Katie Holmes joined Zoe Saldaña and Karlie Kloss at the star-studded opening of Nordstrom’s long-awaited New York City flagship on October 22, 2019.

This evening, high fashion blended with retail history as Manhattan finally welcomed the retailer’s first full-line store.

Minimalist Elegance: Katie Holmes in Saint Laurent Black-Satin Dress

While many guests embraced autumn layers and oversized outerwear, Holmes opted for understated glamour. Her choice — a Saint Laurent Fall 2019 black-satin dress with padded shoulders, a sharply slanted hemline, and a pleat-gathered waist — captured the minimalist polish that has long defined her red-carpet presence.

Katie kept her all-black look from being boring with a youthful, tousled hairdo, vibrant red lipstick, and a fun, sexy pair of Saint Laurent sheer dotted stockings.

Statement Stockings & Suede Pumps by Giuseppe Zanotti

The 40-year-old actress rounded out her monochromatic ensemble with classic, can’t-go-wrong black suede pumps. You can buy her black suede “Carolyne” heels from Giuseppe Zanotti.

We adore how the black side buttons on Katie’s dress mimic the square dots on her sheer stockings. What we’re not loving is that gold-clasped flat clutch that looks like it won’t fit anything more than a phone.

Sport Meets Couture: Maria Sharapova in Sacai Fall 2019

In contrast to Katie’s simple look, Maria Sharapova’s complicated Sacai Fall 2019 dress was overladen with cargo chest pockets, sheer sleeves, drawstrings, pleats, and color-blocking.

We get that the army-green panels are meant to contrast with the rest of the dress’s fluidity. However, they only ended up making statuesque 6ft 1 ¼ (186.1 cm) Maria look boxy and wide around her midsection.

True to Her Roots: Maria Sharapova in Nike LA Cortez Sneakers

At least Maria stayed true to her sports roots. The Russian tennis player donned the latest iteration of her own Nike LA Cortez x Maria Sharapova sneakers for the occasion.
