Suri Cruise Channeled Her Mom Katie Holmes’s ‘Dawson’s Creek’ Style in Denim Overalls

If there’s one thing I remember about the ’90s hit teen drama Dawson’s Creek, it’s Katie Holmes‘s character Joey Potter’s wardrobe. Defined by blue jeans, classic white tanks, and tube tops paired with bandanas, Potter’s style fell somewhere between tomboy and girl-next-door.  

More than 25 years later, Holmes’s outfits still nod to her Dawson’s Creek days—and now, even her teenage daughter, Suri Cruise, is taking her fashion cues from Potter’s playbook. Case in point? On Friday, the 18-year-old was spotted taking a summertime stroll in New York City, wearing a Joey Potter signature: overalls. 

Placing a modern spin on her denim dungarees, Cruise’s shorts version came in a medium wash and were worn half undone, exposing her black crop top with spaghetti straps underneath. She accessorized with a pair of black flip flops, a blue canvas tote, and silver jewelry. And while Cruise’s outfit was all Joey, her glam copied her mom’s minimal approach to beauty, with the teen haphazardly throwing her brunette hair back into a messy bun and putting on little-to-no makeup. 

Earlier this week, Holmes revealed how she’s coping with her daughter leaving for college this fall while speaking with Town & Country. “I’m proud of my daughter,” Holmes said of Suri, who is reportedly attending Carneige Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy.” 

“I remember being this age, this time of beginnings. It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that,” she continued, before jokingly adding: “The members of my book club are going to get annoyed hearing from me. I’ll be like, ‘Let’s meet once a week.'”
