Katie Holmes Joins Social Media Calendar Trend with Sweet Video Featuring Koala Slippers

Loads of celebrities have been participating in the social media calendar trend, but this brand-new addition by Katie Holmes takes the cake koala.

Yesterday, the Dawson’s Creek alum, 41, posted a video on her personal Instagram account that’s inspired by the internet’s latest fad. The idea involves creating a calendar of photos describing how we feel about nine months (!) of self-quarantine. (The pic collage usually starts off happy and then progresses to terror as the summer approaches).

While celebs like Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling and even Viola Davis posted pics on Insta, Holmes took the challenge one step farther (literally) and used a pair of koala slippers to explain her mood.

The video features Holmes’s legs from the knee down, along with a fluffy pair of koala slippers. The little animals dance across the screen, which reads “January” and “February,” before things take a turn for the worse.

By the time it reaches “April,” the slippers are practically moving in slow motion. Come “July,” Holmes drops into an energy-draining—yet impressive—split.

The clip concludes with Holmes disappearing from the frame, leaving her koalas slippers to entertain themselves. As of “September,” only one shoe remains. *Wipes tear*

Holmes is currently self-isolating with her daughter, Suri Cruise (14). Back in May, the actress shared a sun-drenched selfie on Instagram and captioned the post with six sunshine emojis.

Boredom at its finest, ladies and gents.
