New York street-style queen Katie Holmes went for a walk earlier this week. Exciting, right? This is newsworthy because she wore a brand that’s near and dear to the hearts of French women (it’s been around for a decade) but is also gaining major steam in the U.S.: Sézane.
Sézane is known for its pretty boho-chic vibe that reminds me of Free People but with a bit more tailoring. Holmes’ Sézane selection was a patchwork midi dress with long sleeves and a buttoned front. The casual dress is perfect for spring days, and while it would work with a variety of shoe styles, Holmes opted for the most casual of them all: sneakers—Adidas Samba sneakers, that is. In 2023, Sambas go with anything and everything—even French-girl boho dresses, as proven here.
Now that I’ve likely piqued your interest about Sézane, scroll to shop Holmes’ exact dress (which is a reasonable $220 and is still in stock in every size) and shop other divine Sézane dresses.

Les Francaises have a knack for making everything look as easy as un, deux, trois. From their no-makeup makeup to the breathy way they draw out their ouis, French women seem to have being effortless cornered. This is particularly true in winter, when looking cute can feel like a Herculean task. Even at subzero temperatures, French women move about unbothered, which felt novel to this Californian; the last thing I feel like doing when it’s cold and gray out is putting together a look.
But the French have it down to a science! This is partly due to how they shop. French women typically invest in a few good pieces per season, favoring timeless pieces over au courant trends. A well-cut coat. Sticking to long-lasting durable fabrics that drape well. After my first winter in Paris, I picked up a few tips to make cold-weather dressing more fun—as well as a shearling coat and pair of camel riding boots that I still own today (after all, practice makes perfect.)
Follow along, and we’ll meet at the intersection of cozy and chic.
