Katie Holmes Presents Designer of the Year to Zac Posen in Custom GapStudio Tuxedo

The red-carpet styling signals Posen’s push to reposition GapStudio toward sharper, couture-leaning tailoring.

Overview

  • Katie Holmes presented Zac Posen with the American Image Awards’ Designer of the Year in New York City on Tuesday.
  • She wore a custom GapStudio tuxedo in black double-weave with duchesse satin lapels, defined shoulder pads, and high-waisted slim pants.
  • A custom black corset under the jacket shaped the silhouette, and she finished the look with pointed patent slingback pumps by Herbert Levine.
  • The shoes featured a high vamp that covers more of the foot, aligning with a current red-carpet trend noted in recent celebrity looks.
  • The appearance doubled as a showcase of Posen’s elevated direction for GapStudio since 2024, with Marie Claire noting the label rarely presents suits this sleek.
