Style: Katie Holmes Is Looking Forward to the Return of This Quintessential Spring Trend

Celebrities Are Obsessed With the Blue Color Trend—Here’s How to Style It

You’re not the only one dreaming of brighter days.Within just the past few weeks, the color has been everywhere. Tracee Ellis Ross wore an azure dress and a matching bag to Bottega Veneta’s Milan Fashion Week show. Bella Hadid topped an all-black outfit with an electric blue jacket on the streets of Milan. At Paris Fashion Week, Olivia Culpo had a main character moment in an aqua babydoll dress. Kate Middleton, Kelly Rowland, TikTok star Tinx, and style influencer Grece Ghanem have also all embraced the joyful hue.

While at the Kate Spade fall presentation, Katie Holmes told me a bunch of things. For one, she always carries a light cardigan in her purse, and you can find me doing the same for the next couple of months (especially since big bags are trending again). But more importantly, while in a room filled with models and fashion editors wearing bright Kate Spade dresses, eating croissants, and sipping Balthazar cappuccinos, Holmes said how it made her so excited for the rest of the year. Namely, the return of social gatherings like brunches and dinner parties — and finally having a reason to get dressed up again.

The One Sure Sign You Have COVID, Says Dr. Fauci

Just as cases are dropping across the U.S. and restrictions are being lifted, experts are warning of a new surge thanks to the Omicron BA.2.

While some of us may have purchased new spring dresses covered in bold colors and prints in mid-2020, it was most likely for a serotonin boost — it's no secret we all needed it — rather than a packed social calendar. Now that things are (sort of) looking up and temperatures are rising, dresses are about to have a major moment, which is a pretty big deal considering how many people have all but sworn off hard pants for the last couple of years.  And it can't hurt to have something to look forward to.

Of course, Holmes was fawning over Kate Spade's Fall collection, which was filled with the bright colors and patterns that have become the brand's signature look. On the Kate Spade site, there are  plenty of options to shop right now, like the aptly named Spring Flight lawn dress and this smocked waist dress covered in a floral medley of eye candy. And while they're both moderately priced at under $400, fun spring dresses are available at all price points.

Topshop has a unique ruched midi for $74, Reformation has a great afternoon floral sundress ideal for a picnic, and Free People — a brand practically famous for its spring dresses — has a dreamy sleeveless maxi you could easily wear to a spring wedding (with a Holmes-approved cardi on top). For some more formal options, TikTok-loved designer Kika Vargas has babydoll options on sale at Nordstrom right now, and there's always Ulla Johnson, who recently made the gown Selena Gomez wore to a Rare beauty event.

Taking part in spring's most joyful trend has never been easier: Grab a few friends, a bottle of orange wine, and a cheese board, and throw on your favorite floral frock. It's what Katie Holmes wants, and we're more than happy to give it to her.
