Katie Holmes Wore Jeans and Gucci Ankle Boots for Her 40th-Birthday Dinner

Happy birthday, Katie Holmes! The actress just turned 40 years old. To celebrate, Holmes went out for a low-key dinner in New York City wearing a laid-back yet stylish outfit: a simple gray tee and jeans with a colorful sweater coat and designer accessories, including Gucci Leather Mid-Heel Ankle Boots ($1690) and the Fendi Peekaboo Essential Black and Beige Leather Handbag ($5400).
While you almost certainly don't need thousands of dollars of designer accessories, you can still emulate the way Holmes dressed up the classic tee-and-jeans combo. Plus, if the weather cooperates, a fun sweater-coat hybrid is a fresh alternative to your go-to black wool coat. Scroll down to see what Holmes wore to her 40th birthday dinner and shop the look for yourself.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News.
