She actually did that on purpose!
Katie Holmes is bringing the '80s hair back - hardcore.
The only thing missing are shoulder pads!
The wackstress was escorted by husband and personal bodyguard Tom Cruise from the set of Eli Stone on Wednesday night.
Holmes has signed on to appear on one episode of the ABC show.

God, don't they look like the most un-hip drive-their-kids-to-soccer games in their 4-runner pieces of crap alive? Except they're also brain-washed.
maybe it's for the role??
Ugly, anyhoo!
The hair is'nt my problem. I get a HUGE woman beater vibe from Cruise, and I dont like it at all.
so i was at my colorist in san francisco the other day. she had just come back from LA where she learned that PERMS are coming back! yes, the 70's/80s perms.
what's in her lower lip? herpes by tom?
i think it's cute…
wouldn't personally wear it, but it's not the worst i've seen.
I love it! It's very 80's chic…..but the clothes don't match the hair.
omg i thought this was an old high school pic at first!
Re: sea g – AGREED. apparently no one else seems to think so.
Isnt that just her stage hair/makeup? I cant see her rocking this much makeup and this elaborate hair everyday…
If she just came from the set, she probably has hair/makeup from filming. Heavy makeup and overdone hair don't go with the jeans and sweater — she would NEVER be out looking so mismatched on purpose.
your poll is fucked up. she's obviously doin it for the role she got for the show.
i want to cry, where is joey potter the beautiful young woman it's so sad. FUCK TOM CRUISE!!!
Why, oh why, does Katie Holmes look worse every time I see a picture of her?? She has been looking so awful these days…being with Tom has not done much for her looks at all. I almost wonder if Tom wants her to look ugly so she won't get attention or something…it's really sad. Katie used to be so fun and cute and now she's just a robot.
SHE IS ON THE SET OF A SHOW. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE CHARACTER SHE PLAYS IN THIS SHOW. STOP TALKING CRAP AND READ THE GODDAMN CAPTIONS…YOU IDIOTS!!!!
so sad
HEY, DOES ANYONE NOTICE THAT SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE CROCKED (DID I SPELL THAT RIGHT?) SMILE ANYMORE WHEN SHE TALKS OR SMILES. I BET TOM MADE HER HAVE THERAPY FOR THAT.
Oh my God…she looks like those FLDS women…CREEPYYYY
it's like she is trying to look middle-aged and unhappy
ohhh i bet she regrets cutting her hair, poor thing that is probably not all she regrets
i feel bad for her, i feel like he has corrupted her.
Forget the hair, what's up with the 80's gobbed-on makeup? She looks like she's about 40!
She looks 73 years old.. She has O Zero sex appeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you sure that's not susan sarandon or sigourney weaver from an old 80's movie? Youch! That is NOT a good look - all she needs is a frilly mock white shirt with a little string bow tie and a skirt with pumps and socks. Sorry, not good -
OMG! Tom ate her hand!
Really though, don't you think the hair and make-up were for the role she played on this show; this show that Tom had to escort her to?!?!?!
My gosh Katie Stepford, stand up for yourself and go to work on your own!
Two Words:
*
STEP
*
FORD

Scary as shit, man
OH my God. Look at that poor woman. It looks like she's trying to hide how thin she is under all of those baggy clothes…. this is prime example of what Hollywood stress and pressures does to good people. So Sad.
She looks exactly like Marcy from Married with Children.
I can actually picture her doing the "why does he call me a chicken" bit.
Too funny.
Omg, hilarious! Looks my mom's 1981 grad pictures!
.
I actually kinda like it, but the makeup is too heavy.
The hairdo is 80's enough, but the Robert Smith lipstick is hilarious. Oh wait, maybe that's not a nod to the Cure. Maybe she's just trying to cover up a herpe or two. ewwwww.
Julie the Tour Guide on Love Boat!
SHE LOOKS LIKE SOME 70'S PORN STAR…BOW-CHIKA-BOW-BOW
don't you realize she is probably working on a new film and has to wear her hair and makeup like that. that's what actors do, they get into character.
herpeeeeeeeeeesssssssss
Lip
That is all.
Can anyone say SWINGTOWN????????????????
I'm surprised that photogs are allowed to shoot Tom's profile. He looks nasty. I mean, he hasn't been hot since he was in "Legend," but still. Not hot from the side. At all.
i love her, i dont like tom
whats up with the hands? she was wearing black gloves in the last pic and is holding the sleeves over her hands in this pic…
hmmm
The hair is not so bad it's the 15 layers of the wrong color of makeup that make her look like a robot!
its the makeup not the hair
Her eyes look messed up.
Is it just me or does she look like Marcy Darcy on that top pic? Dang, marrying an old fart and having a kid makes you look old.
um, NO and look closely at her lips, herpes anyone???
Re: Wow – That is exactly what I had said! haha. Classic. What did Al call her? Chicken?
remember Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? She looks like the Joan of Ark chic…right?! Yeah, I would never wear my hair that way, but some might be able to pull it off. Plus Perez, if you think that Aggy is hot, then you should have no problem with this.
Does he escort her everywhere…? That's a bit creepy.
That is all sorts of fug. Speaking of which, Tom is looking all sorts of fug these days.
Ummm. It's probably for the show. Katie is usually pretty…subdued.
