Katie Holmes has shuffled in and out of the style spotlight ever since her partnership with Tom Cruise.
However, after filing for divorce from the Mission Impossible actor last week, the actress’s style has never been in so much demand.
And it seems she’s quite aware of the media storm she’s created, ensuring she always looks polished.
On the day the divorce filing was announced, Katie was spotted in a simple navy blue blouse. However, as the days progressed she stepped up her style. White shorts and a red top, were the order of the second day, while a cute on-trend polka dot halterneck and skinny jeans made her stand out over the weekend.
A yellow summer dress teamed with a denim jacket also ensured the actress wasn’t missed on a day at her lawyers office.
Could this be the start of a new fashion era for the starlet? Only time will tell.
See the gallery below for Katie’s five days of post divorce announcement style.

Wax figures of Prince William and Kate Middleton have been unveiled at London’s Madame Tussauds and the museum in New York City.
The figures, which mark the first anniversary of the royal couple, have been styled and modelled on the pair at two separate events.
In London Kate wears the famous blue Issa dress that she wore when the couple’s engagement was announced.
“We created the engagement scene, that press call when they both looked a little bit nervous but so happy,” Louis Wiltshire, the sculptor of Kate’s head, told the Telegraph.
Over in New York the Duchess is dressed in the pale lilac Alexander McQueen gown that she wore to the BAFTA Brits to Watch event.
And if that wasn’t enough, fashion fans can also get a look at Kate’s War Horse Alice Temperley black dress in Amsterdam where another replica is displayed.
See below for all the pics.

For anyone who’s obsessively followed the fabulous lives of Serena, Blair and co in Gossip Girl should be excited to know, there’s a new outlet for your fandom! Because a clothing line inspired by the hit television show is going on sale this weekend in the States.
The new clothing range, which is being created by Romeo and Juliet Couture with a little help from Warner Bros, is apparently going to be all designs that the characters would definitely wear, including girlish chiffon dresses, playful novelty knitwear and embellished tops. With prices spanning from $80 to $200, it’s actually all very reasonable – now all we need to do is fly out to NYC, as the collection’s going on sale in swanky department stores such as Kitson and Saks Fifth Avenue.
We’ve always secretly dreamed of dressing like Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf, so this is going to be an exciting launch to see what Romeo and Juliet Couture come up with. If you want to check out the label’s current collection to get a feel for what the new Gossip Girls designs could be like, check out their new Fall 2011 Collection here.

Lady Gaga posing for Annie Leibowitz in NYC
A bit of a fashion happening yesterday on the streets of New York as two icons met for a fashion shoot: Annie Leibowitz photographing Mother Monster Lady Gaga herself.
We haven’t seen the final results of the shoot yesterday but we do have these amazing paparazzi snaps taken at the high-fashion shoot which show Gaga standing regally on the streets of New York in haute couture, coyly hiding her body with a giant black feather hat and throwing her head back to show off her couture eye-candy headwear. We have to say, it does look really fun posing for Annie Leibowitz.
You definitely know you’re a superstar when you’ve posed for Mama Leibowitz, who’s taken some of the most famous celebrity portraits in the world. A pregnant Demi Moore? Shot by Leibowitz. John Lennon curled serene naked around Yoko on the floor? Yep, shot by Leibowitz. Miley Cyrus posing coyly wearing nothing but a sheet? Yup, that was shot by Leibowitz.
We can’t wait to see the final outcome of this photoshoot. We reckon this is going to be a celebrity portrait to remember.

SJP visited the Late Show studios in NYC wearing a bold colour-blocked outfit of scarlet and pink. What a clever girl
As the Film Festivals and premières continue, we’re seeing an awful lot of sweet red-carpet and party looks.
Sarah Jessica Parker is firmly back on our style radar as we spotted her in New York City outside the studios for David Letterman’s “Late Show” – and she’s succeeded in the art-of colour blocking where Cheryl Cole had previously failed, teaming a scarlet blouse with high-waisted magenta trousers. Sound horrible? Maybe, but it really works. SJP 4eva.
At the premiere for the new film Contagion, the French actress Marion Cotillard looked dazzlingly beautiful with a braided up-do, smoky eye make-up and a floor-length sheer layered black gown. A beautiful red-carpet look.
Meanwhile, in London the legendary Italian fashion house Missoni were throwing a big party for the launch of a new pop-up store – and plenty of celebrities were out to show their love for the iconic knitwear company. Poppy Delevigne worked a bohemian, rock and roll look in a sleeveless leather jacket with a floaty blouse and denim hot-pants while the supermodel Doutzen Kroes naughtily broke the Missoni dress code in a clinging black Stella McCartney dress.
The true star of the Missoni party, however, was Elizabeth Olsen, the little sister of fashion’s favourite twins. She looked cute as a button in a Missoni-knit black shift dress with a white collar for a retro look. Is she going to overtake Ashley and Mary-Kate in the style stakes? Watch this space..
To see who we’ve been spotting, check out the gallery above.

