Yesterday, we wrote about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes sharing the cover of [T Style Magazine](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrities-in-vintage-photo-shoots-tom-cruise-and-katie-holmes-for-t-style). While Solve Sundsbo’s choice to use Old Hollywood influences is unusual, it certainly was a purposeful choice.

Indeed, it’s only appropriate that Katie Holmes was styled in a [retro glam manner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throwback-collection) that channels Greta Garbo, because she’s currently on Broadway in ‘All My Sons,’ an Arthur Miller-authored play that took home two Tony Awards in 1947.

In the editorial, Katie Holmes shares her love of theater and desire to perform in a play. We’ve seen a number of [retro revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1); this shoot is especially appropriate for Katie Holmes, however, because of her work in ‘All My Sons.’
