Alison asked this morning if Katie Holmes wanted to look more like Christina Ricci. After all, her new and very severe haircut is so very goth, it adds a good 10 years to the well-married movie star. We think it's more of a nod to Anna Wintour, but there is a small goth connection: Katie's arched eyes and deep, shiny hair looks an awful lot like our favorite tantrum teen, Emily the Strange. With her glowering appeal and her "don't-touch-me" stance, Emily's entire being seems to be Katie's subtle subtext - unless you've actually started to believe she's totally in love with her life, in which case, well, it's just a very chic haircut.