Rose Byrne's outfit for the "Late Show with David Letterman" was so perfect, we had to do a piece on it!
We’ve had our eye on “Bridesmaids” actress Rose Byrne for a while now, but we just loved her outfit she was papped in yesterday for an appearance on the “Late Show” that we had to do a piece on it.
The whole thing is just so chic and genius – the dark jewel colours of the leopard print are a modern update of a sexy classic, but the neat shift shape of the dress show off her tiny frame and keep the look from being OTT. Because the dress is such a statement, Rose cleverly went for simple and classic accessories, matching the black leather of her skinny belt that cinches in her waist to her black patent heels.
We’re a huge fan of dainty, understated jewellery right now, so it was nice to see Rose trying out the trend with a simple and delicate gold pendant. When we were looking for pieces to replicate Rose’s look we came across an amazing Egyptian-inspired gold pendant from Asos, which you can see in the gallery above.
We’ve also found a green leopard-print dress that is similar to Rose’s – but at a high-street price. Aren’t we good to you? Check out the gallery above to see how you can steal her style.

Zoe Saldana, the Avatar actress, is a huge fan of New York and the style of it’s inhabitants.
Zoe revealed that her absolute pet peeve when it comes to fashion is women that try too hard – something that she doesn’t think is a part of NYC style.
The actress said: “I have this love affair with New York that I just can’t quit, and that applies to New Yorkers’ style too. I can’t stand when people get lost in clothes because they are trying to impress. We get that a lot in Los Angeles. You need to wear your clothes, your clothes can’t wear you. New Yorkers understand that.”
Zoe, who herself in the past has launched her own clothing line with her sisters, refuses to buy in to the culture of label-mania and would rather choose clothes that adhere to her own style sensibilities.
She said: “Five years ago my sisters and I created our own brand, called Arasmaci, but we actually produced no more than a few T-shirts and some accessories because I became overwhelmed by ‘Avatar’. For many people, including a lot of actresses, fashion is all about brand names, logos, status symbols, but for me, it’s an art form.”

A huge congratulations to our favourite American designer Michael Kors, who has just tied the knot! Ooh, we love a wedding (even if we weren’t invited or anything).
Kors and his long-term partner Lance LePere had a romantic ceremony on the beach this Tuesday in the fancy Hamptons, the favoured mini-break town for rich Manhattan holidaygoers. Michael said about the wedding: “To marry someone as wonderful and special to me as Lance barefoot on a glorious beach is more than I could have dreamed of.” Aw, it’s making us a bit soppy actually.
The couple have been dating since 1990, but have only finally been able to tie the knot since a recent law allowing same-sex marriage in New York came in. When asked about how the couple fell in love, Michael replied: “We share a certain level of taste, an American point of view, and I think we like to play with Americana. Over the years and the day-to-day process of dreaming together, things just naturally fell into place.” We have to say, that’s a very fashion response.
Congratulations, fellas! This news has made our day.

We desperately want to get a flight to New York this Christmas, because we’ve just heard that Lady Gaga is collaborating with her BFF Nicola Formichetti to design a range of limited edition gifts for Barney’s department store.
The seasonal campaign, titled “Gaga’s Workshop”, will be taking over the fifth floor men’s department in November, turning the area into Gaga’s very own bizarre Christmas wonderland.
The gifts that will be on sale include sweets, toys, candles, cosmetics and jewellery made entirely out of rock candy, as well as Gaga-curated books and CDs. Barney’s chief exec, Mark Lee, spoke out about the new collaboration: “Holiday is about joy, sharing and inclusiveness, and to me, Gaga really represents all of that. Her platform is so much about positivity, individuality and universality in a very today way.”
He continued, “There are a lot of things for fans of all ages, for kids and kids at heart. I think our existing and new customers will find fun things to share and give as gifts in a lighthearted and not so serious way.”
We actually cannot wait to see what Lady Gaga’s take on the holiday season will be. Get us to NYC in time for Christmas!

