We Spent 5 Minutes With Katie Holmes at Paris Fashion Week—Here's What She Said
Katie Holmes is one of the rare celebrities who has a knack for dressing in a way that's considered fashion catnip for the paparazzi. The Dawson's Creek darling turned Hollywood star turned low-key New York style icon is the high priestess of casual chic dressing, opting for jeans, button-downs, sweaters, and statement outerwear on the streets of Manhattan. Another staple of her wardrobe? Zimmermann. Turns out, the Australian brand, founded by Nicky and Simone Zimmermann in 1991, is such a favorite of hers that it's the one and only fashion show Holmes attended at Paris Fashion Week.
As the fall 2025 collection churned out intricate lace dresses, frilly skirts, long structured outerwear, and gorgeous lace gowns with just the right amount of bohemian spirit, it was easy to see why Holmes is such a devoted fan. Baby pink and beige nude silks mixed with ethereal flowing panels of white lace, and the accessories game of chunky jewelry, silk scarves and oversized sunglasses was strong. At this point, Zimmermann has become a household name on the Paris calendar, and is also one of the few big brands run by women. 'I'm really proud of these women,' Holmes tells ELLE moments before the show. 'I think Zimmermann has grown so much creatively, and obviously their shows are getting bigger and bigger.'
Wearing oversized cream pants and a matching jacket, Holmes paired her look with a black halter top, some necklaces, and a big chunky bag (all from Zimmermann, naturally). The outfit was effortless, much like her own mode of dressing every day or at high-profile events like the CFDA Awards. 'I start with comfort and occasion and I love colors,' she says of her outfit planning process. 'I like to mix some vintage pieces with some nude pieces. Sometimes, something that's the look of the season. I like brooches right now, even though I'm not wearing one.'
Holmes is in Paris only for a short time, but she is planning to pack in some cultural moments when she can. 'When I'm in Paris, I like to go to my favorite little coffee place,' she says. 'I like to feel comfortable. And also just walk around and find new galleries and places that I haven't been to before.'
Following the critically acclaimed first season of Poker Face, Holmes is starring in the second season alongside Natasha Lyonne, with a potential release date as early as this spring. 'Oh, I am so excited for Poker Face,' she gushes. 'I loved working with Natasha. I think she's the best. She's incredible. I play a woman named Greta, who's married to [a man named] Frank. Frank owns a funeral home and Greta wants a bigger life than she has, and she becomes friends with Charlie. That's the setup.' Even if the fashion week circuit only got to see Holmes once this season, we'll be seeing her on our collective screens again in the very near future. Welcome back, America's girl next door.

Kate Upton and Husband Justin Verlander Welcome Baby Boy
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Model and actress Kate Upton and baseball pitcher Justin Verlander reportedly welcomed their second child together, per a report published on Thursday, June 19, by TMZ. The baby is a boy, named Bellamy Brooks Verlander. The pair already share a six-year-old daughter, Genevieve. Here's everything to know about the couple and their growing family. Justin Verlander was born and raised in Manakin Sabot, Virginia. His parents, Richard and Kathy Verlander, got him and his younger brother, Ben Verlander, into sports early. Verlander played Little League at Tuckahoe Little League in Richmond, Virginia, then attended the The Richmond Baseball Academy. For college, he went to Old Dominion University (ODU) and played college baseball for their team, the Monarchs. His professional baseball career began after he became the second overall pick in the 2004 MLB Draft, signing with the Detroit Tigers. Now 42-years-old, Verlander is the oldest active player in the Majors and the 'most senior active athlete in any of the four major American sports,' per Elias. He's won three Cy Young Awards, nine All-Star selections, and two World Series rings and currently plays for the San Francisco Giants. Verlander is also very active in charity work, starting the Wins For Warriors Foundation in 2016 for veterans of the United States Military. The foundation also raised money in 2017 to help Houston recover from Hurricane Harvey. Verlander was honored with the Bob Feller Act of Valor Award in 2013. The pair started dating in 2014. In 2016, Verlander told Forbes magazine he and Upton have a 'normal relationship.' 'Kate's there a lot for me,' he said. 'And we're just normal people. You know, a normal relationship—believe it or not.' He proposed soon after, which she confirmed on the red carpet at the 2016 Met Gala, wearing her engagement ring. 'I'm really excited, he asked me right before season started so we've been keeping it on the down low for quite a while,' she told E! News at the time. 'So I'm excited to finally be able to share it with the world!' The pair tied the knot in November 2017 in Tuscany, Italy. Upton first announced she was expecting with an Instagram post in 2018, writing, '#PregnantinMiami,' and tagging her husband. Genevieve, sometimes called Vivi, was born that November. In an interview with The Houston Chronicle, Verlander said Vivi is 'really starting to get into it' when Verlander is playing on TV, sharing how she saw him playing at the clubhouse. 'She just stopped, looking at the screen, and said, 'Daddy, that's you!'' he explained. Upton told Extra in early 2019 that she was not considering having another baby anytime soon, because she had just started 'sleeping through the night' again. But bay number two arrived on June 19, 2025. In 2019, Verlander told People about how fatherhood changed how he plays ball. 'I would like to be able to play long enough that my daughter can see me and remember me playing baseball when she grows older,' he explained. 'Maybe if anything, it's going to push me to stay in shape and stay healthy, and be a good pitcher as long as I possibly can. I want her to be able to remember me on the field.'

Look Inside Olivia Wilde's Dreamy Greek Getaway With Zimmermann
There are few better places to jet off to in June than Mykonos. This past week, Zimmermann hosted a chic gathering of friends, family, and VIPs on the island to celebrate the opening of its new flagship boutique. Notable guests included Emma Roberts, Laura Harrier, and Olivia Wilde, who took us along as she got ready. The excursion embodied the best of Greek living. Upon arrival, festivities kicked off with an intimate dinner at Sea Satin Market, a waterfront tavern located directly under the famous Mykonos windmills. The following the day, guests gathered once again for a seaside lunch—this time at the iconic Spilia restaurant, where they lounged and celebrated well into the evening against a sunset backdrop and sounds by DJ Mimi Xu. For Wilde, the trip was as perfect as a spontaneous summer getaway can get. 'I had a great time in stunning Mykonos with the Zimmermann team, and all their gorgeous, fun guests,' the actress and director exclusively tells ELLE. 'We laughed so hard, ate and drank so well, and wore extremely good looks. It was the most gorgeous 24-hour adventure I've had in a long time.' During the main event at Spilia, Wilde looked statuesque, sporting a low-cut flowing black gown with a drop waist that moved perfectly in the coastal winds, ideal for kicking off her shoes on the sandy beaches and dancing the night away. Both the bronze glam and golden jewelry evoked the radiance of a Greek goddess, completing the island vision.
