Katie Holmes Keeps it Simple

Katie is polished perfection.

Smooth and shiny hair provides perfect polish to this evening look.

Out for the first time since the death of her brother-in-law, Katie Holmes attended the Independent Feature Project 30th Year Celebration in New York City on Sunday. The star looked elegant in an all black ensemble featuring unstructured pants, a keyhole halter top and streamlined black accessories.

Katie's perfectly polished hairstyle carries this look by adding a proper dose of glam without distracting from her outfit. To achieve this look at home work a generous dollop of smoothing cream (we love Straight Making No Frizz Styling Treatment, $24 at Sephora) into wet hair and blow dry completely using a paddle brush. Run a flat iron through hair paying special attention to hair around the face and ends. Finally, tuck hair behind ears and finish off with a strong hold spray.
