Thank God we have eagle-eyed readers. Apparently, while we were on hiatus, watching bowl games and drinking mulled wine and weep-swooning through Band of Brothers marathons (parenthetically: it says a lot about the hotness of that cast that the brief presence of both James McAvoy AND Jason O'Mara went completely unnoticed back when the miniseries premiered), Katie Holmes did this:

... She's just bored, right? Or is this a cry for help? Unless these are somehow an integral part of her costume (which still probably could've been kept to her dressing room rather than being taken out into the world and coated in denim), I REALLY feel serious alarm. I would expect these sorts of shenanigans from Hilary Duff, maybe, or Sienna Miller. Lindsay Lohan probably wants to design a pair of these with kneepads and call them The Starlet (as a companion piece to her evocatively named "Mr. President" padded leggings). But for Katie Holmes to deviate from a steady pre-theater diet of comfy jeans and cardigans in favor of STIRRUP TIGHTS worn under denim shorts... well, that took some effort, and the only explanation I can come up with is that she ran out of mood stabilizers and so she spends all her sleepless nights surfing eBay and watching QVC. She probably also has a genuine emeraldiste-studded toilet-roll holder, a space-saving dress made only of one argyle sock and a rubber band, and a nifty set of Hummel figurines in the image of the entire cast of Starship Troopers. I kind of wish she'd worn one or all of those instead.