Fearne Cotton looked cool and laid-back yesterday leaving work in a simple floral shirt teamed with tight black denim and killer leather heels
Yesterday was a good day for the paparazzi, as it seems there were celebrities out in full force all over the place for swanky bashes. Well, besides Fearne Cotton – as always we spotted her on her way out of the Radio One studios where she works, looking cute and dressed-down in a slightly wrinkled floral shirt teamed up with some Mad Max-style wedges and jeans so tight they could have been sprayed on. We love Fearne for keeping it real. I know if I was aware of paparazzi photographing me all the time, I’d probably wear a ballgown every where.
Further across London, in leafy Hyde Park, a party thrown by the Serpentine Gallery had guests in attendance such as Alexa Chung, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Grayson (who we have to say, looked very pretty indeed in his party dress). Alexa Chung was on full fashion form, wearing a beautifully cut and tailored navy dress with one of her trademark puritanical white collars, with a pair of the highest black leather heels we have ever seen. Seriously, we are in awe of Alexa’s heels – full props to her for wearing those anywhere. Meanwhile, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld came to the party looking quite sexy and French in a sheer black blouse teamed with a curve-hugging black skirt. Who knows if we’ll ever see her wearing any colour, but moody dressing does suit her.
Diane Kruger looked very ooh-la-la on the arm of her current squeeze, Joshua Jackson, at a party thrown by Jaeger in Paris wearing a striking lace and brocade midnight-blue dress with a raspberry-pink clutch and simple accessories. Diane Kruger will always and forever be one of our favourite celebrity dressers.
Across the pond in New York, the scarily, horribly gorgeous Rosie Huntingdon-Whitely made an appearance at the première for Transformers: Dark Side of The Moon, in which she has a starring role. The supermodel looked statuesque in a floor-sweeping scarlet gown to match her sizeable pout. Anyone who wishes Megan Fox was still the pin-up of the Transformers franchise is probably saying “Megan who?” after yesterday. We also saw Julia Roberts outside filming for an appearance on the David Letterman show looking AMAZING in a pair of aviator sunglasses worn with a delicate white shift dress and a baggy masculine blazer that worked the hard/soft angle perfectly.
And finally, some of the silver screen’s fashion darlings were in attendance yesterday at an intimate showing of Salvatore Ferragamo’s 2012 Cruise Collection. Pretty young actress Emma Roberts (niece of Julia! I wonder if they hung out in NYC yesterday), who is rapidly becoming a hot commodity amongst stylists and designers, looked pretty with soft wavy hair and a sumptuous purple velvet wrap dress. Freida Pinto, “Slumdog Millionaire” star and a renowned fashion lover, was there looking chic in a knotted graphic-print silk halterneck with a neat white skirt and tan accessories. We love that she’s giving nods to the 70s trend right now.
Our final best-dressed celeb spotted yesterday was sultry mama Eva Mendes, who was also at the Ferragamo show in an elegant wrap dress that combined both cream and camel tones. She looked like a movie star from the 1970s.
Check out the gallery above for our best-dressed celebs spotted yesterday.

