering by trying to come across as something that she’s not. I mean, “icon”? Oh well. I blame the casting people/stylists, not her. She’s just trying to do her job.
January 14th, 2009 at 11:54 am
Poor Kqtie. I think she is “playing” at everything in her life. Playing house, playing models, playing movie star/theatre actress. I have to agree Trent, if she wasn ‘t married to Tom, she wouldn’t be garnering this level of attention. She’d just be another ex-teen-soapie star.
January 14th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
I agree with debho. Once she got with Tom, she got a stylist, a haircut and poof – suddenly she’s supposedly a fashion icon. Whatever. To me she’s still Joey Potter.
