At age 14, she began classes at a modeling school in Toledo which led her to the International Modeling and Talent Association (IMTA) Competition held in New York City in 1996. Eventually, Holmes was signed to an agent after performing a monologue from To Kill a Mockingbird. An audition tape was sent to the casting director for the 1997 film The Ice Storm, directed by Ang Lee, and Holmes made her big-screen debut in the role of Libbets Casey in the film, opposite Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver.

In January 1997, Holmes went to Los Angeles for pilot season, when producers and cast shoot new programs in the hopes of securing a spot on a network schedule. The Toledo Blade reported she was offered the lead in Buffy the Vampire Slayer but she turned it down in order to finish high school. Columbia TriStar Television, producer of a new show named Dawson's Creek that was created by screenwriter Kevin Williamson, asked her to come to Los Angeles to audition, but there was a conflict with her schedule. "I was doing my school play, Damn Yankees. And I was playing Lola. I even got to wear the feather boa. I thought, 'There is no way I'm not playing Lola to go audition for some network. I couldn't let my school down. We had already sold a lot of tickets. So I told Kevin and The WB, 'I'm sorry. I just can't meet with you this week. I've got other commitments.' "Andy Mangels.

During her time as a series regular on Dawson's Creek, Holmes's first leading role in a film came in 1998's Disturbing Behavior, a Scream-era Stepford Wives-goes-to-high school thriller, where she was a loner from the wrong side of the tracks. The film was recut from what the director intended. Roger Ebert, then of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote of her character, Rachel, "dresses in black and likes to strike poses on the beds of pickup trucks and is a bad girl who is in great danger of becoming a very good one."{{cite web |last1=Ebert |first1=Roger |title=Disturbing Behavior movie review (1998) |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/disturbing-behavior-1998 |website=Roger Ebert |access-date=February 23, 2022 |date=July 24, 1998|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051129035113/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F19980724%2FREVIEWS%2F807240301%2F1023 |archive-date=November 29, 2005 }}Stephen Holden.

Despite the fact that it received mixed reviews and was not a huge financial success, the actress won a MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance for the role and also received a Saturn Award nomination for the part. Holmes, though, said the film was "just horrible." In 1999, she played a disaffected supermarket clerk in Doug Liman's ensemble piece Go.{{cite web |last1=Ebert |first1=Roger |title=Go movie review (1999) |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/go-1999 |website=Roger Ebert |access-date=February 23, 2022 |date=April 9, 1999|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070525165233/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F19990409%2FREVIEWS%2F904090304%2F1023 |archive-date=May 25, 2007}} The film received excellent reviews and made a profit, and Holmes herself was liked by critics. The same year, in Kevin Williamson's Teaching Mrs. Tingle, which he wrote and directed, Holmes played a straight-A student whose vindictive teacher (Helen Mirren) threatens to keep her from a desperately needed scholarship.{{cite web |last=Ebert |first=Roger |title=Teaching Mrs. Tingle movie review (1999) |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/teaching-mrs-tingle-1999 |website=Roger Ebert |access-date=February 23, 2022 |date=August 20, 1999|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060114071612/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F19990820%2FREVIEWS%2F908200304%2F1023 |archive-date=January 14, 2006 }} Also in 1999, she had an uncredited cameo with Dawson's Creek co-star Joshua Jackson in Muppets from Space, which was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina where Dawson's Creek also filmed.{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158811/ |title=Muppets from Space |publisher=IMDb }}

The year 2000 saw Holmes feature in two film roles. The first was in Wonder Boys, directed by Curtis Hanson from the novel by Michael Chabon. The film told the story of a creative writing teacher at a university, with Michael Douglas in the leading role. Holmes had a small role (six and a half minutes of screen time) as Hannah Green, the talented student who lusts after Professor Grady Tripp (Douglas's character, who is her instructor and landlord). Many leading critics at the time took favorable notice to Holmes in the film. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said she was "just right as the beauty with kind of a crush on the old man."{{cite web |last1=Ebert |first1=Roger |title=Wonder Boys movie review (2000) |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/wonder-boys-2000 |website=Roger Ebert |access-date=February 23, 2022 |date=May 12, 2000|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060911121340/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20000512%2FREVIEWS%2F5120307%2F1023 |archive-date=September 11, 2006}}Kenneth Turan.

Her second feature film during 2000 was The Gift, a Southern Gothic story directed by Sam Raimi and starring Cate Blanchett, she played the antithesis of Joey Potter: a promiscuous rich girl having affairs with everyone from a sociopathic wife-beater (Keanu Reeves) to the district attorney (Gary Cole), and is murdered by her fiancé (Greg Kinnear). Holmes did her first nude scene for the film, in a scene where her character was about to be murdered. Her appearance was lamented by Variety{{'}}s Steven Kotler.Steven Kotler.

