What was Wrong with the Old (younger looking) Katie Holmes

So it's the simple story of boy meets girl, only the boy was Tom Cruise and the girl was Katie Holmes. One living at the top, one on the rise. My only question is, if Tom wanted Katie so bad why does she look almost unrecognizable compared to her former self??? Now don't get me wrong I am all for the stars having make-overs and stylist as I love to study their impeccable wardrobes but please, I would only study Katie Holmes now if I was pushing 50! Wait, isn't Tom pushing 50? Anyways, A beautiful young woman/mother who will turn thirty this year should look a little less OLD. Maybe I am going out on a limb but I have a feeling she is more like a puppet than a wife, I do truly hope they are very happy but find it hard to believe she wakes up every day thinking...I can't wait to wear my mothers clothes. Not to say she is not a beautiful woman still it's just...have you seeeen the clothes she is being photographed in lately?
You be the judge.
