The actress turns 34 today, and we’re taking a look back at how she’s grown up over the years.

Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl’s DesigNation lands in stores in a few weeks, and we can hardly wait! Neither can the Cuban-American designer’s loyal celebrity fans, including Julianna Margulies, Katie Holmes, and Emma Roberts, who all celebrated his new lineup in New York last night. “I love that he loves women,” Margulies told InStyle.com of why she’s a Narciso follower (he even made her wedding dress!), while wearing the $64 two-tone dress from the collection. “He respects us and he cuts dresses to looks best on a woman’s body. He loves a curve. And this dress? It’s just not going to go out of style.” Rodriguez is thrilled that his pals took to his creations, like Emma Roberts, who wore the collection’s $60 V-neck design. “When you see women who have such great style that look so beautiful, it makes me very proud,” he told us. “I approached designing this collection the same way I would approach my own collection. I love beautiful things, and there wasn’t any holding back on style or design. My objective was to create a beautiful collection.” Click through the gallery to preview the entire Narciso Rodriquez for Kohl’s DesigNation—which was inspired by his recent trip to Istanbul and is full of the clean lines and architectural inspirations he’s known for—and shop it when it lands in Kohl’s stores and kohls.com starting November 7th.

Katie Holmes Wants You To Look Skinny and Hot

Sep 12, 2012 @ 4:42 pm

While Katie Holmes the actress, is busy prepping for her latest Broadway production, Katie Holmes the designer is all about you. “We as women spend a lot of money on clothes, they better make us look skinny and hot,” Holmes told InStyle.com at the Holmes & Yang presentation this morning at New York Fashion Week. Her partner Jeanne Yang reinforces the importance of looking amazing—and also looking yourself. “You can be that girl that throws on a tough leather jacket,” she says. “But you can still be really girly.” And a tough leather jacket is actually Holmes’s most-coveted piece from the collection. “The quilted leather jacket [is my favorite]. What I love about it is that it’s masculine and feminine. I would wear it with jeans and a t-shirt, but I’d also put it with a little black cocktail dress, and shorts for the weekend.” And a wide range of ladies consider themselves Holmes & Yang women. “A couple of seasons ago, we had a girl buy our maxi dress for her prom,” Holmes tells us. “Then the same dress was sold to a woman in her sixties who was going on vacation. It was really nice to see that happen.”

Katie Holmes Continues To Nab Modeling Gigs. Up Next? Bobbi Brown

Sep 7, 2012 @ 10:45 am

When you think “natural beauty,” a few actresses come to mind–Katie Holmes included. She was at the top of the list for Bobbi Brown: the company has named Holmes the new face of the brand. The star is the very first celebrity ambassador, and between her understated, elegant beauty looks and Brown’s timeless palettes, we’d call it a perfect match! Holmes’s ad campaign will be unveiled next spring, and she will also appear on the in-store visuals for the products. ”This is my first foray into beauty products,” the actress told WWD. “I think it’s amazing that Bobbi found a hole in the marketplace and said ‘I’m going to do something about it. I’m going to create a line for real women who want to look pretty and have it easy.‘” The actress has previously starred in campaigns for LOFT and H.Stern jewelry. If she wasn’t busy enough taking on the role as Bobbi Brown’s leading lady and showing her Holmes & Yang collection at New York Fashion Week in the next few days, she also plans to launch a capsule collection of color cosmetics for the brand in fall 2013. We can’t wait!
