Before her marriage to Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes was not considered to be much of a fashion chameleon. Her Dawson's Creek era hairstyle — an unassuming, just-out-of-bed look — matched her sense of style, and there was no reason for her to frequently change her look to keep up with the times. But then came Tom. And Suri. And Posh. And suddenly, Katie's "look" was something to be observed, altering rapidly with each life change, and now, her brand-new page boy cut is a certifiable oddity. We put together a montage of the various styles that Katie has undergone in the last two years; strangely enough, as her hair has gotten shorter and shorter, her transformation has resulted in an eerie resemblance to both Tom's silky cut and little Suri's bob.
First, we reminisce on Katie back in 2006, when she could let her hair loose and long, uninhibited by friendships with severely bobbed Victoria Beckham and uninfluenced by Tom's irresistibly silky sheen. And this February, Katie had made her way into serious short territory. And now? Her cut looks like Mary Stuart Masterson's circa Some Kind Of Wonderful. Perhaps she's prepping for another marathon?

Tell me again the story of how Tom Cruise doesn't like boys.
The family-mandated hairstyle is necessary to allow one's head to fit in the special helmets onboard Xenu's spaceship.
amazing transformation from young, cute 20 something actress to tot toting mini-van driving, middle-aged appearing housewife.
Stepford Wife transformation nearly complete.
Ugh. Mom hair. Take two Xanax and proceed to menopause.
What is Xenu for "So incredibly sad" Sigh.....
When's her contract run out?
Hopefully she'll shave her head next and get the help she needs.
Hey, that first one depicts her wedding hair with the inexplicable one centimeter fringe along her hairline. Personally, I think it's to hide the scar where the cut open her braincase and replaced it with tapioca pudding.
I also imagine that haircuts and $1000 outfits for Suri are about the only things she's allowed to decide for herself.
She doesn't have the strength to hold up all that hair any more. Poor dear needs a steak.
As a licenced cosmetologist, I feel compelled to note that that haircut is most definitely not a pageboy.
I would call it a wedge, though it's a bit hard to tell what's happening in the back in that picture. If the back is as long as it looks like it might be, she could be venturing into ::shudder:: mullet territory.
Jexenu. Somebody needs to save that poor girl.
Katie, dear, eat a sandwich!
I'll admit it, I'd kill for some thick, glossy bangs like that. Do you think it's human or synthetic?
@hack-a-rific: It's human. Some people are just blessed. (I say this because I have a friend with real thick glossy bangs like that...yes, I am very jealous, thank you for asking.)
Could be for a role - I heard tell about play w/John Lithgow.
Or she's loopy and will be shaving her head soon.
Does she get to keep Suri when the contract is finished or like Nicole will she just leave the kid with him in exchange for an obscene amount of money?
She's looking more gaunt in that latest photo, too -- must be all the tannis root she's drinking to keep the new Hubbard fetus growing properly.
Good God! She's got ears like Dumbo.
Anybody checked to see what kind of haircut their dog has?
Clearly, rescuing this poor woman is a job for Batman.
@first2letters: Very funny man--tannis root indeed.Suri has her father's eyes...
I must say that I think Katie is trying to be too old too fast. I know Tom is way older than her but she has seemed to lost her youthness! I know she isn't a kid anymore but she's acting 50 and that haircut seems she wants to look 50 too.
