Katie Holmes turned heads with a rare curly hairstyle as she stepped out to celebrate Season 2 of Poker Face on Tuesday, May 6. Known for her effortless style and typically smooth, tousled waves, the actress surprised fans by showcasing her natural texture in voluminous curls.
Holmes, who is joining the cast of Poker Face alongside stars like Natasha Lyonne and Cynthia Erivo, wore a tailored blue and white floral suit by R13. Her softly curled hair cascaded over the suit’s structured shoulders, striking a balance between undone and subtly polished.
She credited hairstylist DJ Quintero for the look in an Instagram post before the event. Quintero, speaking to Allure, shared his styling process: “When she walked in the door, she had her natural texture, and I said, ‘Let’s just add some more texture.’” He used Living Proof’s Leave-In Conditioning Spray to prep the hair, then enhanced her curls with a small iron. Afterward, he set the look using large, loose braids and finished with the brand’s Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray.
Fans praised Holmes in the comments, especially for her hair. One wrote, “The hair ,” while another added, “Stunning and I LOVE your hair like that!” The reaction echoed a common sentiment—sometimes a subtle shift is all it takes to make a big impact.
