Katie Holmes has your beauty routine covered.

Just months after signing on as the first famous face of Bobbi Brown cosmetics, the actress has inked a deal as the debut celebrity spokeswoman for Alterna Haircare.

Never heard of the brand? You’re not alone. “Alterna has been haircare’s ‘best kept secret’ for years,” Joan Malloy, the company’s president and CEO, says in a statement. “But that is about to change. We’re confident that adding Katie’s natural beauty, gorgeous hair and creative instincts to our state-of-the-art, results-driven haircare collection will be a game-changing combination.”

According to a release, the plan is for Holmes to help the brand grow worldwide — particularly in salons and retail stores. She’ll also appear in ads in March 2013 women’s beauty, lifestyle and salon trade magazines.

“I’m really proud to be a part of this company — not only because the products are incredible, but because their ‘accessible luxury’ and ‘free of’ philosophy really speaks to me,” Holmes says of the eco-conscious brand. “It’s good for my hair and good for the earth, so I feel good using it.”

Katie Holmes made headlines when she was named the first-ever celebrity face of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics back in September, and now we finally get a glimpse of the star’s gorgeous ad campaign.

Pretty pink lips, loose waves and a statement necklace complement the dramatic makeup effect.

It’s been a year of ups and downs for Katie Holmes, but she’s going out on a high note. Her effortlessly chic outfit earned top honors this week, making her the final best dressed star of 2012.

The stellar look consisted of a fuchsia Narciso Rodriguez dress and champagne bow-accented heels, topped off with an unexpected olive-green military-inspired trench worn to The Late Show with David Letterman in N.Y.C. The winning ensemble was a bright departure for the star, who tends to opt for more subdued colors. And the risk paid off because more than 6,000 PEOPLE.com readers gave it their style seal of approval.

The winning Alexander McQueen creation, worn to the Les Misérables premiere in N.Y.C. on Monday, featured a golden embroidered bodice, a tortoiseshell belt and black skirt.

This Week’s Best Dressed Star: Katie Holmes

The red carpet saw its fair share of sequins, metallics and lace, but all of that sparkle and sexiness was no match for Katie Holmes‘s basic LBD.

Her knee-length number earned more than 15,700 votes and nabbed the top spot on our best dressed list this week.

Holmes wore the winning creation — which features flutter sleeves and a V-neckline — with two-tone Gio Diev pumps (love!) to a Quentin Tarantino tribute at N.Y.C.’s MoMA on Monday.

Close behind Holmes in the number-two spot was Taylor Swift, who’s actually found herself in two of the top five spots on our weekly best dressed list.

Swift’s runner-up look (worn to N.Y.C.’s Ripple of Hope gala on Monday) consisted of a gold tulle embroidered Oscar de la Renta tea-length design, nude Jimmy Choo pumps and Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

What Do You Think of Katie Holmes’s Premiere Look?

Her performance received good reviews, but we’re not so sure people will be raving about the outfit Katie Holmes selected for the Dead Accounts premiere party.

For the Broadway play’s debut in N.Y.C. on Thursday evening, the star chose a busy feminine floral-print dress with black-and-white embellishment at the neckline, a black crochet-like panel at the waist and flared sleeves, plus a lemon clutch and Gio Diev strappy pumps.

We can’t say we strongly dislike any one part of the outfit (love the print, love the sexy touch at the waist, love the clutch, we could go on …), but all together, there’s just a lot going on with this ensemble … much like the plot of the play.

One aspect of her look we can’t critique: her Duchess of Cambridge-esque mane, a surprising — and welcome — departure from the way Holmes normally styles her hair (that would be stick-straight).

But we want to know what you think: Do you like Holmes’s outfit? What about her hair?

Katie Holmes Shows Her Holmes & Yang Line; the Fashion World Reacts

Sep/12/2012 at 12:00 PM ET

It’s over: Katie Holmes made her New York Fashion Week debut Wednesday morning, presenting 14 looks from her Holmes & Yang spring 2013 line to a select group of buyers, editors and fashionistas at the Lincoln Center tents. So … what’s the verdict?

“It all looks very much like Katie,” the New York Times‘s fashion writer Eric Wilson Tweeted (Suri’s Burn Book author Allie Hagan subsequently called this one a “burn”).

Women’s Wear Daily had kinder words, writing that the designers “are following in the footsteps of Victoria Beckham and [Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen] of The Row, fashion’s most successful celebrity crossovers above the mass level.” The Los Angeles Times referenced the clothes’ “relaxed L.A. sensibility,” and added, “There’s no reason to think that the line won’t continue to gain momentum.” Vogue U.K. had the kindest words, writing that the looks “packed a lot of punch,” had “smart details,” were “well edited [and] jovial” and that Holmes & Yang seem to be making “attire that is desirable and covetable.”

Additional Tweets were fairly sweet, with InStyle editor Ariel Foxman highlighting one clean black-and-white dress in particular, and Glamour‘s fashion director Anne Christensen calling the separates (and one specific navy moto jacket) simply “great.”
