Katie Holmes is no stranger to making headlines with her effortlessly cool style—but this time, fans of the actress and fashion lovers had mixed reactions to one of her latest looks. The fan-favorite actress was all smiles posing on the red carpet during the opening night of the Broadway revival of 'Othello,' starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal.

The actress stepped out wearing a sleek, strapless black dress and a pair of Khaite sandals that immediately caught the attention of many online users due to their unconventional design, with many taking to social media to comment on the look.

The shoes featured a reimagined T-bar sandal with a sculptural twist. The brand's version includes an angular toe covering and a sharply pointed footbed, creating a silhouette that’s as eye-catching as it is divisive. While the sandals are definitely fashion-forward, it was not everyone’s cup of tea.

Some online users praised the avant-garde approach, while others were puzzled by the asymmetrical cap-toe fabric, which covers only one toe. It's this unexpected detail that’s turning the shoe into a full-on conversation piece.

But if there's anyone who can pull it off? It's Katie, as she is known to experiment with new styles both on and off the red carpet. The actress is not afraid to try new things and always looks confident in any outfit.

“I tend to go with what I like, and for spring, it’s usually the same silhouettes,” she told the publication. “I can’t wait to get back into a tank top. I usually wear them with a long skirt or baggy pants, so it feels very comfortable. I’m looking forward to wearing nice simple slip dresses again too. It’s going to be great to wear less layers…I’m sick of all the laundry!”
