Katie Holmes must be so relieved; now that she can wear any footwear she wants and doesn’t have to stick to flats. The 5’9 actress was mostly seen in flats next to her 5’7 ex-husband actor Tom Cruise. And it’s not just Holmes; we too are relieved to see her looking upbeat and glamorous instead of clumsy and strained in that unflattering footwear.

The actress attended the launch event of Narciso Rodriguez’s collection for Kohl at the IAC Building in New York, according to a report by justjared.com. Holmes looked chic and elegant in a full-sleeved little black dress by the designer. She teamed the LBD with nude heeled pumps and a classic black clutch. With her already enviable height which was added to by the heels, the 33-year-old actress and mother of one towered over Rodriguez at the red carpet.

Holmes left her glossy curls loose, sporting pink lips and a tinge of blush. The actress looked radiant and beamed at the camera.

The launch event was also attended by stars like Julianna Margulies and Emma Roberts. Roberts looked simple and lovely in a color blocked knee-length dress teamed with black Christian Louboutin stilettos. The star seemed very excited to attend the event as she Tweeted, “Getting ready for the kohls Narciso Rodriguez for DesigNation party.” Later, she Tweeted saying, “This collection is amazing and crazy affordable. Loving @Kohls Narciso for DesigNation!”

While Holmes and Roberts kept it simple, Margulies went for a black-and-white dress with a very creative design, which she teamed with black heels.

Narciso Rodriguez, a Parson’s School of Design alumni, made history when Michelle Obama chose to wear a dress from his Spring 2009 collection to celebrate Obama’s victory as the first African-American President of The United States. Rodriguez has dressed a number of celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes, Rachel Weisz and many more. He also has a range of footwear, handbags and fragrances to his credit.
