She shared, "We decided the rich color and subtle bustier effect detailing of the top was elegant and would be fun if paired with jeans, creating a more youthful feel for Jingle Ball and the atmosphere there."

Welch also told the publication that it was Katie's idea to pair the outfit with sneakers as she wanted to feel comfortable while dancing.

She added, "On the day of (and because Katie has her own effortless style that should be appreciated here), she said she wanted to wear sneakers, because it was a concert and obviously there would be a lot of dancing to Dua Lipa (and nothing is more comfortable!)."

Welch further noted that the 43-year-old Batman star is "more than capable of looking cool in an unintentional trend 20 years later."
