Katie Holmes Shapes Fall 2025 Bag Trends With Whitney Tote

Katie Holmes, who has been filming and directing the three part romance Happy Hours, has been turning heads in New York with a string of well‑timed bag choices and low‑key, trendforward outfits that fashion watchers say are shaping fall 2025 accessories demand. Photographers and fashion observers reported she was recently seen carrying a chocolate brown Max Mara Whitney bag in the city and, at the U.S. Open on August 29, she toted a forthcoming Marni Tulipea design while wearing a checkered silk dress and regnant ballet flats.

The Max Mara Whitney bag, refreshed this year to mark its 10th anniversary, is a chocolate‑brown, paneled tote with suede lining and a shoulder strap inspired by the Whitney Museum collaboration with the Renzo Piano Building Workshop. On the street Holmes paired it with relaxed silhouettes — a baggy gray jumper, lightwash mom jeans and black ballet flats — a casual combination that has become her signature. At the U.S. Open she traded that look for an ankle‑length white sundress, slouchy black leather jacket and oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses, later removing the jacket to show a bedazzled tennis‑inspired necklace and a butter yellow mini tote.
