From when we first saw her in Dawson's Creek, Katie Holmes has blossomed from girl-next-door teen queen into one of Hollywood’s most famous women. Since her divorce from Tom Cruise, Katie has got a new look, replacing her former conservative and uber polished style with a more youthful mix of flirty dresses, on-trend denim and fashion-forward Isabel Marant separates ideal for spending time with cute daughter Suri. Her sleek sharp bob has gone and Katie’s trademark long waves are here to stay – perfect for complementing the refreshed look.

See how this elegant A-lister's style has evolved…
