KATIE HOLMES IS BUTTERING UP THE DUCHESS, KATE MIDDLETON

Katie Holmes admits that she is a bit obsessed with Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. (And there IS a resemblance!) Katie had hoped she’d be able to host a luncheon for the royals when they visited LA, but their schedule didn’t allow it. Holmes admires Kate’s style so much that she sent her a big shipment of clothes from her Holmes & Yang collection. (She’s hoping to see a photo of Kate wearing one of her designs soon.) Katie would LOVE to become friends with the Duchess, and she’s counting on her pal Victoria Beckham to make the introduction.

KATIE HOLMES IS SERIOUS ABOUT HER FASHION BUSINESS

Katie Holmes and her partner Jeanne Yang have been quietly selling out their collections at upscale stores like Barneys so they’re taking the business to the next level. Celebrity stylist Jeanne has been dressing Katie for years and Suri’s love of fashion up actually inspired Katie to start the Holmes & Yang label. It’s still a secret, but Katie and Jeanne are preparing to open their first Holmes & Yang store in Beverly Hills this year. They’re in the process of remodeling a shop on Beverly Drive. Some girls have all the luck.
