Katie Holmes has influenced the designs for a new range of Church of Scientology uniforms, according to reports.

The 30-year-old wife of Tom Cruise – who is gearing up for her Holmes & Yang fashion launch in Los Angeles next month — has apparently helped inspire the new Richard Tyler creations.

“The scarlet-lined black capes with skirt and trouser suits are almost identical to the sort of clothes favored by Tom and Katie, if a little more vampire-themed,” a source told Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper.

“They gave the new designs the thumbs-up, along with church leader David Miscavige who had overall approval.”

It was recently claimed that Tom and Katie — who raise adorable daughter Suri together — had come to blows over their plans to have another baby.

“Katie saw a fertility expert earlier this year who told her that because she’s been trying for another baby for over a year, they ought to think about IVF,” a source said.

“But the Scientologists have waded in and said: ‘No way,’ because it’s against their practices.

“Katie’s tried what they’ve suggested, going on grueling detoxes. But Scientology’s always the problem — otherwise she and Tom would be blissfully happy.”
