Fugger: Katie Holmes

I bet Elle is feeling awkward about this cover line, considering it refers to a Kennedys mini-series that The History Channel recently refused to air after viewing it. (They’re saying it’s not accurate enough, or something, but it all rings a bit odd.)

However, no less awkward is the reference to seven rules of personal style, juxtaposed with Katie SURELY breaking one of those rules by wearing a glorified disco-movie leotard. Her face looks great, and I like the accessories, but I can’t get over how dopey I think that thing looks — especially how it’s all slouchy and baggy right near the waistband of the pants, like it’s not merely a leotard but a badly made one. It should surprise no one that it’s apparently from her Holmes & Yang line, which has I think distinguished itself with uninspired designs and a horrible fit.

But she does otherwise look fine — although I am not fond of armpits in photos, particularly — and it’s at least a sleek look that’s well-accessorized. So I’ll be democratic about it and throw this to a vote. Am I being too hard on poor RoboKate? Should I go out and buy a bathing suit and wear it with all my pants?
