Katie Holmes Experimented With the Peekaboo Bra Trend in a Strapless LBD
Katie Holmes is extending her run on Broadway with another strapless LBD that verifiably stole the spotlight at the Barrymore Theatre for the highly anticipated premiere of Othello. Stepping out on Sunday evening, the Dawson’s Creek alum looked impossibly chic in a black column gown courtesy of Khaite. Simple yet elegant, the dress cleverly tapped into the peekaboo bra trend with a contrasting fabrics on the bust and bodice that offered just a hint of edge. She paired the look with a strappy black heel and a Y2K-style crocodile purse.

Although Holmes wasn’t in this production, the star is no stranger to Broadway. Earlier this year, the actress took her final bow with her castmates in Our Town, which closed at the Barrymore on January 19. Her daughter, Suri Noelle, took a break from university to cheer on her mom from the audience. It was Holmes’s first role on stage since she played Lorna in Dead Accounts.
As for Othello? The premiere was a star-studded event by any measure, with the likes of Jill Biden, Jennifer Lopez, and Jamie Lee Curtis also in attendance. The play stars Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal as Othello and Iago, and quickly became the highest-grossing Broadway play of all time after it earned $2.8 million in a single week.
“It’s the most excited I’ve been this century,” Washington told CBS News. “Seriously. I haven’t been this excited about anything I’ve done as I am about this.”