She looks like a grandma with that hairdo
she's beautiful
she had her had cut too short and looked like a boy, I guess that "do" was her way of trying to make the best of the cut. I liked her longer hair much better. She had a baby but there is no need for her to be looking so old like she has lately.
and check out her outfit…
Now I'm a huge fan of Dawson's Creek which is probably why I'm so disappointed in what Katie has become. I feel like shes made a huge mistake by marrying Tom Cruise and becoming this stepford wife. I feel like back before Tom she was this sweet girl nextdoor and now all of the sudden it's kinda like she sold out. Now shes throwing cocktail parties with Victoria Beckham and prancing around like shes the greatest thing. But when you really look close at all of the pictures that are in the magazines and online it looks like shes so sad. She's trapped in this life with a crazy husband who's brainwashed her. I feel so bad for her…it's heartbreaking.
If you had ever worked on a real set then you should know she is in character hair and makeup. Tom Cruise is still a nutbar but THAT is not everyday hair. However thank you for showing it so we could hear from so many delightfully well mannered young people.
I like it. It is cute and different and looks done. I am SOOO Sick of flat, stick straight, flat-ironed hair and extensions. That tired ass Paris HIlton flat hair has got to go!
BRING BACK THE PERM BABY!
Eww! She looks like Jill from Home Improvement…and that's NOT a good thing!
Tom is very insecure. He always follows her around and show up at her workplace.
.
Why does Katie wear old lady's lipstick? That color is so 1999.
SHE DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY AT ALL…
she looks like linda ronstadt
If she's coming from a set, that's probably her character's apperance.
It would appear to me that she is trying to grow her hair out. Not many options at that in between stage. That or it's for Eli Stone.
How do you know that hair style is not because of the role she was playing on the show? Besides, I would rather wear that hair style than any of your horrible clothing designs.
Katie can look very pretty when the pros do it all, but those DUMBO EARS should always be covered up!! The only thing that hairdo does for her is show off the HUGE EARS.
NO NO NO NO NO! …and that makeup. GAH!!!
tom cruise is pulling off the hitler look, only if he has a bushy mustache
Katie continues to look more and more unhappy the longer she's with Tommy Boy. She used to look young and happy. Now she looks older, tired, sad and haggard all the time. If she loses anymore weight she'll blow away. If I were her parents I'd be very concerned about her. She looks as if she's clinically depressed but of course Tommy would never allow her to be on anti-depressants. Sad, sad, sad.
She looks like the neighbor on Swingtown
it stinks, and i dont like it.
I'm sure that's for a role.
she looks like a middle-aged soccer mom
Is this for the show or something that Tom Cruise thought would look just fabulous on his "wife" (Robot). I mean sometimes I think that her "people" try to make her look older everyday its like what the hell katie holmes aren't you like 26? lets not dress like we are 40. Take some hints from your bestie Vicki Becks.
OMG! Ewwww. She used to be better looking! Well I guess she looks more Toms age now 45ish
Since when is he as tall as her?
She use to be super cute he has ruined her she looks so much older than she is too much make-up pretty soon she have cut her hair to look like toms he disgust me
That is freaky man! Her hair and make-up are just horrible!
Is it just me or does anybody else think that in the first photo she looks like she has two HUGE cold sores???? We know she is prone to them
The make up is too much,it makes me wonder if she comes from a photoshot?
I think she looks pretty and healthy. What's the problem? Slow news day?
NO. but my grandmother would. she dresses like that too. what's with this girl? was she ever in anything? i'm just curious.
At first I thought it was a black chick from the 70s. tom's butt looks huge
Did anyone notice the horrible cover-up job on the herpes?
OMG I love it. This is the best she has EVER looked.
She is gawky and tomboyish looking and this flatters her and makes her look pretty and flirty.
Before she made Tom look gay because she is so mannish looking.
Now she looks like someone that he might actually be in love with.
I never realized she could be so beautiful…Good job!!!
Where'd Katie go?
Mr. Cruise is getting his way…she's losing her soul.
So sad, what a freak show.
Tom still looks like Hitler, and there you have it…
He was a NOBODY, danced in his underwear, and voila another Hollywood cause celebre.
Mr. Tom Cruise, you need to change your ways…fast. No more impression management from your 'people', turn to GOD while there's still time. If only for the sake of your precious child. REPENT!
Her full transfornation into full blown Stepford Wife looks just about complete.
she looks like she is channeling Sean Young!
Are you kidding?! On Katie, any hair cut looks great. She has a great shape face and a cute nose, so whatever she does with her hair still works.
Anyway, perhaps she just did a glamorous photoshoot, ya never know! So, nosey-Perez, go find out the scoop!
she's obviously still in "on-set" hair and makeup. big deal. it's called "playing a role."
Haha! She looks like Amanda Bearse, who played Marcy on "Married With Children."
Looks like she belongs in Saturday Night Fever…Dancing with her fellow Scientologist…John Travolta
This is so for the part. She has a ton of makeup on and she doesn't typically wear that much.
ew ew ew ew ew.
i hope this stays on the eli stone set.
ugh.
Um, it's for her role on the show. It's not for regular daywear.
Duh.
SEPERATED AT BIRTH:
KITTY FROM THAT 70'S SHOW.
that hair and make up makes her look waaay older!
Not my favorite hair, but ok maybe it is cause of her role…. but why is she wearing really huge pants, and not showing her hands??? please find out!!!
Um, Katie totally looks like she has a cold sore. We need to start spreading that rumor because her normally perfect lipstick is not so perfect right now. LOOK CLOSELY!!!!!!!!! EWWW !
Perez, get a closeup of that mouth, looks like she's trying to cover up a case of those lip herpes again.
I think she's just a big fan of the cbs show swingtown. But she isn't as pretty as the actress who is actually working that do on the show.
Sorry to be mean, but I have to point out the obvious. I can't see past her CRAZY LAZY EYE to notice her hair. She should get THAT fixed. It used to bug me on Dawson's Creek b.c she'd be talking and then….that eye would wander off and it was super distracting.
fucking stepford wife! She looks terrible–