Holmes hosted Saturday Night Live on February 24, 2001, participating in a send-up of Dawson's Creek where she falls madly in love with Chris Kattan's Mr. Peepers character and singing "Big Spender" from Sweet Charity. In the 2002 film Abandon, written by Oscar winner Stephen Gaghan, Holmes plays a delusional, homicidal college student named "Katie". Todd McCarthy of Variety and Roger Ebert commended her performance,{{cite web |last1=Ebert |first1=Roger |title=Abandon movie review (2002) |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/abandon-2002 |website=Roger Ebert |access-date=February 23, 2022 |date=October 18, 2002|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051208202658/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20021018%2FREVIEWS%2F210180301%2F1023 |archive-date=December 8, 2005 }} but other critics savaged it.Todd McCarthy. "Subtlety is abandoned in routine thriller wrap-up". Variety. October 21, 2002. 33, 36. During the final season of Dawson's Creek, Holmes played the mistress of the public relations flack played by Colin Farrell in Phone Booth, which was both critically and financially successful. She also appeared as Robert Downey, Jr.'s nurse in The Singing Detective (2003). Dawson's Creek ended its run in 2003, and Holmes was the only actor to appear in all 128 episodes. "It was very difficult for me to leave Wilmington, to have my little glass bubble burst and move on. I hate change. On the other hand it was refreshing to play someone else", she said in 2004.Nancy Mills.

Holmes's first starring role post-Dawson's Creek was in 2003's Pieces of April, a gritty comedy about a dysfunctional family on Thanksgiving. Many critics and audiences agreed that Holmes had given her best performance in the film as April. Variety said it was "one of her best film performances."David Rooney. Review of Pieces of April. Variety. January 27, 2003. 24. "Each actor shines", wrote Elvis Mitchell, "even Ms. Holmes, whose beauty seems to have fogged the minds of her previous directors" in playing "a brat who is slaving to find her inner decency and barely has the equipment for such an achievement, let alone to serve a meal whose salmonella potential could claim an entire borough. Yet it is her surliness, as well as her intransigent determination to make Thanksgiving work, that keeps the laughs coming."Elvis Mitchell. "Second Helpings of Holiday Cheer". The New York Times. October 17, 2003. E1. Holmes also received a Satellite Award for Best Actress for the role. On the November 9, 2003 episode, she was Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher and the next year she was the subject of an episode of the MTV program Diary.{{cite web |last=Borrelli |first=Christopher |title=Holmes comes home: Actress hits favorite hangouts for MTV's 'Diary' |url=https://www.toledoblade.com/frontpage/2004/08/27/Holmes-comes-home-Actress-hits-favorite-hangouts-for-MTV-s-Diary/stories/200408270050 |website=The Blade |access-date=February 23, 2022 |date=August 27, 2004}}

That year, she starred as the U.S. President's daughter in First Daughter, which was originally slated to be released in January 2004 on the same day as Chasing Liberty, another film about a president's daughter, but was ultimately released in September 2004, to negative reviews and low ticket sales. First Daughter, directed by Forest Whitaker, also starred Michael Keaton as her character's father and Marc Blucas as her love interest. Kirk Honeycutt called her character Samantha Mackenzie "a startling example of how a studio film can dumb down and neutralize the comic abilities of a lively young star."Kirk Honeycutt.

In 2005, Holmes characterised her film career as being a string of "bombs." "Usually I'm not even in the top ten", she said, the highest-grossing film of her career then being Phone Booth. She lamented "It's not like I have a lot of stuff that's great just waiting for me to sign on to."{{cite web |last1=Borrelli |first1=Christopher |title=Katie Holmes, Toledo's leading lady |url=https://www.toledoblade.com/a-e/movies/2002/10/20/Katie-Holmes-Toledo-s-leading-lady/stories/200210200001 |website=The Blade |access-date=February 23, 2022 |date=October 27, 2002}} She also appeared in the film version of Christopher Buckley's satirical novel Thank You for Smoking, about a tobacco lobbyist played by Aaron Eckhart, whom Holmes's character, a Washington reporter, seduces. Variety wrote one of the film's "sole relatively weak notes [came] from Holmes, who lacks even a hint of the wiliness of a ruthless reporter" and The New York Times said the cast was "exceptionally fine" except for Holmes, who "strain[ed] credulity" in her role.David Rooney.

Also in 2005, Holmes had agreed to play in Shame on You, a biopic about the country singer Spade Cooley written and directed by Dennis Quaid, as the wife whom Cooley (played by Quaid) stomps to death. But the picture, set to shoot in New Orleans, Louisiana, was delayed by Hurricane Katrina, and Holmes dropped out due to her pregnancy.Gregory Kirschling. "The Deal Report." Entertainment Weekly.

She opened to mixed reviews. Ben Brantley of The New York Times claimed "the neophyte Ms. Holmes" is a "sad casualty" of director Simon McBurney's "high concept approach" to the play.
