Katie Holmes and Michelle Williams
American actresses Katie Holmes and Michelle Williams have both come a long way since their days playing Joey Potter and Jen Lindley in the hit teen drama Dawson\'s Creek. Katie, 29, has grown from teen star to Hollywood A-lister and become Mrs Tom Cruise in the process.
Michelle, 27, has also made the leap from the small to the silver screen with panache, even bagging herself an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in Brokeback Mountain. What\'s more, both have become mothers to adorable tots Suri and Matilda Rose (daughter of the late Australian actor Heath Ledger) respectively.
While their careers are going stellar it hasn\'t gone unnoticed here at handbag that their style queen status is on the up too. Katie has transformed from cute girl-next-door to glossy fashionista. With her sleek bob and sophisticated, elegant style she has become the poster girl for ladylike chic, whether she is donning knockout cocktail dresses on the red carpet or wearing high-waisted jeans and a smart overcoat.
Michelle has been earning her fashion stripes too, perfecting an effortless, downtime city look in cool summer dresses, shorts and hats by day, as well as \'60s inspired choices and vintage gowns by night. Read on to see two of Hollywood\'s brightest young stars fight it out in the handbag fashion face-off...
