Is Katie Holmes turning into husband Tom Cruise?

Actress Katie Holmes has been accused of turning into a Stepford Wife since her marriage to Hollywood actor Tom Cruise, but judging by the her latest look, it appears she is channeling a role model a bit closer to home.

The actress looked uncannily similar to her Mission Impossible actor husband, as they both sported side-swept fringed hairdos on the red carpet at the premiere of Lions for Lambs in LA.

Statuesque Katie's brunette bobbed hair was tucked behind her ears for a sleek, modern take on her cropped hairstyle.

Double take: Loved-up Katie Holmes appears to be turning into her action star husband as she adopted a similar side-swept fringed look to the Hollywood star at the LA premiere of his new film last night

Closer than close: The couple looked strikingly similar with their brunette hairdos, with both dressed head to toe in sleek black clothing

But pictured standing next to husband Tom - while conveniently wearing flat embellished sandals with her stunning Grecian-style black gown - Katie appeared to look more like the action star's sibling than his wife.

Katie and Tom are not the only celebrity couple who have begun to slowly morph into one another.

In fact, they appear to be taking a leaf from pals Victoria and David Beckham who have in past cut their hair in similar styles, and worn matching outfits.

Actors Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt are another pair who have at times appeared in public looking very similar to their partners.

Brad, who was married to Jennifer Aniston before he met Angelina Jolie once wore a similarly grungy look to his actress wife at a film premiere.

Meanwhile, Tom clearly has no problem with his wife turning into his clone. He heaped praise on wife Katie Holmes recently, saying his marriage is "all very good, all very lovely."

He said: "I have a lot of respect for her as an artist, as a woman.

"She's a very strong, gracious woman. She's very funny, a great comedian."
