Don't get us wrong. We love Katie Holmes. We loved her in Go and Wonder Boys, but we're thinking she should limit her career to feature films and TV teen dramas.
She does deserve credit for trading in her pouty teen persona for Tom Cruise and international celebrity. There has yet to be a wedding more fabulous than hers and Tom's, or a bride more stunning than she was, in one-of-a-kind Armani lace. And that paparazzi shot of Katie and Suri playing in central park is in fact responsible for this season's boyfriend jean trend. Yet we're not sure whether or not designer doting and temporary trendsetting is enough to progress into a couture modeling career.
Her new Miu Miu campaign seems an effort to launch her into the fashion icon realm, but we were honestly more impressed with Kirsten Dunst's spread last season, and that's not saying much. The entire shot looks like it was produced for PF Chang's or Virgin Atlantic rather than a cutting edge design house. Katie just fails to project enough attitude to carry this photo into an artistic realm. We're looking at second-rate Victoria Beckham in this picture when we should be marveling at a fabulous dress. Granted, it may not completely be her fault. The collection may require a face with more creative edge to make it stand out, someone like Agness Deyn.
Katie should stick to what she knows best, hit up a sale at Barney's or feed Suri organic apple juice and Teddy Grahams. She does jet-setting mom as well as she did Joey Potter, and we love her for it.
Work it Katie, just not in an international campaign.
