Update: Armani to Design Katie Holmes’ Wedding Gown

The rumors were true! An Armani spokesperson tells us, “Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have asked their longtime friend, Giorgio Armani, to design all of the wedding attire for their upcoming marriage.” It certainly won’t be the first time she has donned a white Armani gown– Holmes and fiance Tom Cruise were dressed by him for Oprah Winfrey’s Legends ball last year (left). Now, the real question is when is the wedding? Tell us: what do you think of Katie’s dress choice?

CLASSIC AND BEAUTIFUL AND ENDURING, JUST LIKE THE TWO OF THEM

Bunky

What’s with the lapels on Tom’s tux? I think you can see them from the back.

Renae

The dress designer perfect. The other things in her life besides her beautiful daughter, terrible.

Evelyn

How can you go wrong with Giorgio Armani?
Fabulous choice.

Kelly

She is such a pretty girl. I hope she is and will be very happy as she builds a life with her new family.

elaine

You cant go wrong wiht Armani. As for Katie? I predict the foolish silly girl will go on and marry Tom…and then a few years down the line he will divorce her before she can get any of his money, just like Nicole Kidman.

Nicole

You can’t go wrong with Armani. The choice of the groom on the otherhand, well …

JenB

The more expensive the gown, the quicker the Hollywood divorce. Good luck, Katie.

Jenna

Katie can wear whatever couture, high fashion she wants…

She will never be Nicole Kidman.

J.

I think that no matter what she wears, she will look beautiful. I wish her the best.

Helen

I think the choice of having Georgio Armani make her dress is great and I really hope that they live happily ever after and prove to everyone that they are wrong. So what if Tom has a belief in scientology everyone has their own beliefs obviously Katie doesn’t have a problem with it and that is all that matters.

ME

Fabolous choice!!! I hope everything goes as they plan!! They deserve to be happy!!! CONGRATS!!! I wish you both the best!!! Katie you’re beautiful!! Way better than Nicole Kidman!!!!

KAY

STAND UP STRAIGHT!!!!

MARISOL

LOVEEEE GEORGIO ARMANI!!!
EXCELLENT CHOICE…

Lindsay

She’ll be beautiful. I think all the scrutiny is absurd. Leave them alone and let them be happy.

Michelle Fiorilli

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise will be great husband and wife. i bet they will have beautiful kids as well.

Lauar

FYI: I would not be wearing heels that made me look like a giant compared to my man. The dress is so gorgeous!!

Mary

The dress should be the least of her concerns. If she goes thru with this “marriage” to that man, all I can think to say is Good Luck. You’ll need it.

Fran

The dress will be beautiful, just like her. On the other hand I get the feeling like she is being molded into something different. It is like she has lost her identity, since she has been with him.

Kate

I’m sure her dress will be beautiful. I really do feel bad for this poor girl….she had NO idea what she was getting herself into when she hooked up with this guy. It’s even harder for her to escape now because of that darling little baby. After she gets married & all the wedding planning is over & the baby fuss etc, she will probably realise her plight & hopefully come to her senses & bolt for the hills. Back to the wedding attire….I wonder if Tom will have special shoes made? He could just borrow a pair of Princes purple suede high heeled boots…now theres a thought!

Norah

I agree with Jamie. WHYYYY does everyone care sooo much about Katie, just because she had a baby with Tom Cruise and shes his fiance. What the hell has she done latley (except for being with Tom)??!!

Isnt it weird how Katie spends more time with Tom and Nicole’s kids than Nicole does? Nicole is just off in her own world with her country man. She could not care less about her kids with Tom. Imagine how her kids feel.

Heidi

Can’t go wrong with Armani….but with today’s Hollywood why even bother getting married. Just have large lavish commitment parties….so they can walk away from each other when their relationship becomes to much work.
They already live together and have a baby….what even makes the marriage anything special?

MIMI

Poor Katie, so infatuated, got in over her head.
And yes, Stand UP STRAIGHT girlfriend, be proud of your stature. Do not ever dwarf yourself for the likes of Tom Cruise or any man.

Carol Kinney

Who really cares. I just wish they would hurry and get married. Then MAYBE we won’t have to hear about them ALL the time. THe TomKat thing is OLD!!!

Eliza

I love this beatiful couple and their darling little baby Suri! can’t go wrong with Armani…I’m Italian too!eheheh

Billie Taylor

It use to be that couples would have the baby first then get married….why does so many couples live together first? And you wander why the marriage doesn’t last!

