The ever-poised, effortlessly stylish Katie Holmes is InStyle’s August cover girl! The Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark star (her new flick opens August 26th) gave InStyle a rare glimpse into her private world for the issue. She opens up about her style fears: “I’m not afraid to try a new designer or do something trendy, but it has to look right on my body. You don’t want to look like a fashion victim!” She confesses her splurge-worthy item: “Nice undies. They make you feel special when you put them on in the morning.” And she provides insight on her sweet home life with husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri. I do not dress her. She dresses herself! Obviously, I buy her clothes, but she is the one who puts her outfits together. In fact, she helps me. If she likes something of mine, I know it’s good.” For more of our exclusive interview with Holmes, pick up the new August issue of InStyle, on newsstands Friday.

She looks amazing in these pictures. I especially love the watch she is wearing. Is there a way I can find out what style it is or where I can get one?

-Jeannie on July 13th, 2011

I’d love to know which lipstick she is wearing in the spread! It’s gorgeous!

-Anne on July 18th, 2011

Hi Jeannie: Thanks for your question! The watch is by Movado. The style is a vintage diamond and 18kt gold watch with a satin strap. — Sharon from InStyle

I too would love to know what lipstick Katie Holmes is wearing throughout her spread.

Thank You.

Katie Holmes looks amazing on the August 2011 cover of InStyle and in all of her photo shots with her trademark smile. I did notice little threads at the left armpit of a lovely dress, and for some reason the sleeves did not look flattering. Just thought you might want to know, even if it is after the shoot.

Katie Holmes looks beautiful on the cover of the magazine however the dress she is wearing looks cheap and poorly made…

How about this nail-shaped ring from the cover picture, any idea where this one comes from?

-Maeddine Touak on October 27th, 2011

There was a really cute urethane rain jacket in the August 2011 issue and I lost the web address ….the issue has already been recycled. It was a rose or peach colored translucent rain jacket that was adjustable at the waist, hips and hood. Would you be so kind to provide the info? Thanks.

-Melinda on October 29th, 2011

Can not find the Just Cavalli leopard and black lace up booties in the animal prints section. I NEED them !
