In fashion, what goes out of fashion always comes back. This was certainly the case last Fall 2024 season, when Chemena Kamali's Chloé show in Paris revived a persistent look on the runway – the infamous boho-chic trend.
You know the vibe: Think lots of white lace and cascading ruffles, evoking a romantic and free-spirited feel. Such bohemian fashions have become increasingly popular since the 1970s – although the trend really took off in the early 2000s, when stars like Sienna Miller, the Olsen twins and Nicole Richie paired ruffled blouses with extra-wide belts and studded boots.
Now, thanks largely to Chloé, the look is back with a vengeance. While a handful of stars are embracing it once again, bohemian clothing looks very different in 2024.

Take the Chloé show itself. Kamali's ruffled dresses – airy, sheer and cut with asymmetrical hems – seemed like a more modern take on the look. They didn't appear to be in costume; It was more about taking the pillars of the trend and integrating them into designs that are simple and subtle. It's an approach that celebrities on the street are taking, with stars like Zoë Kravitz, Rosé, Rihanna and Miller (the queen of boho) jumping on the bandwagon in stylish ways that feel chic and current.
Miller, for example, stepped out in Paris in a white slip dress with lace trim. It's a bohemian staple that she paired with a cropped leather bomber jacket and sky-high platform wedges. Had this been the 2000s, she would have paired the same slip dress with cowboy boots and a fringed jacket; Her more sophisticated accent pieces made it feel completely new. The same goes for Rihanna, who recently paired a lace miniskirt with a thick leather and shearling coat; The look was more rock 'n' roll boho, less romantic boho.