Mintie

People are mean and vicious; Tom has done nothing wrong to anyone in his life. He loves Katie. Katie, what has she done? Why is everyone saying hurtful things about a couple that is in love?. If it ends, it ends. In the meantime they are together, they have a child and they are happy. Let them be. And… don’t attack Nicole, she is also a lady.

Jamie

Mintie:

Tom and Kate are actors. When you chose to get into that profession, you face public scrutiny. Who cares if people have mean things to say about them, any celebrity should know that they are under magnification at all times and if they can’t take it, they wouldnt go into acting. As an actor, you are supposed to sell your image to the public, which Tom and Katie have been poorly doing, hence the mean sayings.

I say keep them coming. They deserve them.

Sonya

EEEWWWW who would want to be compaired to Nicole? she looks like a rat when she smiles. Katie is beautiful!

Jade

Ok, whoever said that Katie Holmes is prettier than Nicole Kidman is seriously disturbing. Nicole Kidman is absolutely stunning!!! No one compares to her. Katie has been like a robot ever since tom came into her life. I think Suri is cute, but Katie is a bit of an airhead. Nicole Kidman was smart to get out of that relationship when she did.

Sandra

I’m glad their finally getting married. When their relationship first started, they were going to get married before the baby was born- now one and half years later they finnaly are. I hope that they are both truly happy and stay together for the rest of their lives. There baby is adorable. I do think that Scientology is very interesting but it’s their decision and they’re entitled to it. I hear that Scientology came from a Science FICTION author. I wonder if the creator of Scientology even believes his created religion.

Eve

WHEN DID ARMANI START DESIGNING STRAIGHT JACKETS?

Holy Candy

Armani is fabulous. She may want to wear flats with the dress, though. Or maybe Tom can wear some nice stilettos? :-)

Melissa Boss

Ok this whole thing is insane. Hopefully, they will be very happy, but Katie has given up everything for this manic man!! Yeah, her dress is pretty, but not great. His tux is bad!! Baby Suri is beautiful and deserves a great life. Hopefully, they will get married and live happily ever after. As far as Nicole, how does anyone know her situation? Maybe Tom is keeping those kids from her. Maybe she is heartbroken and is just trying to do what she can to see them whenever she can. How can any of us judge her when she has to deal with the “Tom Crews” PR machine. Her kids also have to deal with that. It is up to Tom and Nicole to decide what works for their kids in the Jet Set world that they live in. God help those kids as they grow up. It won’t be easy!

diane

Katie is very beautiful I believe she will WAKE up someday and say what have I done? Tom is weird and becoming unpopular with all the statements and opinions he makes. No, since Tom left Nicole like he did the public will never think of him as we once did. And now the movie business is finally getting it. Love to Katie and Suri.

Rob

I tell ya, I was never a Katie H. fan. But for some reason now I think she REALLY looks beautiful and elegant. I always kind’ve wondered what Tom saw in her and if it’s what I now see I get it. She’s always smiling for the photographers and she’s always dressed beautifuly and terribly gracious! Maybe it’s motherhood…maybe it’s “Tomhood.” What ever it is it’s working for her and I’d love to hang out with her in Paris!…you think she would take me along? And oh not to be cruel but she’s totaly showing up Miss Posh. She looks like a squeeky lil tiny toy next to Katie. She’s to tan, to gaunt, to skiny AND has a crazy hair cut. OK I’m done.

sandy

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are two of the world’s truly classy, beautiful people. If they were given the respect due to them for their life choices they would be greatly admired by everyone. Their life together, their daughter, their appreciation of their children and their families is truly wonderful to see in a culture where there is little resepct or morality left. They live what they believe and that is rare these days….I pray that their wedding is as beautiful as they are and that they have a long and happy life together.

KLP

Tom & Katie are people just like the rest of us and they should be able to do whatever they want. Scientology is a religion and a way of life – so are Catholoicism and Buddhism and all the other religions out there in the world. We all have our own beliefs but the important point people tend to forget is that and we should respect the beliefs of others and not criticize. Katie’s a grown woman and wouldn’t be with Tom if she didn’t want to be. Besides, just look at all the pictures of Tom & Katie together – they’re HAPPY and it shows. I wish them all the best in their life together along with little Suri. And really, in the grand scheme of things how important is what they’re wearing at their wedding?

AnnieM

See above – Jenna says it best – end of story.

AnnieM

See above – Jenna says it best – end of story. (Love Eve’s comment too – ditto both). As long as they are making their living off the public buying their “product”, we can say whatever we want.

Luls

It’s interesting how Katie Holmes seems to be spending a lot of time shopping for her wedding dress or watching soccer games. Does she ever spend time with the baby? You see all the other celebrity mothers care for their new babies, but aside from the Vanity Fair shoot, you don’t see really see Katie as a mother. Only a shopper or someone whose hand seems to be glued to Tom Cruise’s.

