Since aligning herself with Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes has spectacular job making his forget her Joey Potter days. But in the past few weeks, the woman who once shopped with Victoria Beckham has been seen dialing it down a bit. Some would say a lot.

Katie’s most recent fashion contribution? The pegged ‘boyfriend jeans’ look. And while it’s a style the average woman could finally emulate, some consider it a step backwards for Holmes. Just ask Project Runway‘s Tim Gunn.

“I have to say, Katie Holmes has become so much more sophisticated in so many ways, but I think she’s in a dip right now. I can’t explain it. She ascended from this tomboyish waif look to an incredible sexy sophisticate. We realize how much style she’s capable of. I don’t get it.”

Thanks, Tim. You can speak for the rest of us anytime you’d like.
