Tom Cruise’s ex-wife Holmes’s fashion has created a buzz on the internet. Showing a photograph of Holmes, Barrymore said, “You’ve broke the internet with such looks as […] the cashmere bralette you were wearing. It looks like you’re contemplating your next move and basically, then you paused the entire world, commenting on your top.” In another photograph Holmes with the “jingle ball look” wearing a top over jeans and sneakers also made a sensation.

Responding to the later photograph from December 2022, the Rare Objects director said that it was like a corset. “So I threw it on with jeans, and I knew I wanted to dance there because I was going with my nephews, so I threw my sneakers on,” Holmes said.
