As revealed back in early January, Katie Holmes is the new face of Ann Taylor, replacing Heidi Klum for their Spring/Summer 2011 campaign.  Some new campaign images have been revealed and seriously they are just glamboyantly beautiful.  Newest recruit Katie was photographed by Tom Munro and as Ann Taylor stated on their facebook page yesterday they’ve loved all their ambassadors so far:

“Heidi, Katie, Naomi and Milla… Ann Taylor has had many incredible women representing us over the past year. We choose these women because we admire them for their substance and style and for the full lives they lead. They do it all with confidence and independence… and they always look so chic!”

Katie Holmes wasn’t just showing off her Holmes & Yang collection yesterday at Barneys New York — she also revealed two handbags! In collaboration with Valextra, Katie enlisted the help of her stylist and design partner Jeanne Yang on her latest venture.

Two calfskin bags are set to hit stores in July with a retail price of $3,950 each. They will be sold at Barneys in white, navy blue or shiny black and feature multiple interior pockets.

She continues to expand her fashion resume but are you really that excited to see bags in this price range by Katie Holmes?

Katie Holmes sure looked like she was feeling a bit chilly last Sunday! Accompanied by her hubby (Tom Cruise) and daughter (Suri), the 32 year old actress was enjoying a night out in New York City.  Her look for the evening was casual, yet chic carrying A lesser known style from the beloved designer, the Balenciaga Matelasse.

Katie Holmes was spotted picking strawberries with Suri in Toronto carrying the Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2010 Aviator bag. This bag has been seen on many celebrities in recent weeks and will be available to the public soon… that is if you have an extra $3,270 to spend on one handbag.

Stars are loving the Chloe Marcie!

The Marcie is new to the Spring 2010 collection and has already been spotted on the arms of many gorgeous starlets.

Effortlessly chic Rachel Bilson, looking fab as usual with her Marcie.
And finally pictured on the far right is the super adorable Jessica Alba with her all leather version.

It is fair to say that Katie Holmes looks like a bit of a try-hard hot mess. Joey Potter gone couture, it seems that she just hasn’t clicked in her fashion sea legs except has the budget to keep trying. Fair enough though, not everyone have a natural style, but what Mrs. Cruise lacks in style makes up for her taste in fantastic bags. Here we have her wrestling with her Suri to get her to do something (as all moms have to do with their toddlers), but wearing the Chloe’ Marcie Top Handle bag which for most of us plebs, has been sold out for quite some time.

Whoa, mama! Katie Holmes went all out for Elle’s Women in Hollywood event, stealing the show in a sheer black top and a lovely black Hermes Bombay Bag. (Hmmm…a sheer top and an Hermes purse? Who does that sound like…oh yes! Katie’s BFF Posh Spice!) The purse is timeless and tasteful, and Katie totally grown-up and ladylike. Joey Potter, we hardly knew ye.

I can barely make it a city block in a pair of heels and yet 3-year-old Suri Cruise has already mastered them? Color me depressed. The fashion forward tot hung out with mama Katie Holmes, looking chic – but not as chic as Suri, mind you – in relaxed mom khakis, a cardi, and her signature white Valextra tote. So, what do you think – should little girls wear heels?

So long, Chloe Paraty. Adios, Coach. Katie Holmes has a new favorite designer purse, and it’s this white Valextra Shopper. I like the tote’s polished look, though it’s a bit too stiff and clinical for my tastes. Case in point: The stark white hue and slim upright shape conflict with Katie’s boho black peasant dress and red heels. I think she needs a handbag that’s a bit slouchier and versatile, don’t you?

While juggling adorable daughter Suri, Katie Holmes keeps her Coach “Parker Hippie” bag ($358 at coach.com) safely secured messenger-style while out and about in Los Angeles.