Fierce, studded and punky, Debbie's look often involved a lot of fetish-y leather. Check out those over-the-knee boots
Yesterday we went back to the 1960s to celebrate the classic style of Factory superstar and rich socialite Edie Sedgwick – but today we’re fast-forwarding to 1979 in New York, where girl power was having it’s first proper punk moment. Heading up a wave of new strong, confident girl rockers was the mysterious and beautiful Debbie Harry, ex Playboy Bunny turned punk queen.
With her messy mop of ice-blonde hair, nonchalant attitude and tough-girl dress sense, she was the girl that everyone wanted to be (even some of the boys). Whether she was shooting a music video in a laidback Grecian dress or performing onstage with Blondie in nothing more than a band T-shirt and knickers, everyone wanted a piece of the Debbie Harry magic – and they still do. Celebrities such as Kirsten Dunst and Kate Moss cite Debbie Harry as one of their style heroes – she’s one of mine, too.
The distressed, rough-around-the-edges look is huge again at the monent, with designers such as Alexander Wang and Balenciaga giving the black leather n’ lace look a modern revamp. It’s one of the absolute easiest styles to try out – all you need is a pair of cool shades and attitude. Debbie’s dress sense was very no-frills, no-fuss – just sling a leather jacket over your favourite old T-shirt, and a slick of red lipstick and you’re good to go.
So here’s Shiny Style’s girl-power salute to the Blondie singer – check out the gallery above for our favourite Debbie Harry looks, and the best copycat finds on the high street.

Emma Roberts looked cute and on-trend in a fedora hat and skinny jeans in Los Angeles yesterday
Mandatory Credit: WENN.com
There’s nothing we love better than trawling through paparazzi pictures here at Shiny Style, and today was no exception – we had a good hard look to see which mahoosive stars were out partying and looking glam across the pond yesterday.
Some of New York’s finest were out in full force yesterday for a ”Green Auction” benefit at Christie’s in NYC – actress and style icon Diane Kruger tripped in on the arm of fashion designer Jason Wu in a gloriously old-fashioned little black dress with a white silk petticoat, demure high heels and a fishtail plait, while editor-at-large of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, was her normal scary fashion self in a leather and floral midi-dress which showed off her tiny frame.
Nicki Minaj turned up looking crazy and amazing as normal in a microscopically tiny leather playsuit with a green beehive – we love. Also there was The City star Olivia Palermo, who looked impeccable in a lace-effect blouse and a digital-printed pleated skirt – if you want to know how to combine prints without making it look like a crazy mess, she’s the girl to look to.
At a launch event in Nevada, Pamela Anderson was out with her mandem in a floor-length white number and absolutely enormous hair.
Meanwhile our favourite stars of the silver screen were spotted enjoying some down-time in their neighbourhoods – prodigal actress Emma Roberts was seen out and about in Los Angeles looking cute and on-trend in a camel fedora hat and skinny jeans, teamed with demure little ballet flats. We wish we looked this good on our day off. Back in the Big Apple, actress Naomi Watts was spotted nonchalantly sporting classic Ray-Ban sunglasses and a khaki parka while she was out about about.
To see who we spotted in the US yesterday, check out the gallery above.

Jason Wu’s new A/W 2011-12 collection just reminded me of why exactly he’s one of my favourite designers. In short, it was the kind of collection that dreams are made of. Built up mainly out of beautifully structured basics, and elaborated upon with prints, embellishment and Miu Miu-esque bows, the collection managed to encompass both the chic spirit of European fashion and the high-octane power and edginess of New York fashion.
As soon as the first look came down the runway, it was obvious that Wu had knocked it right out of the park yet again; the model appeared in the perfect pair of low-slung tailored trousers and tuxedo jacket, a sweet monochrome print on the shirt beneath. With an industrial grey lace-trimmed coat slung casually over the model’s shoulders, and a black silk bow tied at the shirt collar, this was girlish androgyny at its best. What followed after this first flawlessly put-together look was a long stream of perfect separates which we predict will become wardrobe staples – sharply high-necked, stiff-collared printed shirts, neat A-line skirts, bows at the collar and high-waisted dress pants. One of our absolute favourites out of his more casual looks was the leather A-line skirt/high-necked lace blouse combination, which, teamed with a vintage-esque monochrome handbag and red metallic heels was a knockout. ASOS, if you’re reading – please, please, please copy these pieces ASAP.
When it came to formalwear in Wu’s 2011-12 collection, lace, feathers and lavish embellishment were all key themes. With simple tailored skirts, jackets and blazers all adorned in the same extravagant costume jewellery detail on the hemlines and shoulders, Wu has basically single-handedly reinvented tailored dressing for women. Like many other designers this season, he favoured lace in both casual and formalwear – lace trims running up the sides of sleeves and legs were seen everywhere in this collection, bringing each look together smoothly and cohesively.
So basically, we absolutely adore this A/W collection from Jason Wu. To check out highlights from his NY Fashion Week show, check out the gallery above.
