Beanie hats are so cute and fun, but they can also be a huge pain to incorporate into your hairstyle and overall look. Think frizz, static, flatness, awkward placements, smudging your face makeup and everything in between. But you gotta keep your head and ears warm on cold days, so hats are necessary come winter. However, the weather is no match for Katie Holmes and her gorgeous brunette hair, as evidenced by recent pics of the star looking extremely chic — per usual — in a winter hat.
Holmes was spotted out and about in New York City wearing a white beanie perched perfectly atop her long, dark hair. The true miracle is that she managed to make it look cute even with curtain bangs, which is no small feat. If you have or have had bangs in the past, you know that a tight-fitting hat can wreak havoc on your fringe, squashing it or frizzing it up. Not so for Holmes, apparently, who manages to make dressing (and hairstyling) for the weather look aspirational.
The star's hair was styled simply with a bit of a ‘70s vibe thanks to the super long, loose waves and easygoing, casually cool curtain bangs. (Her aviator sunglasses don’t hurt either.) In another photo from that same outing, Holmes ditched the hat entirely, letting her hair flow freely down her back and shoulders with zero frizz or static. Though I can't really see her makeup, her blush does remind me of the TikTok “I'm cold” aesthetic, meant to mimic your skin's flush on a chilly day.
Holmes debuted her bangs in late October, though the original fringe just about skimmed her brows; it looks like they've already grown out a lot in just over a month — just in time for hat season. But when you're Katie Holmes, there's simply no such thing as hat hair. And as someone who lives in a very cold, very wintry state, I'm very jealous.
