Throwback Thursdays! Katie Holmes looks back to her Dawson's Creek days with nostalgic Instagram post

Katie Holmes seemed to be feeling nostalgic on Thursday.

The 36-year-old mother of one took it all the way back to the Nineties with a Throwback Thursday or from her Joey Potter days when she stared on the WB series Dawson’s Creek.

Holmes posted a photo of her 1998 Rolling Stone Magazine cover to Instagram where she was named ‘the sweetheart’ of the hit show.

On the vintage September 17, 1998, coverm Holmes appeared in character, looking like the sweet innocent girl next door, in cut off-shorts and a tank top as she sat on the symbolic tyre swing near the infamous dock.

Although she most likely appreciated growing up on the show and becoming a household name she is not confident that getting the entire Capseside crew back together will work.

I don't know,’ she told Yahoo Style . ‘Does it work today? I don't want them to grow up. It's kind of like your parents, they never get out of their 50's. That's where they are.’

Look ethereal in an emerald gown like Katie

Amidst the fashion world's current love-in with all things sheer and embroidered (we're lookin' at you, Beyoncé at the amFAR gala!) it's refreshing to see a star opt for a simpler, more understated look.

Katie Holmes stood out in a simple, charmeuse silk slip of a gown. A custom-made number by Ralph Lauren, we can't get enough of that rich olive-green hue which complements her dark tresses and olive skin tone to perfection.

Plus the high neck and silk-satin texture evokes the pared-back minimalist sheaths of the 90s. We know - something to come out of that era that we're not sick of!

And while Katie's gown is a one-of-a-kind creation (lucky thing!) you may be surprised to know the high street has some gorgeous silk-satin lookalikes.

We love this River Island slip of a dress or if you fancy a splurge head to Rosetta Getty at Net-A-Porter .

The mother of Suri Cruise was only 20-years-old when the show first aired. Since then technology has evolved.

‘It was of a certain time. It was pre-Internet,’ she said.

Holmes was on the show for six seasons from 1998-2003, alongside James Van Der Beek (Dawson Leery), Michelle Williams (Jen Lindley), Joshua Jackson (Pacey Witter), and Kerr Smith (Jack McPhee).

At the time the entire cast was young and still earning their acting stripes.

‘There was an innocence there," the Ray Donovan actress said.

Whiles she's remained relatively out of the spotlight for years, the rumored girlfriend of Jamie Foxx has been taking on smaller projects.

She joined the voice-over cast of Weinstein Co.'s English-language version of the Argentine family comedy Underdogs in 2014.

The show aired in April.