S

Oh please,Nicole hasnt left her kids behind..what do you think joint custody means?? they both get them 50/50. It’s alot easier to do since they are home schooled. Just because Katie is seen without Suri doesnt mean jack either. We are allowed to leave the house without the kids and I dont blame her for not taking her places. I wouldnt want photgraphers going crazy everytime I took my kids out.
Leave them alone and move onto something else..like the ever popular idiot..PARIS HILTON

Helen

I’m sure they will look beautiful in what ever they wear and all the best to the happy couple.

karola

I love that couple!!! the dress sholud be a combination of them , like Suri!!! beautiful and courgeous!!!!!!!!!11

Mintie

Sonya, you, and some others in this blog, are just mean spirited, jealous, envious woman probably without a healthy loving relationship. I feel very sorry for all of you. Get a life, do something good for other people, that will make you happy.

VJ

I enjoy keeping up to date with Tom & Kate,I also enjoy the
updates on Keith & Nichole. I am a People Magazine fan.
I wish them all the best in their lifes present & future.
Love,Joy,Peace & Understanding above all things will keep them together. “Kate & Nichole” Are very elegant beautiful woman,
They look great in any fashion. “Tom & Keith” Yea!
Looking Good.

sonila

Tom and Katie are the best of the best. Tom is a lucky-lucky boy. He had the most beatiful womans in the world. Armani is the perfeckt choise for them. And wish them, ALL THE BEST, and with a boy now!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Katie

Nicole is beautiful, classy and doesnt try hard. Katie never looks comfortable or herself. Very weird looking couple and they never look natural. Nic and Tom were always understated and looked perfect together. I give them 5 years

Tara

im sure the clothes will look great, but god people give them a break, this is about clothes not there relationship, and definitely not about Nicole.

Yvette

They are two weird people with their religion but their gowns are elegant and classy.

Kel

Kay—if she stands up straight, her head will get chopped out of all photos with Tom.

Daboals

Beautiful gown, although I think they’re a weird, weird couple. The publicity of their relationship has been waaay over the top. Also, I think it’s hilarious when people act like they know how much time Tom vs. Nicole are spending with the kids. We have no idea because it’s none of our business!!

Chloe

Oh give it up people!
Yeah, yeah Nic and Tom looked good together.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
Get over it!

All the best to Tom and Katie.
Don’t listen to all these stupid people giving you negative vibes. They have nothing better to do than criticize people they don’t know.

You can’t go wrong with Armani. Wish he could design some clothes for me, then again I don’t have that kind of cash.

christine

I think Katies dress is very elegant,classie & suits her as person. It isn’t overly done, she looks goregous in her gown.

wolfy

Oh, heavens, another TomKat story to be batted around over and over and make headlines for those who give a crud…

Okay, I don’t. I think the young lady has made the biggest mistake in her life by hooking up with this idiot (who is twice her age, mind you), but to each his own.

Personally, I feel they should keep it quiet. Who gives a darn what they wear, what they eat, who designs what for whom or who comes to the (supposed) wedding?

If it lasts more than the 9 years, 11 months, 29 days than his marriage to Nicole and longer than he was married to Mimi Rogers, then maybe she has something going for her. But personally, I think the girl will tire of being in the background of Mr. Cruise (who is all ego), come to her senses and leave the jerk.

Do I care about him? Hell no. Do I care about her? Yeah, but only because she is so young and she’s making one heck of a mistake…poor kid.

I’ll give it a couple years. Then we’ll start hearing rumbles of problems and the divorce papers will start flying. He’ll take 90% (again) and leave the world with as bad a taste in it’s mouth as it had with M:I:III…

Letty Perez

She looks very pretty just the way her personality is .The dress fits her perfectly and they make a cute couple they deserve eachother,Hope they last a longtime together.

Mintie

Wolfy, if you don’t care about Tom Cruise, why are you writing about him? This blog is about Katie’s choice of a designer for her wedding dress. We all could say that she looks beautiful and wish her and her husband to be, happiness.
Every thing else is b.s.

Allie

GOOD!!! my sister got her wedding dress from Armani!! and hers was absolutely gorgeous!!! nice fashion pick!

night

I just can’t wait to see the dress she picks for the DIVORCE!!!

Michelle

Katie run for life.

Jayne

The control freak probably choose it for her. Couldn’t he let her have a catholic ceremony in Italy? Bet her family thinks alot of him! Ha!

robyn white

i think that giorgio armani is a good chice!
