Katie Holmes is known for her effortless and polished style, often wearing her hair in loose, understated waves. But on Tuesday, May 6, the actress surprised fans by showcasing her natural curls at a party celebrating the second season of Poker Face—the series she is joining alongside stars like Cynthia Erivo and Natasha Lyonne.
While Holmes usually sticks to a relaxed blowout, her latest look added a fresh twist. Wearing a blue and white floral suit by R13, she let her curls flow freely over her shoulders, offering a softer, more textured appearance. The style struck a balance between casual and refined—natural, but with just enough definition to hint at some styling help.
Holmes credited hairstylist DJ Quintero for the look, posting behind-the-scenes photos to Instagram before the event. Quintero told Allure that Holmes arrived with her natural texture, and he chose to enhance it. “I sprayed Living Proof’s new Leave-In Conditioning Spray all over and used a smaller iron to add more texture,” he explained. “Then I set the curls with larger braids and finished the style with Living Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray.”
Fans were quick to praise the transformation in the comments. “The hair ,” one user wrote, while another said, “Stunning and I LOVE your hair like that!”
Holmes’s appearance was a reminder of the beauty in embracing natural texture—and how a simple change can make a lasting impression.
